Silence of the Lambamas
It has now been almost two months and the oil still gushes from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Other than a desire to step on necks and looking for some ass to kick the Obama administration seems stymied as to which course of action to take with this current crisis.
Where is the outcry? Why is there no Hollywood outrage? The silence of the celebrity elite is deafening. What you have here is a clash of dilemmas. On the one hand you have an environmentalist’s nightmare while on the other you have this enormous love for Obama. What is a superstar to do? Where are the celebrities shampooing the oil off of pelicans?
While there has been some mediocre help it remains paltry compared to the Hurricane Katrina and Haiti earthquake relief effort. No international star-studded telethons to mention for this catastrophe.
There is, of course, the occassional blame George Bush for this oil spill mantra as if he donned scuba gear, swam down and pulled out the oil pipe himself. Had he still been in office there is no doubt there would be an endless outpouring of venomous rage from the liberal left calling for an immediate impeachment.
The Barack Obama administration brought the following philosophy to the White House, “You don’t ever want a crisis to go to waste; it’s an opportunity to do important things that you would otherwise avoid.” Must be that the current Hollywood mindset is if you don’t talk about the oil leak and its escalating disaster it will eventually just go away without leaving a stain on their beloved leader.
