RealClearPolitics - Playing Politics vs. Fighting the Spill:
Thuggery is unattractive. Ineffective thuggery even more so. Which may be one reason so many Americans have been reacting negatively to the response of Barack Obama and his administration to BP's gulf oil spill.
Take Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's remark that he would keep his 'boot on the neck' of BP, which brings to mind George Orwell's definition of totalitarianism as 'a boot stamping on a human face -- forever.' Except that Salazar's boot hasn't gotten much in the way of results yet."
