Of course when you have a foreign oil company bribing the Obama admin
to ignore normal requirements, bad things can happen. You play by
Chicago rules and the Gulf Coast gets hurt. Obama does not care about
anybody in the south, he completely ignored the spill until the media
jumped on it and then ignored Nashville compeltely.

Didn't big mouth Obama say just a few weeks earlier to the start of the
spill that he wanted more oil drilling? Did he not open up new tracts
for that purpose?

After all, DC is hungry for $$$ and developing ones own oil has a
fantastic tax return for DC greedy overspending democrats.



It's comical how the mindless right keeps trying to shift the blame for
BP's screw-ups to the government.

Absolutely. Obama's folks have been in bed with BP from the gitgo.

"BP and its employees have given more than $3.5 million to federal candidates
over the past 20 years, with the largest chunk of their money going to Obama,
according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Donations come from a mix of
employees and the company's political action committees - $2.89 million flowed
to campaigns from BP-related PACs and about $638,000 came from individuals."

Officially, for federal politics, 1996.

But holding a political office of any kind started in 1988 as president
of a politial rag at Harvard.

Before that in highly political positions in community organizations.

So in fact at least 22 years, you are WRONG as usual.

If Bush had left BP in charge of this cluster**** for over a month
without any meaningful federal response the left would be losing their
mind.
James Carville, not exactly a GOP cheerleader, is one of the most
vocal critics of the lack of federal action and lack of pressure on
BP. He wants to know why we still trust BP to manage this problem.

as thad allen said today, who else has the expertise? what else would
be done?

so far no one has come up with better ideas.

the real fault was drilling in areas we could not control.
