Obami Capitalize on BP's PR Gaffe

You just know that had the Gulf gusher occurred on Dubya's watch they would have had to put heavy-duty tranquilizers in American tap water, so over-the-top (or tap) would be the shrieks and hysteria. But since Obama is at the helm, the reaction isn't nearly as crazed as it might have been. Then, too, BP seems to be helping out in the PR department by, for instance, allowing its chief to go for R&R and be seen to be engaging in a most elitist activity (involving a "yacht race," for goodness sake).

Not that that would have made the least bit of difference had the Republican been in charge.
