Former First Lady Laura Bush Says Obama's Administration is Doing All It Can on BP Oil Spill


It's easy to cast blame about President Obama's response to the BP oil spill disaster in the Gulf, but former first lady Laura Bush believes he's doing all he can to halt the growing catastrophe.


"I think they're doing everything they can do. Absolutely. Just like we did with Katrina," Bush, 63, told "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts in an interview taped Wednesday that aired today. "You know, it's not one person's responsibility. The president can't do every single thing there is to do."

The economic and ecological devastation caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion off the coast of Louisiana in April has been called Obama's Katrina -- in reference to the deadly hurricane that devastated southern Louisiana and other Gulf Coast states in August 2005.

President George W. Bush's administration was harshly criticized for perceived inadequate preparation before the hurricane and mishandling its response to the storm's devastating effects. Obama's administration is facing mounting criticism from those who say it hasn't done enough to stem the continuous flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

4. Is it just me or is this lady an exceedingly sad case of female subjugation?

That's two anti-righto statements she makes in a short time. She may have been bottling it up all those years.

5. Actually, more could have been done with Katrina.

As for the oil spill, the private sector was allowed to run the show and decided to save money by not placing proper safeguards and fail-safes.

She is wrong to say that her husband did all he could when Katrina struck.
