The White House seems a bit touchy on the subject.

And, I'd say, in light of Rahm's famous, "Never let a crisis go to waste," comment, they have it coming. I wonder if he ever regrets that momentary lapse of candor.

I guess when you're lying about your response, you can get a bit touchy when people start connecting the dots...

See, the thing is, that platform was in international waters, just off the shores of the United States of America where the President had, at this disposal, all manner of resources to get the fuck out there and check it out for himself.

Intelligence wasn't the issue.

The obvious thing to criticize is the inadequacy of the Federal response. Yoni is slightly off-target again.

Expressed as a one panel cartoon, I like your online persona much better, though it does strike me as being deeply neurotic.

"President had, at this disposal, all manner of resources to get the fuck out there and check it out for himself."

You mean the way dubya "had, at this disposal, all manner of resources to get the fuck out there and check out (WMD) for himself"?

Why did dubya pull out the weapons inspector "resources"?

Yoni already tried to save his silly sideways-insinuation with a hackey one-panel cartoon. He already gave up. Can't you tell?

No, I don't think the Obama administration blew the well on purpose.

But, I do believe BP may have received some special favors from the Obama administration.

Obama biggest recipient of BP cash (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0510/36783.html)

U.S. exempted BP's Gulf of Mexico drilling from environmental impact study (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/04/AR2010050404118.html?hpid=topnews)


The decision by the department's Minerals Management Service (MMS) to give BP's lease at Deepwater Horizon a "categorical exclusion" from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) on April 6, 2009 -- and BP's lobbying efforts just 11 days before the explosion to expand those exemptions -- show that neither federal regulators nor the company anticipated an accident of the scale of the one unfolding in the gulf.

Or, it was a political payback.

Hmmmm...I wonder if any Mainstream Media Outlet will investigate whether or not NEPA would have required safeguards that would have mitigated this spill.

So you think the oil spill is political payback to the Obama administration by BP.

Brilliant.

Tell me Yoni, did this well start drilling on April 6, 2009?
