WASHINGTON (AP) - Dedicating new urgency to the Gulf oil spill, President Barack Obama accused BP of "recklessness" in the first Oval Office address of his presidency Tuesday and swore not to rest until the company has paid for the damage it has caused to lives, businesses and shorelines. He announced that he had asked former Mississippi Gov. Ray Mabus to develop a long-term Gulf Coast Restoration Plan—to be funded by BP PLC—in concert with local states, communities, fishermen, conservationists and residents "as soon as possible."

The main detail that matters—it’s going to cost us a lot of money to create a lot more bureaucracy & choke the life out of our economy.

Where was this sense of urgency and the need to be on top of this one DAY ONE?! Oh, that’s right. Golf, parties and vacations got in the way.

*sigh*

well besides the 7.00 a gallon gas,I’d expect terrible taxes on coal/gas/oil/,,geesh,,you got to make them pay!,it will be an endless cycle of crises and regulation/taxes,till the gov/unions have total control,,the looming disaster for the scum sucking vermin will be the elections,I wonder what kind of voting machines ol’ chavez is making for us? or will there even be elections? that would take a really big disaster to pull that off.

Mabus? Paging Nostradamus....

Interesting:


Mabus then will soon die, there will come
Of people and beasts a horrible rout:
Then suddenly one will see vengeance,
Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run.
Century II, Quatrain 62

The antichrist very soon annihilates the three,
twenty-seven years his war will last.
The unbelievers are dead, captive, exiled;
with blood, human bodies, water and red hail covering the earth.
Century VIII, Quatrain 77

Naval battle night will be overcome,
Fire in the ships to the West ruin:
New trick, the great ship colored,
Anger to the vanquished, and victory in a drizzle.
Century IX, Quatrain 100

A founder of sects , much trouble for the accuser:
A beast in the theater prepares the scene and plot.
The author ennobled by acts of older times;
the world is confused by schismatic sects.
Century I, Quatrain 45


Just sayin’ Interesting.

Well, I accuse the Obama Administration of negligence. But of course, it has all the solutions.

If you want to know what Federal healthcare will be like, look at the Gulf of Mexico.

Has BP ever done anything but accept responsibility for the cost of the cleanup?

All Barry can do is threaten and bully!

Keep an eye on BP’s stock price tomorrow. That’ll tell you what the insider poop is.

Despite the bluster and rhetoric, I suspect that a deal has been “cut”.

It’s the Chicago way...
