Moment of shame!
Earlier today, footage of President Obama bending over to examine the sand on a Gulf beach, hit the broadcast airwaves.
Edited into the piece, was a shot of wokers clad in white suits, picking up tiny balls of oil residue that had washed up all along the once pristine coast.
The President gave heartfelt speeches in a bold-faced effort to quell the fears of the residents facing uncertain futures.
"You (the residents) will not be left behind," he promised.
"You will not be abandoned."
Some speculate that the President was pressured into taking the trek to the Gulf Coast to witness the disaster area (and its devastating effects on the environment) first-hand because of the fall-out on Capitol Hill in recent days.
Critics (and residents, too) have accused the President of dragging his feet and relying too much on the pace set by BP - which, to many, appears to be self-serving in nature.
But, the public relations ploy, may now blow up in BP's face.
Once the President's fleet sped off down the road, locals immediately spied the workers - toiling away earlier on the beach - tear off their white suits and call it a day.
The whole event had been staged to hoodwink the President and the American people.
The executives at BP should be tarred-and-feathered!
Amen!
