Limited Media Access to Oil Spill?
Assoiciated Press ^ | May 29, 2010 | Associatede Press

Posted on 05/30/2010 6:16:21 AM PDT by libstripper

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Media organizations say they are being allowed only limited access to areas impacted by the Gulf oil spill through restrictions on plane and boat traffic that are making it difficult to document the worst spill in U.S. history.

BHO promised the most transparent administration to date. That’s probably the only truth he has told. It is glaringly obvious that he meant his administration would be transparent in a devious and diabolical way.

Maybe some of the few remaining patriots working with NOAA, NASA, and DoD will leak some updated sat pics of just is really occurring along the shores of the Gulf w/ regards to the cleanup / containment.

why don’t they whine as loudly about their denied access to the TOTUS?
____________

OTOH, this story tells me this oil spill is at a Defcon 5 level. What would the American public do if they knew just how bad it REALLY IS?

How is the coast guard going to deny access to the entire Gulf coast, then the Keys, then the East coast, and anywhere else the blob travels? THis is going to really test the O’s propaganda machine and internet censoring capabilities.

I didn’t expect the junk shot to work, but I actually have some high hopes about this latest thingy they are going to try. It won’t stop the flow, but I think it will greatly impede it until the relief well is finished.

BTW, I wonder if the American public will be made aware of it when one of those relief wells becomes a PRODUCING well. You know they are drilling 2 and they will only plug the bad one and one of the relief wells.

Wonder how much O will be paid to allow this and to keep his mouth shut about it as he denies permits to all other oil companies.

Maybe one of you socialist-loving propogandists would like to explain how you can be prevented from accessing miles of the Gulf coast line to cover this spill... we could use the information to protect our borders to the south. Face it scumbags, if a Republican were in the White House you would be wading hip deep in the sludge as you were reporting what happens as a result of capitalist greed... pathetic weasels.

From my post on another thread with my focus being every 1000 gallons recovered from the surface will help:

It's BS the way the goobermint is not functioning.....just barking. All the goobermint has to do is bring together the world's best for this situation and make them & their resources available for hire by BP.

The relief wells have a 99% chance of stopping the flow, BUT, that will take time to get them in place. So, Barky goes and vacates and very little resources are put to work to contain and cleanup. There's no reason a multifaceted surface containment plan has been put to task.

The tanker /vaccuums should have been in the area where the majority of the oil is rising to the surface....and guess what they can move if that area shifts too.

The f'n morons in goobermint already know this and still no serious efforts on surface containment and cleanup at this point.

The socialist yahoos are using this disaster to create more control and more taxes not to mention the US ban on its offshore exploration and drilling.

The sheeple are too stupid to realize the rest of the world is still drilling and pumping offshore and laughing at the US, its people, and especially Barky.

Uh, I believe it is far, FAR WORSE than we know and Obama knows he will go down in a ball of flames when we do find out. It is going to seriously affect our food supply, thousands upon thousands of jobs, oil prices, tourism, the environment, etc.

I also THINK this is the reason he is so detached and angry, vacationing and playing golf. He cannot do a damned thing about it and I think the narcasist in him has basically “checked out” emotionally and mentally.

Instead of vacationing and golfing, he should be constantly showing a visible presence and trying to reassure the American people and gulf coast residents. As good a liar as he is, he just cannot do THAT and keep a straight face for very long. I have not read any confident comments made by La residents following his visit last week. Even the Dem senator Landrieu said this is going to cost him. (paraphrased)

Bad as I want to see him fall, I’d rather this catastrophe NOT have happened!

So many of us have been praying that he would fall.
Guess God answered our prayers, but what a price!

I’m actually surprised that some members of the slobbering, fawning Obamedia has been questioning him at all and saying ANYTHING negative about him!
______

I am hopeful this latest “cap” plan will impede the flow of oil.
It won’t stop it, but I think they will have limited success with it.

How many out of work Americans would gladly go to a temp job at $14/hr (no bennies) to fabricate those floating containment booms?

How many millions of idle / shut factory square footage in how many states could be opened up to start the manufacturing?

How many idle freight cars are sitting that could haul the raw materials to those factories and finished goods to the Gulf?

No, it's more important that we grow other parts of the goobermint and buy tougher condoms to given to teens in public schools.

How much stimulus money could be used for what you just described but was, instead, WASTED ON TOTAL BS!

Is there even a dime of that stiumulus money remaining?
If so, it needs to be spent on the gulf coast and reimbursed by BP.

When all is said and done, BP will get away with paying a tiny fraction of what they should pay. Read up on Exxon Valdez and IXTOC.

Disgusting!
