President Barack Obama drew a lot of flak for the lack of specifics in his Oval Office address to the nation on Tuesday night.
His conclusion, which involved a long anecdote about “The Blessing of the Fleet” and his prayer for “that a hand may guide us through the storm towards a brighter day” failed to impress a whole lot of people who were looking for specifics regarding how and when the spill would be stopped.
Nevertheless, lawmakers in the Gulf have themselves apparently turned to prayer today as a way to solve the disaster. From CNN:
State senators in the gulf designated Sunday as a day for citizens to ask for God’s help dealing with the oil disaster.
“Thus far efforts made by mortals to try to solve the crisis have been to no avail,” state Sen. Robert Adley said in a statement released after last week’s unanimous vote for the day of prayer. “It is clearly time for a miracle for us.”
The resolution names Sunday as a statewide day of prayer in Louisiana and calls on people of all religions throughout the Gulf Coast “to pray for an end to this environmental emergency, sparing us all from the destruction of both culture and livelihood.
Sarah Palin alerted her followers to the plan earlier this morning.
Pray for Sarah Palin.
