Hoyatoma steps aside; BP has to stop what they are doing

Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama of Japan, who swept into power last year with bold promises to revamp the country, then faltered over broken campaign pledges to remove an American base from Okinawa, announced Wednesday that he would step down. He basically quit he job because his approval ratings (meaning if people like him) were under 25 percent. It was said that he was very indecisive and inconsistent of what he said he was going to do to improve the country. It is a shame that it came to this not because he was in office for only eight months, but he broke a long tradition of the Liberal Democratic Party. Looks like it was a mistake that he broke the long time political philosophy. Mr. Hatoyama is the fourth Japanese prime minister to resign in four years, which means Japan is not an easy nation to please.
BP, the English Oil Company who is responsible for the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, has taken too long and has screwed up too often since the oil spill occurred on April 20th. They have made several attempts to stop the oil flow between underwater robots, the "top kill" experiment, ice crystals trying to stop the flow, etc. Even though BP's executive, Tony Heyward, said several times that BP will stop this, they have failed to do so. The oil has hit the marshlands and areas that have threatened the lives of several animal species. When is it time for the U.S. government to tell BP to stop sucking at their jobs and take over the project? Over 30 million barrels of oil is in the water and it is nearly a mile deep into the sea. This could affect the economy and transportation in several ways. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and President Obama have claimed that whoever is responsible for the explosion that has caused the oil spill will be put to justice. I will believe it when I see it. This is the worst oil spill in American history and nothing is working to slow it down, never mind stop it. If I was Obama, I would tell Heyward, "Hey man, you said you were going to clean up your own mess. The mess is not cleaned up and it looks like it won't be. It's time for us to finish it off."
