James Cameron will sort it out.

He is an expert in underwater technology...sarc!

If you ever wondered how soviet style journalism can exist in an electronic world then wonder no more.

Conservative Examiner has also learned that the few authorized journalists and photographers that are allowed in the area have been instructed by the Feds not to write anything critical of the Obama Administration's response...

If we're going "back to the USSR" - how long until the secret police take our cameras?

Thanks you effing dems for giving us a police state.

President Tar Ball sucks,

and his response to the oil spill is a joke.

What I would have done if I was president would be to put my desk on the beach. Any SE beach would do, but let’s go with Louisiana’s since it got hit first. I would put my desk right there by the waters edge, along with some other things, not historic of course, from the Oval Office, and I would go to work there every single day. I would then say this is my office, this is the office of the american people. Who will prevent this oil from washing into my office, and how do you intend to do it? Anyone who then offered a reasonable solution would be allowed to submit a proposal, and then I would put them to work, with pay, from BP.

I would not leave that beach until this matter was 100% resolved.

Just more Chicago style politics. If you disagree with Obama, he will micromanage the situation to try to shut you out.

What works in Chicago cannot and will not work on the national level. Cameras are everywhere and the truth will get out.

That said, it is frightening that Obama thinks he can bully Americans until they fall in line.

He's nothing but a thug!

I don’t doubt that the news control/black out is true but some names and quotes would help.

As long as they call it "transparency" then all is good.

It amazes me that they think all they have to do is say something and it becomes reality and the minions from the left take it hook line and sinker.

What I don't understand about this quasi conspiracy is: Don't any journalists, photographers, amateurs, people live in the areas affected? Wouldn't they be able to report on what is or is not happening?

That said I can understand not allowing the hordes (or is it whores) of media to descend upon a fragile environment, especially if they are from a completely different type of ecosystem. Somebody from the middle of the desert would have no clue as to what to do in a marsh.

And please don't think I am trying to justify any actions by the great Zero. I find him totally disgusting and incompetent. I just would like to know if the report is a knee jerk reaction to a reasonable limitation.

I think that we could easily get some video of a private citizen or group being denied access to the region. I’ll find this report much more credible when such a video emerges. I think that James O’Keefe is enjoined from leaving New Jersey at the moment, but I’m sure that some other intrepid truth seeker could fill in.

Isn't that against the law,doesn't the 1st Amendment guarantee freedom of the press.Where does O
Bama get off telling people what they can and cannot report.

[Larousse2]

Wish they'd STFU about the oil spill---let's party!

[humblegunner]

Are you still planning to “expose Free Republic nationally” unless everyone agrees with you?

[gulfcoast6]

BamBam goes to the beach every Friday, like clock work, this last time he got ‘mad and bad’ but has NOT come out with a solution that would stop the flow, except cut all oil drilling out, thousands of jobs here on the coast. Mr. cool is Mr. fool. Blame BP, rightly so, name the solutions, can't. MORE than one company are involved in this spill down here, subcontractors, name em.

Transocean workers argued before blast:

Before rig workers aboard a doomed drilling platform performed a procedure that BP Plc says may have been a “fundamental mistake,” there was a “skirmish” between BP and Transocean staff about whether to proceed, the rig’s chief mechanic told federal investigators on Wednesday.

Gulf Oil Spill

Around 9:53 p.m. CDT on April 20 (0253 GMT on April 21), Swiss-based Transocean Ltd’s Deepwater Horizon rig exploded while it was drilling a well a mile beneath the Gulf of Mexico under contract for London-based BP Plc. Eleven rig workers are presumed dead.

They want a solution? Here's my Solution: Try Hydrogen Barackside.
