Hope this is mitigated quickly with minimal damage.
Oil well leak like that... last time this happened was 40 years ago. Sounds like a pretty good safety record.
Predictable. Drudge is headlining the "new Katrina" angle, but the media won't touch that with a ten-foot pole. After all, Bush is no longer President.
Instead, Obama and his kooky energy czars will just use the crisis Alinsky style as yet another way to shut down exploration and drilling. After all, he owes his buddies in the Middle East some higher oil prices.
I propose a moratorium on new legislation pending an investigation into the disaster that is health care reform.
Rush said the same thing yesterday but I can't find anything. Is sabotage suspected?
Sadly, not true.

In terms of deaths, this event doesn't make the top 20.
This is Obama’s Katrina.
BTTT!!!!
No investigation of the failure has been completed yet, and will take a while to do so. Be wary of what the press leads people to believe.
Reading posts on other threads that this was done deliberately to drive oil prices up are nonsense.
He probably meant teams of inspectors not realizing that SWAT is an acronym for Special Weapons And Tactics.
“They’ll never find out how we made the coal mine and oil rig disasters. Once we stop all energy production in the US Cap & Trade is a shoe-in. Hey Rahm, make sure those union workers get paid for those wack jobs. Then it’s trillions and CCX”
Isn’t this like that Bruce Willis movie where it APPEARED terrorists wanted a bunch of demands met when in reality is was a good old fashioned bank robbery.
“Welcome to the party, pal”
Thank you for the link. It is tough to keep up with everything related.
So the President Obama announced SWAT, although it appears to be lacking in the Department of Interiors announcement. I haven’t read a transcript of their briefing but I have read their announcements.
Thanks again
Well excuse me... 3 as opposed to 2 ... Still looks like a PRETTY DAMNED GOOD as far as safety goes.
If anything, they will pin it on Jindal.
>> but the media won’t touch that with a ten-foot pole. After all, Bush is no longer President.
It’s about establishing the historical tone - the association of fault and other negative imagery.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the Leftists and Liberals are grateful about the spill - it gives them an excuse not to drill offshore. But despite any glee, the MSM cannot excite the situation to the point people start questioning the “Brownie” factors.
What was I counting... MAJOR SPILLS in American Waters.. with your list, there’s not much MORE than that. So many on that list happened without Spills of any statistical significance... (There ..that PC enough for you)
DRILL BABY DRILL
Good thing they have everything under control. sarc/
