I saw it another work of art, very well done.
We almost had no ocean last week but the regulators at NOAA changed their feeble minds at the last minute.
What does NOAA stand for anyway?
NO something. No aptitude ... no ???
Thanks for the link. Long, but a very good article. I hope a number of Republican candidates will read and learn from it.
Liz Cheney deserves a Medal for agreeing to participate with such a panel. She must have ice and steel in her body. She is powerful, and does not give an inch.
I have contempt for A. Huffington. When she started blaming the Gulf problems on Bush/Cheney/Halliburton, Liz called her out and then said, “I heard that even the Tipper and Al Gore break-up has been blamed on Bush.”
No one even snickered (at least that I could hear on the cspam radio broadcast.)
Will Obamaman, the Destroyer, have anything to say in remembrance of D-Day. He, supposedly, was born in Hawaii. Did he say anything about the Day of Infamy?
Getting a solid 4 hour day out of him
___________________
4 hours? Has he ever worked a solid 4 hours? I doubt it. He is in love with AF1. That’s his new toy. He uses it almost every day. They might as well shut down the oval office, he’s never in it.
BP is one of the largest multinationals that exist.
_____________
I agree, BP will be fine when this is all over. The Kenyan, Marxist usurper will be nothing but a bad memory in 2012.
Huffington called the BP leak a poster child for Bush-Cheney deregulation. Would someone please tell me what laws Bush repealed or what regulations he changed? This deregulation myth is what the Demonrats always drag out to explain away their failures. I am really getting tired of waiting for a MSM type to challenge them on it.
Meanwhile over on FNC Juan saved the day again with his penchant for comedic relief.
He stammered and stuttered his way to admitting that in a crisis ozero is completely lost.
Bill Crystal was so shocked that a democrat, any democrat would actually tell the truth about the dear leader he really didn't know what to say and was just savoring the moment.
All in all it was priceless. And the Barney Fife moment just added to the show.
Colorado Democrat Governor Bill Ritter, along with a Democrat state legislature, with the help of Democrat Interior Secretary, Ken Salazar, and supported by a Democrat staffed Colorado Oil & Gas Commission have mostly shut down oil and gas exploration in Colorado. Thousands of jobs have been lost and workers unemployed.
At the same time these idiots mandated that Excel Energy increase the power from the cost-ineffective wind farms currently in place and expansion of so-called “green energy” efforts to a level that is impossible to meet.
The bottom line is nothing is going to change until state and federal government is changed to conservative Republicans and away from Democrats, progressives, RINO’s and any liberal who worships mother earth gia over anything else.
Pat, I didn’t see any of the shows today but I agree about Dana P. A lovely gal, classy and smart, but she is not out there fighting for our side like some of the other lady Repubs. The other night on Hannity she defended Barry & Co. on the oil disaster while Stuart Varney, a Brit, blasted them. She always plays the nice, diplomatic pundit and, well, we know where that gets us.
I fault Bush for numerous things but not this.
Bush did make some regulatory changes. For example, he made the Energy Department accept upgrades to nuclear plants and NOT make the whole plant spend money making it meet the Clinton restrictions on upgrades. Bush helped make the Interior Department approve more O&G leases faster and approved more off-shore drilling. He further refused to repeal tax breaks that support exploration for oil companies and not punish them for expenses on a well that did not produce, allowing the tax write off.
Remember too, Bush did not have a solid Republican congress for 8 years. The first two were split with Republicans giving into Democrats for power sharing and then there were defections that gave the Democrats a majority. Followed by the Democrats taking over the congress in 2006. Add in the various RINO’s who sided with the dumb-a$$ed enviro whackos and Bush could never accomplish as much as we would have liked. We can also add a media/press that unfairly and constantly linked Bush and Cheney to the O&G industry, plus the war effort in Iraq and Afghanistan, and my sense is Bush did what he could.
(Victor Davis Hanson now on C-Span II--he's great)
Will Obamaman, the Destroyer, have anything to say in remembrance of D-Day. He, supposedly, was born in Hawaii. Did he say anything about the Day of Infamy?
I don't watch much TV so I can't say for sure. That said, I expect some low-level administration staffer will issue a perfunctory boilerplate statement "in the President's name" and "for the record" acknowledging D-Day, just in case they get called on it. However, I doubt that Obama himself will do anything which requires his personal involvement.
As far as Dec. 7, 1942, I don't remember anything from him, although I suspect he had some staff flunky cover his PR butt on that as well.
It should be obvious to everyone by now that Obama has absolutely no respect for our military and their history of patriotic sacrifice. Even more, he has supreme contempt for the history, traditions, ideals and foundational principles of not only America, but also of our nation's friends and allies. The way he treated the UK and the Queen, e.g., was appalling.
If there is such a character trait or concept as "malignant incompetence", Obama personifies it perfectly.
0bambi now at -18 on Rasmussen (Sunday June 6th)
apply my new tag line and enjoy...
Uh—December 7, 1941....
As I suspected, nothing Bush did led to this disaster. One Dem makes a statement, a second Dem swears to it and the MSM report it as Gospel evermore. They also trot out this deregulation garbage whenever they discuss the economy, fiscal policy and Wall Street.
I sure hope you are right.
If Obama was hoping to take advantage of this crisis, he may have bitten off more than he can chew. I agree that BP, before this oil spill, was in a better position than GM or Chrysler. After all the oil spill, I am not so sure.
But I am hopeful that the oil and energy sectors will remain independent.
