>> I bet Obama made the volcano erupt too...or was that Bush...or Clinton???

It’s about the response.

>> Everything happens as God wants it to...otherwise, things would be different

So, if things are different there is no omnipotent God?

As I said here on FR on 11/4/08 - all things changed on that date - nothing is the to be the same again. Obama may not want to “manage” the affairs of state, but he fully intends to plunder her resources for his much larger agenda.

This isn’t an act of God but a man made disaster happening in federal waters. He should have acted a week ago when they knew that there was a massive leak.

The liberals said that Obama’s response to Haiti would show the world that he really knew how to respond to a disaster, unlike Bush.

Gee... haven’t heard much about Haiti in the news, lately.

So you know that nothing was done or put into action? Is an accident an act of God or man-made?

I don’t think I could pull it off. I want to puke every time I hear his voice, see his face and read his shills talking points. I think the loons don’t do it for money. They are still that brainwashed.

All they’ll do to 0bama is cover for him. Yep, they're leading their stories with "quick response by the obama administration".

An accident based on human error is man made. A Cat 5 hurricane on the other hand is an act of God.

As far as actions being put into place, from the press conference by Gov. Jindal day before yesterday, it appears that not much had been done based on the tone and level of frustration.

I also have Sen. Vitter on my facebook and he has posted several times a day on what is going on. Not much has been done by the feds until this started making headlines yesterday.

I checked on Sen. Mary “whore of the Senate” Landrieu’s page and not a thing has been posted since her “healthcare victory”.

Since this is in federal waters and is an ongoing “accident” it would be nice for once if they did their job and responded likewise before the major, possibly irreparable, damage is done. But nope, the “spill baby spill” trolls are out spouting the “Big Oil is evil” line so that the proles can be whipped up into “no more drilling” frenzy.

Rush is right...

When the Katrina mess hit, someone posted here a link to the Washington Post.

In it was a little known article. An un-named aid to the Governor noted the Bush Admin was begging her to declare a state of emergency (to avoid the whole posse comitatus mess days before the storm hit the shore.

But the aid said they where worried how it would look, a female Democrat Governor esentially rolling over for that big bad George Bush, and reliquishing power.

Combine that with Nagin and you spell epic fail.

At least Bush tried and was hamstrung by the Constitution and freaking idiots.

The Idiot this time is Obama, plain and simple.....

It would have helped if BP had been a hell of a lot more honest about how bad the problem was from the beginning. They deserve every bill they’re going to get from the Feds and everyone else.

I don’t disagree with them paying for this mess however, there are assets the feds have that are more equipped for the job than anything on the commercial market. This is an ongoing event in federal waters so the feds have the jurisdiction to act first not wait until it is too late to prevent catastrophic damage all to get an agenda through.

He had no problem sending SWAT teams to all the other rigs days ago.

And the Coast Guard was in there the day after the fire was first reported. Maybe if BP had admitted last weekend that they couldn’t get the leak under control, and just how bad it actually was, we could have used all those Fed resources to keep the oil from hitting the shore.

But noooooo. ... BP wouldn’t even admit until THURSDAY that it was 5,000 barrels a day, even tho the Feds had asked them about the estimates the day before.

If the Feds had acted first, and there had turned out not to be a problem, everyone would be angry at them for acting tyrannically with a foreign energy company.

I am glad that FINALLY we are learning the Truth.
