And if Bush and Cheney, the oil guys, were still in charge?

I am not interested in too much finger pointing but I will say, If
Bush/Cheney were in charge they would have had the best people in the
oil business working together to plug this well on the first day.
I suspect Obama is still not getting that level of cooperation from
people he has demonized for 2 years.

You're both wingers, and full of it.

1. This type blowout has never happened before, and nobody can plug it,
then or now.

2. BP already has had from the beginning the best expertise in the oil
industry to try to plug it. It's in their interest to do so, because
the longer oil flows, the better their chance of going bankrupt.
Obama doesn't need BP's "cooperation." He just has to make them pay for
the damages and try to keep his poll numbers up.

3. Only the feds have the clout and resources to clean up the mess.
And whether Bush or Obama, it's the same creaky bureaucracy unless POTUS
commands the military to take over and control activities with the rules
thrown out.
The scope of this disaster demanded that from the beginning.
Bush failed the test for Katrina. Obama has failed now.

4. Deep offshore drilling can be made safe with correct procedures.
One way is to require an initial 100' cemented caisson with double
failsafe shutoffs instead of a single blowout preventer on the seabed.
Drilling then proceeds through the caisson.
Oh, that adds $20-40 million to the well cost? Big deal.

5. You guys playing politics with a national tragedy are dopes.

Jim - Injecting some common sense here.
