Obama's Remarks To Nation On Oil Spill [Full Text]

NPR ^ | Tuesday, June 15, 2010 | President Obama

[Star Traveler]

You were saying ...

The share holders can’t pay the clean up.

Sure the shareholders will pay... to the extent that they own stock and how long they stay in the company before bailing out (and selling their shares) ... the shareholders are already "paying" now ... as it is. There'll be more to pay -- but -- as I said, that's one of the risks of owning a share of a company -- especially one that is acting like a criminal organization ...

BUT, I'm sure that the CEO of BP is correct in that they have BILLIONS to spare. I'm quite sure they do. However, after this is all over, they sure won't ...

[Quix]

THX THX.

[The Theophilus]

This is not an "off-the-wall" proposition, but fits very well in Biblical theology...

If it fits "very well" in Biblical theology, then it should be fairly easy to identify in Scripture rather than relying on Hal Lindsey, Edgar Whisenant, Harold Camping or this "White House Correspondent".

(Wasn't Helen Thomas a "White House Correspondent"? I mean, given those kinds of standards, am I supposed to be impressed ?)

[Optimist]

“pure unadulterated BS!”

No, pure unadulterated BO! ... something stinks

[plain talk]

And that's part of the reason oil companies are drilling a mile beneath the surface of the ocean — because we're running out of places to drill on land and in shallow water.

California? Florida? Alaska? No the reason they are drilling so deep is because of the leftists like Obama. In other words Obama and his ilk indirectly caused this disaster.

[UnChained]

“the account must and will be administered by an independent, third party”

Who will the independent third party be? Acorn?

[counterpunch]

Already, this oil spill is the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced.

False.
Axelrod needs to check his facts better before putting words on 0bama's TelePrompTer.

Eye to Eye: Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel

Product Description

What do these major record-setting events have in common?

• The ten costliest insurance events in U.S. history
• The twelve costliest hurricanes in U.S. history
• Three of the four largest tornado outbreaks in U.S. history
• The two largest terrorism events in U.S. history

All of these major catastrophes and many others occurred or began on the very same day or within 24-hours of U.S. presidents Bush, Clinton and Bush applying pressure on Israel to trade her land for promises of "peace and security," sponsoring major "land for peace" meetings, making major public statements pertaining to Israel’s covenant land and/or calling for a Palestinian state.

Are each one of these major record-setting events just a coincidence or awe-inspiring signs that God is actively involved in the affairs of Israel?

In this book, Bill Koenig provides undeniable facts and conclusive evidence showing that indeed the leaders of the United States and the world are on a collision course with God over Israel’s covenant land.

"And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem" (Zechariah 12:9)

As America Has Done to Israel

Product Description

God s everlasting promise to bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel is still in effect today. Throughout its history, America has been in a unique position to bless the Jewish people, and has experienced many blessings as a result. In more recent years, however, America has failed to consistently stand by Israel and suffered dramatic disasters.

In this interesting and thorough book, McTernan traces the history of the Jewish people in America and how America s spectacular rise to power was tied to blessing the Jews. He examines America s integral role in fulfilling God s plan for the rebirth of the Jewish nation, and details the times when our nation defaulted on this call. Through a step-by-step analysis of political events, McTernan gives conclusive proof that God s judgment on those who curse Israel is still active. In every case where America has failed Israel, it has faced dramatic consequences within 24 hours.

"This nation has known hard times before and we will surely know them again. "

Well, yeah. If you have your way, Obunghole

He's an asshole.

[historyrepeatz]

I didn’t know BP was drilling so far out and so far down because there’s NO OIL LEFT ANYWHERE ELSE as Obama had stated.. Oh my God!!! I thought BP was forced far out because the environmentalists block oil drilling almost everywhere else. Wow, Obama has truly enlightened me! /SARCASM.

[redhead]

" think they’re running from 2 to 4 Valdez-sized spills each and every week ... depending on who you take as telling the truth on the amount of oil gushing out ... yeeeooow!"

I lived in Valdez for 18 years. Hubby was working there during the oil spill cleanup. After this, I never want to hear another WORD about the Exxon Valdez unless it is compared to this monstrosity. Words fail me...

[KC_for_Freedom]

What you say is sad but very true. While he is invincible, we must move to take away his legislative and court appointment power in the next election. With his wings clipped, perhaps we can survive until his term expires.

Let us never forget how important it is to run a good candidate.

[historyrepeatz]

We went to the moon after losing many rockets and many lives.. We went to the moon and we’ll be able to make it through this oil spill disaster.. Obama’s answer is.. An oil rig has exploded so we must STOP ALL DRILLING NOW!. If he’d reacted this way early in the Apollo program, we’d never landed on the moon. What a moron he is.

[boatbums]

One place we have already begun to take action is at the agency in charge of regulating drilling and issuing permits, known as the Minerals Management Service. Over the last decade, this agency has become emblematic of a failed philosophy that views all regulation with hostility — a philosophy that says corporations should be allowed to play by their own rules and police themselves.

He HAD to get his dig in about Bush, didn't he? The last decade would, of course, mean the eight years of George W. Bush and nearly two of HIS VERY OWN! He's had two years to fix what was wrong with MMS, and it was around way before W.

Through the Minerals Revenue Management (MRM) program, the MMS collects, accounts for, and disburses mineral revenues from Federal and American Indian leases. Since its inception in 1982, MMS has disbursed approximately $200 billion to Federal, state, and American Indian accounts. It is one of the largest revenue sources to the federal government after the IRS.

"Obama’s Shame-Wow address."

Laughed right out loud!

[Candor7]

#1 The US has no criminal jurisdiction if the rig is further than 20 miles off shore, except via Law of the Sea treaties, and Corporate licensing inside the USA itself.Yet it sent a para military Swat team.

#2 Why send a Swat team rather than Coast Guard rescue?

This whole situation stinks of double deals, and absolute foolishness. This well could have been sealed within 2 weeks if BP was willing to lose the well.They were given a chance to "recover the well", and played right into Obama's "nationalize the oil companies" plan.Fact: Obama could care less about the environment. He just wanted an anchor issue to nationalize oil corporations using the EPA.

We know how Barry Soetoro works. Get ready for a few months of , " The dirty rotten Oil companies." "The dirty rotten" oil company image was created by Barry Soetoro, for your consumption, and he ruined miles of coastline to get his way in nationalizing oil companies. Its the Alinsky way, no crisis will go unexploited.This oil incident may even have been created, just like the pre election financial crisis was created on Sept 17th 2008 by a 500 billion electronic bank run on the fed. We still don't know the names of the foreign banks that did that. WHY?

And lets see now, thats after the dirty rotten banks, dirty rotten wall street, dirty rotten drug companies, dirty rotten Health Insurance Companies, dirty rotten auto companies , dirty rotten Huteree Militia ( all out on bail BTW)and the dirty rotten Israelis.Only the Israelis will not be nationalized, but Barry is working on using the Iranian Red Crescent to violate the sovereignty of their country.

And you don't see a pattern here? Its laughable.You are either the most gullible person on FR, or a closet OBOT.

Barry Sotoero is the biggest treasonous schill we have ever had to contend with. He should be frog marched into the nearest federal pen, after being charged with sedition,criminal fraud and treason.

[boatbums]

I thought BP was forced far out because the environmentalists block oil drilling almost everywhere else.

And just think, if drilling had been allowed in the Arctic - a VERY small part - and a well exploded like this, how hard would it have been to fix, clean up and yet only impact, maybe, a few polar bears? The Enviro-whackos ARE partly to blame here. Accidents happen, wouldn't it have been far less damaging than the millions of barrels being spewed into the Gulf of Mexico as we speak, every day??? Even Saddam's' setting the oil rigs on fire in Kuwait did not cause this much damage.

[katiedidit1]

you can tell I am “green” on this topic. No pun intended but how much will this cost? do they know or can they estimate?

[LomanBill]

[Didn’t BP give more money to our CIC than any other candidate?]

Evidently that was when they were still a “green” company and the Deepwater fan hadn’t blown... you know... all over them.

[LomanBill]

NEVER AGAIN!
Pedigreed McPoodles need not apply!
