There was an excellent piece in yesterday's Post on this subject written by Eugene Robinson... He went down the time line of just what the Obama Administration has done in terms of a federal response to the oil spill and it is purdy incredible... Maybe Eb can find it and do a link to it...

But Eugene's observation is that inspite of all that the feds have done since the spill the Obama administration hasn't done enough to blow it's own horn... Yeah, I'm not too sure why Obama is unwilling to get out there and do the PR but it is becoming a problem for his administration... I mean, it's great to respond forcefully to situations but if ya' ain't out there selling, like George Bush was so good at, then the perception is that you aren'ty doing anything, which in this case is contrary to the facts...
