It was always my impression that when the BP oil spill first happened that the Obama administration's initial reaction was to use the disaster as a prop for the continued bashing of big business and big money - saw it as an excuse to practice the crass anti-capitalist populism that was in keeping with the unsympathetic view of business in general that had marked their approach to the financial crisis since the inauguration - and only after it became apparent just how serious the problem brewing there in the gulf was did they start to tone down the populist politicking and ramp up the disaster response - but I never read anyone else characterizing the Obama response in that way so I wondered if maybe my impression was tainted by bias and forgot about it.
Thankfully though [well, it's really a small deal not quite in need of the giving of thanks] but thankful anyways for the concerns of my delicate ego Dinesh D'souza at Forbes has written a rather scathing review of Obama's antiquated anti-colonialist agenda and the delusional psychology behind it [in short, Obama has daddy issues] where he sees Obama's response to the BP disaster in much the same terms as I saw it. So... there ya go... a victory for me... small victory, true, but ya take what you can get.
