Oil Spill Only the Beginning

Oil Spill Only the Beginning

Has anyone stopped to realize that the administration that is orchestrating the response to the oil spill is the same one who has hijacked your health care? Residents and the local governments of the Gulf States begged, pleaded and did everything within their power, to get the attention of this administration yet it took a full 34 days to garner any appreciable response from the Federal government. How much attention do you think an individual, in need of medical attention, will get from government officials charged with distributing health care?

Take note that this administration has articulated its priorities very clearly. The bribery, underhanded politics and back room deals needed to pass health care were well executed. Americans won’t know the full extent of those deals for years to come, yet when it came to dealing with a legitimate crisis; the Gulf oil spill, this administration was caught flat footed and didn’t know how to respond.

While the Gulf crisis continues to pollute the immediate area, the international scene has been building to a fever pitch;

North and South Korea is a spark away from going to war again. Israel has been set up. A convoy of Arab transport ships is challenging the blockade. Iran is spewing out threats while continuing to develop nuclear weaponry. China is mocking the USA and solidifying alliances to our detriment. Illegal immigration flow, across the Southern boarder, continues unabated. The US economy is in shambles.

While President Obama is the figurehead or representative for the inept and ideological thrust of this administration, he is still only the figurehead. The real issue here is a generation of people who believe in the ideology put fourth by this President. Many believe that redistribution and Socialist concepts are the way to transform America into some kind of utopian image. If Obama were to step down tomorrow, another figurehead would appear to take his place if the current crop of voting public has its way.

One has to ponder how it will get worse. Will there be another 911 attack? Will our international friends abandon the USA completely due to the rude and high-handed treatment they have received at the hands of this President? What will be the next shoe to drop?

Only since the beginning when his first response was to send a team of attorneys to the gulf.

Great thread and all so true.

In the Gulf Spill debacle the Dear Leader of the Regime is perfectly willing to sacrifice all the animals people and aquatic resources of Louisiana for the chance of just a little political gain against one of his evil foes Bobby Jindal who is not afraid to stand up for America and his state Louisiana.

"How much attention do you think an individual, in need of medical attention, will get from government officials charged with distributing health care?"

I'd say that pretty much depends on Party affiliation.

The slow response to the oil spill is by design.

BP, feds could make millions from runaway well's oil

Top PR firm for BP tied to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel

Bombshell expose'. The real reason the oil still flows into the Gulf of Mexico.

There is no question it will get worse. It will. We are already at war and that war is the administration against the people.

I believe it is clear that the Obama administration has committed libelous neglect. They have done “jack squat” in terms of protecting the Gulf Coast shores. Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida should sue Barak Obama and Rahm Emmanuel personally for damages.

Those two, under the doctrine of “never let a crisis go to waste”, have purposely neglected to take normal steps to protect the coast in order to pursue their “cap and trade” legislation. And the people of the Gulf States have been damaged by their neglect.

Obama and Emmanuel should be held libel for the damage they have done in neglecting to perform their duties, and for preventing others from doing the same. Once filed, the states attorney’s general can use discovery to reveal the evidence of what is obvious here.

Obama and Emmanuel wanted this damage for their own agenda and they should pay.

Obozo’s Pattern of Takeover: GM and Chrysler bailed out went bankrupt. Court battle for some car dealers to remain in business - a year later it is granted, very quietly reported.

BP will be takeover by Obozo, forced into bankruptcy. the Gulf Oil spill will never end, Louisana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, will face serious economic decline as the iol spill spreads.

Obozo declares national emergency 2010 elections are suspended. America becomes a socialist state. Obozo becomes a dictator, elderly, disabled and children are sent to reeducation concentration camps - mass killings ensue. That is the Glenn Beck scenario

What I would like to know is who turned down the help from 17 other nations?

Including Saudi Arabia, who had developed giant skimmers for supertankers because of their Gulf oil spill problems ....

Compare this to Katrina when the amount of resources flowing in to alleviate the problem was unpresidented in the history of the world. That was done in about 90 hours.
