President Obama signs executive order to establish commission on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill

President Obama signs executive order to establish commission on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill: "President Obama announced that on Friday he signed an executive order establishing the bipartisan National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling." I suppose it's better late than never. But, what are we going to do about this one!! Shame on the Federal Government for not getting scientists and engineers involved IMMEDIATELY to solve the crisis. They act like it is not a crisis--it IS if you live here and your livelihood depends on the Gulf of Mexico. Fisherman are having to go to the homeless shelters in Fort Walton Beach--this commission isn't going to help them! Destin Florida is a vacationer's paradise, and there is tremendous fear that this is coming to an abrupt end--and along with it, an economy that has already been hit with real estate issues!
