The Ballad of BP
I wonder whether the Brown Pelican will return? I wonder when Mr. Obama will next invite music headliners to the White House to play for him? I wonder what Mr. Obama would say to BP's CEO if he ever talks with him? I wonder whether the relief wells being drilled might fail to plug the leak? I wonder how much oil is actually leaking? I wonder why the White House is so nonchalant about accepting BP estimates regarding the scale of the leakage? I wonder what the oil eventually will do to the East Coast? I wonder where the Obama administration wants to drill with new offshore oil and gas exploration? I wonder why the Obama administration hasn't asked Congress for money to hire a few million clean-up workers? I wonder whether, when Mr. Obama acts angry, very many people think he really is? I wonder who among congressional Democrats might complain about the Obama administration's unresponsiveness? I wonder how much pain it takes before politicians feel it? I wonder what the Gulf's Least Terns are saying?
