Is Obama Using The Gulf Spill To Advance His Agenda?

I have been suspicious of the Administrations response to the Gulf Oil disaster since day one. They were slow to respond, and then only with words. Aside from the Coast Guard being in charge, as is mandated by law, the Government has done nothing towards mitigating the damages or cleaning up the mess.
But last week Obama let slip the motivation for his inaction. During a Press Briefing he made a point to state that the spill is an example of why we need to implement a carbon tax system to push us towards clean energy.
Oh, that connects the dots. Remember when Rahm Emanuel said you never want to let a serious crisis go to waste? Well it appears that the Administration is putting that philosophy into action.
Yes, mustn’t let this disaster go to waste. The Administration will use it to revive Cap and Trade. Yes my friends, Cap and Trade was DOA before this disaster. Now Obama has his perfect impetus to enact Cap and Trade. And the magnitude of this disaster will convince the average American of that. The disaster has created the political and public environment to push for Cap and Trade. Mark my words, Cap and Trade will be resurrected, and probably passed.
Rather than focus on prevention and clean-up, the Administration sees this as an opportunity. The Gulf Oil Disaster is bad enough, but to use it as an excuse to further a political agenda is downright criminal.
