Grasping again. I didn't say Obama was at fault, just stupid, which heVery clever!
is.
It never occurred to him or his amateurs to get everyone together in
the beginning so they could coordinate efforts. Of course it would look
bad asking all those Republican Governors for suggestions or asking them
how he, Obama, could help them. Or talking to the CEO of BP to see
what their plan of action was and how the administration could assist.
I guess he could go down there and stand in the rain again, we all know
he hasn't got enought sense to come in out of the rain. But I want to
see him kicking his own ass, since he has said the buck stopped with him.
We all know he never responsible for anything that fails.
What is that for?
You might like chasing your tail in circles, but I don't, and I doubt others do.
Hope you enjoy the electricity provided to your computer to type that message, and the water you put in your coffee pot this morning to brew with, not to mention the road you drove to work on today (especially if you used an interstate), or the nearly 100% reliable phone calls you made for the majority of your life until cell phone towers started going up everywhere.
Yep. The Fed messes everything up.
Yoni wants a massive Federal response so he can blame them when their response isn't satisfactory in his eyes.

In the first damn place, government doesn't furnish all electricity and
where it does, as in our case, they raise the rates and then give money
to a University to look for new energy sources.....we don't need any
damn new energy sources. And buy electricity from wind farms in
West Texas that is subsidized by the government to begin with and
then ask if we want to pay more for the damn power.....
I don't recall making a phone call to Obama to respond to the problem
in the gulf. I figure BP will handle it ASAP since it costing them a
bundle of money for that well to get spewing oil and gas.
Companies have a real incentive to stopping accidents, money. Government
has a real incentive to get involved. More regulation. And Obama is
pushing it to the hilt. Cap/Tax
When the penalties have no teeth, the regulators are sniffing cocaine off lobbyists asses, and legal delay puts the claimant class in the poorhouse or the graveyard? Not really.Companies have a real incentive to stopping accidents
Consider BP.

Their disaster preparedness was so piss-poor Exxon gave them the heave ho on the Valdez cleanup; the Texas City explosion a few years back killed 18 and wounded 170, and resulted in criminal safety claims against BP; then there was the pipeline spill in Alaska, the biggest ever in the US up 'til then; and now comes Deepwater Horizon.
Famous last words.
Did you read it yet?
I linked a relevant thread.
OTOH you could be right as well, xrayZ.Famous last words.
We'll see, or not.
(boring speculative contretemps)
Can't we create our own book with vbookie, and just do prop bets with each other? Is that allowed?
I'll bet on that proposition. BP stops the flow quick, defined as say, within the next six months.
The usual amount?
Randolph and Mortimer...
I've got the over.
Experts Say White House 'Misrepresented' Views to Justify Drilling Moratorium
Hmmm...interesting.The seven experts who advised President Obama
on how to deal with offshore drilling safety after the Deepwater Horizon explosion are accusing his administration of misrepresenting their views to make it appear that they supported a six-month drilling moratorium -- something they actually oppose.
I see....Salazar's report to Obama said a panel of seven experts "peer reviewed" his recommendations, which included a six-month moratorium on permits for new wells being drilled using floating rigs and an immediate halt to drilling operations.
"None of us actually reviewed the memorandum as it is in the report," oil expert Ken Arnold told Fox News. "What was in the report at the time it was reviewed was quite a bit different in its impact to what there is now. So we wanted to distance ourselves from that recommendation."
Salazar apologized to those experts Thursday.
The most transparent and competent administration, ever!
"The experts who are involved in crafting the report gave us their recommendation and their input and I very much appreciate those recommendations," he said. "It was not their decision on the moratorium. It was my decision and the president's decision to move forward."
In a letter the experts sent to Salazar, they said his primary recommendation "misrepresents" their position and that halting the drilling is actually a bad idea.
So, what did the experts say would happen if Obama ins uted a moratorium?
We are led by an idiot.They also said that because the floating rigs are scarce and in high demand worldwide, they will not simply sit in the Gulf idle for six months. The rigs will go to the North Sea and West Africa, possibly preventing the U.S. from being able to resume drilling for years.
They also said the best and most advanced rigs will be the first to go, leaving the U.S. with the older and potentially less safe rights operating in the nation's coastal waters.
Yes, I've been following this thread.
So where did they say the oil spill is Obama's fault?
Coast Guard Head Was Informed of Maine Oil Boom on 5/21. Yesterday, He Claimed He Didn’t Know
The.Most.Competent.Administration.Ever!
I said they blame everything on Obama. You haven't noticed the trend?
You post here regularly, Wild Cobra. Do you read the posts?
