Yesterday’s photo op is in the can! It’s Miller Time!
Live cam. Looks like BP has given up for now.
When Obama said “I’m responsible”, he really meant that “I’m going to play golf and I’ll come back to take credit when its fixed.”
Obama doesn’t care because either way he wins. If nothing improves US gas prices are going to increase. Businesses will suffer. It helps him tank the economy faster and cost us more just to run everyday errands and go to work. If it improves he’s out there talking about how’s he’s in charge and directing them to fix it. Press will bend over whatever way they need to.
They should quit foolin’ around, and pump in the Silly Putty!
save for later
It’s going to take many years for the reality of this to come out.
But has Obama given permission to BP for attempting the LMRP action?
.
Obama holds a position that he is totally unqualified for.
I just wish he’d stop proving it.
Toyota is the one place where people are celebrating this oil well disaster
it has certainly taken them out of the news cycle
CNN and MSNBC don’t wanna talk about it anymore....
This is a nightmare. What if they CAN’T stop it? How much oil can spew out of that hole?
Last night on C-Span I saw members of the Coast Guard and some politicians interrogating an engineer from BP. It was embarrassing because the examiners only exposed their total ignorance of the high technology and the dynamics involved in deep sea drilling. I mention this not to exculpate BP from any blame they might have but simply to point out that the interrogators were so without any specialized expertise that they couldn’t even frame intelligent questions. And obviously what the engineer told them was completely beyond their capacity to understand. IMHO, what we need to have is a group of experts with the technological knowledge to objectively find out what really happened so we learn to prevent such a catastrophe in the future - not a bunch of grandstanding people and politicians who don’t know what they’re talking about.
So he truly feels that because it’s BP’s fault, he doesn’t have to get the military involved? There would seem to many people in the world who might have dealt with this before who could have helped. Regardless if it’s BP’s fault, his ‘studying the situation’ as opposed to action is forcing the rest of us to pay the price.
It’s too bad MMS gave Deepwater Horizon all that praise, and especially all those waivers right before the explosion. I bet right about now they are trying to destroy the records, the shredders are buzzing, like busy little bees.
The ones who were supposed to save us with their gigantic lumbering, porn watching, bureaucracy has failed us all again. The 1990 OPA which was designed to “never let this happen again” has failed us once more, and it has happened again. When will we learn.
Just like Katrina and the dikes, just like with Fannie and Freddie and the federal cash gusher for loans that could never be repaid, the saviors have sunk the ship again. Tell me why we believe their siren song.
And now we find the safety regs that should have been enforced, were handed out as waivers for campaign cash. Well maybe we don’t know the last, yet, but give it time.
What suckers we are.
One of these days, we'll probably hear that he's fled and is living in Saudi Arabia...
