Obama Supporter Leaves Him
Comment on a story about the Gulf Oil Leak | 5-8-10 | unknown

Posted on 05/09/2010 9:51:33 PM PDT by jonboy

I gave a donation to the Sierra Club a few days ago. My heart is broken as it is ALREADY too late. The damage is done and can only get worse if they cannot cap this horrendous leak. I am placing the blame not only on BP but on an administration I supported through thick and thin. I was willing to overlook the many many disappointments the Democratic base has been handed so willingly by this administration, to us the ones who loved him. My heart is sick as to the damage NOT ONLY to our gorgeous ecosystem but to the thousands in the seafood, fishing, tourist and many more industries this WILL kill.

Worse, the rig used evidently was a NO BID..yes let me say that again a NO BID contract with Halliburton?? Is what I am reading true? The buck for the policy though STOPS at our president's desk as yet again, yet one more time, yet SO many times now he has said one thing but does another. From the Wall Street fraudulent unregulated Goldman Sachs putrid mess to the putrid mess of BP in Louisiana. It's ALWAYS follow the money but in this one administration I THOUGHT maybe that would NOT be the case. How wrong was I? VERY!

I said to the Sierra Club secretary you watch this so called 3 ton fix to the leak AIN'T gonna work! Am I correct? I HOPE not. I WANT to be consummately wrong! Mr. President what have you done, sir? What have you done?

this poor sucker’s heart may be in the right place but giving money to the sierra club is a waste of time. The sierra club is just another leftist poilitical lobbiest organization that supports the obamanist status quo, carbon credits, public land closures, political appointments etc, the sierra club actually does nothing to help the environment......pretty pitiful

This leftdolt really is an idiot. Complete moron. For example, “no bid” refers to government contracts. This was a private concern.

Sure, some disillusionment of the obamanation is a good thing. But on this delusional basis, it’s not truly meaningful...

Halliburton did not construct the rig. Transocean owned and operated the rig and leased it to BP. Halliburton was a contractor who poured some of the concrete. The government had no say in whether it was a No Bid contract.

The Bush admin fined BP in 2007 for safety issues associated with their deep water rigs, the Obama admin gave BP safety awards in 2009. BP donated the most money to Obama over a 20 year period and the Obama admin gave BP exemptions from doing impact studies. Once the spill occurred, the Obama admin relied on BP for info about the severity of the spill and did not immediately deploy the appropriate burn strategy resulting in a much larger disaster. Days after the spill, the Obama admin approved two BP projects with the same exemption.

This info needs to get out there. The hard core Left will have no choice but to abandon Obama.

This guy is a perfect example of why Communists/Marxists get rid of the “true-believers” once they seize total power. After the “revolution” they become dis-enchanted and realize they’ve been had.

By the time they realize they've been had, it's too late.

Our anonymous lib-loon sounds like they watch too much of that unbelievable garbage on far-left-loon TV called Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman.

Today I was in conversation with someone, a very nice person. She really liked Obama.

I tried so hard to convince her before the election that he was not the “nice man” she thought, and that his “change” was not a good one.

Today I asked her did she still like him, and the answer was, “Oh no, he’s terrible! Who knew this was the change he was talking about?” Of course I couldn’t resist saying “I did, and I tried to tell you!”

People are waking up.

This guy (if he is real.. and even if he isn’t) is a textbook case of what makes a leftist. In the leftist worldview there are two kinds of people- victims and oppressors. Every politically motivated thing a leftist does - from donating money to some group to voting for a candidate, is aimed at getting back at some (imaginary) oppressor. Leftist politicians and “non profit” groups understand this well and try to keep their base emotionally roiled.

True! However, they have long done business IN the US, not just drilling and taking it all somewhere else. So I consider them closer to the US than a Chinese or Russian Co.

Could be I am wrong. That happens once or twice a decade.
