These people -- everybody from petroleum engineers to the rough men and women who work in oil fields in the world's most challenging environments to the machinists and welders who labor around the clock to build the next solution -- are not, in the main, responsible for the disaster. They are responsible for ending it. They are not known to us as individuals. In the current climate, where liberal activists intimidate the families of corporate executives to gain leverage, they no doubt hope to remain anonymous. They are working around the clock, to the point of exhaustion, in conditions, both physical and emotional, more stressful than most American employees (including many who complain about all the stress they are under) can possibly comprehend. They will eventually solve this problem they did not create. At the moment of their success, which no doubt will come, these men and women will have prevented staggering incremental damage. Their only reward, though, will be relief and the satisfaction of a job well done. <br /><br />I respectfully submit that the anonymous employees of BP and its contractors who are devoting themselves to plugging the hole and cleaning up the oil are, perhaps, the most heroic people in America right now.

If it weren't Drudgereport, which I think he extremely sexualized, I would be hard pressed to see this as sexual. Also, while yeah, the bias generally is against democrats, it's not exclusively so by any means. I suppose you didn't deny that, though.<br /><br /><br /><br /><i> 5/28/10 7:31 AM<br />Blogger MadisonMan said...<br /><br />The difficulty when a parent talks is not to bring up the kids -- especially when they are that age and their life is so inextricably bound up in your everyday routine. </i><br /><br />True enough, but a lot of politicians dress their kids up in political ways, and use them as props. There's no way Obama isn't one of the best examples of this. Palin is also one of the best examples of this, though she's certainly paid for that many times over.<br /><br />This isn't the politician's fault, though. The American people will not elect a man who doesn't have strong family ties. They have to use their kids and perhaps spouses as props because those who didn't do not survive in politics.<br /><br />I know plenty of successful single people of that age, but I know the general public just won't like them as much as the guy with the kid. Call it natural selection, then, that Obama happens to make his family part of his look.<br /><br />Some (most) don't see the sexual aspect. Whatever one there is is crossing the line. Because this is the US President. And because his kids really should be off limits. Even though he brought them into it... that's a necessary feature of political success and not a license of fair game.Dustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590811467601049788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-23825652525115813962010-05-28T07:36:46.476-05:002010-05-28T07:36:46.476-05:00I suppose he loves his kids, though he does make t...<i>I suppose he loves his kids, though he does make them into props<br /><br /></i>The difficulty when a parent talks is <b>not</b> to bring up the kids -- especially when they are that age and their life is so inextricably bound up in your everyday routine.MadisonManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01212179466758420208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-5888860020731009982010-05-28T07:31:13.886-05:002010-05-28T07:31:13.886-05:00Slow Joe points out above that Druge's landing...Slow Joe points out above that Druge's landing page always has a subtle edge to its combination of picture and headline. <br /><br />I agree that Drudge's headline's/photos always have a political edge that is hostile to the left. <br /><br />But I think this headline does that by emphasizing the idea that Obama is responsible for the leak.
