    70 Days Later, Obama accepts international assistance for Gulf spill

    http://finance.yahoo.com/news/US-acc....html?x=0&.v=2



    WASHINGTON (AP) -- The United States is accepting help from 12 countries and international organizations in dealing with the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

    The State Department said in a statement Tuesday that the U.S. is working out the particulars of the help that's been accepted.

    The iden ies of all 12 countries and international organizations were not immediately announced. One country was cited in the State Department statement -- Japan, which is providing two high-speed skimmers and fire containment boom.

    More than 30 countries and international organizations have offered to help with the spill. The State Department hasn't indicated why some offers have been accepted and others have not

    railing at someone's ability to ignore international opinion and then comparing that person to W.




    W's autobiography should be en led "How to ignore foreign opinion and how."

    Probably plenty once they get there.

    How many days does it take for them to travel that far?

    the no-brainer and correct response would have been to accept the help when it was offered. They would have been there already, possibly stopping much of the damage to the mainland.

    For these delays, we can blame president Obama for much of the damage.

    Most with low tech solutions. The ships coming have far better technology for dealing with this issues.

    Does anyone think there was any potential for a security threat or breach by allowing multiple foreign nations to operate near the gulf? I'm not saying spies are involved, but in terms of liability and stuff. I'm just throwing in ideas yo.

    tbh I'm surprised he didn't. Completely ignoring the ideas, opinions, and offers of foreign countries has always seemed like Republican territory tbh. Not even trolling with that statement. Conservatives have always admittedly hated foreign involvement in American affairs. Of course now they'll rail against Obama for the same thought process.

    I honestly don't think any of the past several presidents would have turned down such aide. I see this as a "holier than thou" at ude or worse yet, not letting a disaster go to waste for political purposes. Not wanting help, to insure it was a problem to be solved by him.

    I see it at best, he's just a dumb- . At worse, he is evil... willing to allow destruction for personal gain.

    No Stringer according to the Obama haters you let anyone with a skimmer into US territory.. of course it would be Obama's faulkt if something went wrong so either way the Obama haters can find him at fault. neat isn't it?

    As long as he makes decisions by political calculation. No. I see him as both incompetent as a leader, and a power hungry socialist.

    On the bright side, I'm happy he is such an incompetent leader. If he was like president Clinton in his leadership capability, I would truly worry for the damage done by this administration to our country. Since he is so incompetent, I still have hope.

    yet you have nothing to prove any of what you say... do you have any proof that he is making decisions based on political calculations..

    If he isn't making his decisions as you claim only proves that you are a hack and completely wrong.. so without poroof you're wrong and look stupid.

    Please stop being stupid. I'll bet everyone else sees that as my opinion. Must I link my opinion somehow?

    I base it on the facts I see and understand. There is no way I will attempt to link all things I consider right or wrong about him. I think your attempt to say my opinion has no basis is utterly moronic.

    Doesn't "I see it" mean an opinion to you?

    Get the off my case over such trivial stuff. I expect Chump to harass people, are you wanting to join that small group?
