Playground Politicos and BP

Well I at least have a week and a bit off, and I intend to enjoy it. I have purchased some American bourbon called 'Stars and Stripes' (my contribution to their economy) and intend to enjoy it. Which is more than I can say for the puerile antics of the collection of American politicians and their school boy sarcasm while grilling the CEO of 'British Petroleum' this week.
You see I actually like Americans, and I felt their politicians let them down this week. You see, I really don't think the CEO of BP is actually 'Adolf Hitler' (if anything, he strikes me as a family man) or Mr Monty Burns for that matter, but if this is all these American politicians can muster; then why bother, if anything I felt more inclined to support BP, as these politicos demonstrated how intellectually light they really were, and it showed. Obama is clearly having a 'hissy' fit about something, we can only guess what? (his ratings perhaps?), and I imagine his definition of Government support is as about profound and immediate as the response to a real tragedy such as New Orleans?.
Nobody in BP wanted this well to breech for Gods sake!, so why don't we all act like adults?...
