Yes, that's why shit happens.

I think we want our nation's president to be a god, of sorts. Capable of solving each and every problem. But fact of the matter is that one intelligent and professorial man can't do it all. Things happen. Doesn't matter who's in the White House. Some problems can't be solved. At least not easily. Often it takes time. A long, long time. Almost seems like forever. Take the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. It happened largely because of human blunder. Could it have been prevented? Of course, it could. But the point is, it happened. And now we have to learn to live with it. To cope. To deal with it. And to try to see that something similar doesn't happen again. But face it. It'll take decades to return the environment back to what it used to be. Only god could fix this thing more or less overnight. But that won't happen. Because either god chooses to not intervene. Or maybe there isn't even a god. Only Barack Obama. Our esteemed leader. And he ain't gonna do it. Because he's leading a nation and a world filled with an abundance of idiots. Yes, that's why shit happens. And always will. --Jim Broede
