The Astonishing Failure of Leadership Is Taking Us All Down. Is It Naivete', Cowardice, Complacency or Treachery?

The offshore drilling firm responsible for running the Deepwater Horizon rig has given its top executives bonuses for its "best year" for safety.

A presidential commission concluded that the explosion had been caused by cost-cutting and directly blamed Transocean, BP and Halliburton for the disaster.

Despite that, Transocean handed out huge bonuses to its executives citing the company's best year for safety ever.

Can Barack Obama please, please, please not run for re-election. America can't take it anymore.

The Republican Party is running around the country, sabers drawn and nothing is being done to stop them.

The Democratic Party has every reason to fight back and fight back hard against the Republican/Conservative onslaught, but we are not seeing that fighting leadership coming from President Obama. The Democratic Party, the working class and middle class better have a Plan B for 2012, for we are witnessing the Decline and Fall of the Democratic Party.

I got the President's announcement on the radio as I woke up this morning. So depressing.
