Way to show real leadership, Barry. Can we form any more committees or appoint any more csars? The Dutch still have those oil skimmers available, think maybe it’s time to take them up on it?
Even your pals at MSNBC were ripping you last night, so you know you’ve hit rock bottom.
Unfortunately I think the “horse is out of the gate” – this action should have taken place 50+ days ago, not sure if anything could have been done but the message w/have had perhaps more impact. Wanting to kick some “a” was really inappropriate to say even tho’ many of us feel that way.
Nearly two months into this crisis and our president wants to get serious about it? He’s sending a weak message at best. He should have been concerned about this from the beginning and should have put major emphasis in getting this thing fixed. Instead he talked about criminal charges and whatnot. And people thought Bush was slow when it came to Katrina, give me a break!
Lets see, new bankruptcy laws for GM…
Mandatory purchasing of health insurance.
Obama, why dont you just go ahead and listen to your blow hard left wing friends and sieze BP,…LOL…
This President did what any President in the last 50 years would have done. He trusted what BP said in the early stages and we all got the shaft. He let big business run the show and WE lost. The people who railed against big governement are now the key proponents in this fiasco. Nobody, including BP and the Pres knows what they are talking about when it comes to plugging this. This think won’t be plugged until August at the earliest. Cleaning it up is another matter. As we mobilized the country to rapidly build hardware in WWII, so must we mobilize to build ships/skimmers that can clean this up. The Saudi Arabia has a high degree of experience and expertise in clean-up. Have they been contacted? Lord knows they owe us a few favors. We just keep running into each other and pointing fingers….
Are you kidding? Obama gets lambasted before he even opens his mouth. If he takes action – he’s critized. If he doesn’t take action – he’s critized. Like any president before, and probably after, he’s a target for critics.
but nearly two months, come on. The problem is this isn’t part of his agenda, this in an interruption. I thought about skimmers when this first happened and I’m no engineer and apparently the technology is available. This administration full of “geniuses” can’t think any better, couldn’t put useful resources and suggestions out there?
There should be no argument here… BP is most to blame for this accident. They failed at planning for the worse case scenerio.
Next to blame would be the President. Yes, he did not cause the spill, but he has the most power to control the situation now. He also failed to act in a timely manner. Even if his efforts failed he still would have been given credit for trying if he acted sooner.
Next to blame our ourselves. Our dependence on oil is what caused the drilling in the first place. You left wingnuts can complain all day about big business and big oil, but you are still driving your Escalades to work everyday.
Before you blame the oil companies, blame your selves. Before you blame Obama, blame BP. Before you blame Bush/Republicans, blame Obama.
I’ve not heard much in the way of lambasting Obama or the liberal left, except on Fox News, which by the way is right most of the time. The liberal media does not criticize him nearly as much as they did Bush.
That’s why they should be working with the geniuses in Saudi Arabia about this stuff. They know how to clean up messes like this. They have ample experience.
You forgot to blame the needless deregulation of the oil industry that occured under the prior administration. Remember Cheney’s secret meeting with oil company executives? Remember Bush’s cronies and prior life as an oil company executive? That is a bid deal here and should be either number 1 or 2 in your post.
I just thought Bush was slow, period. Comparing this oil spill and Katrina is at least 50% ridiculous and is an activity best left for 24-hr news networks and fat white guys who yell into a microphone for a living.
Again, first blame yourselves, then the oil companies…
Then you can blame whoever else you want to.
Although in my opinion you can only blame Bush up to a certain point for things that happened years ago. It has gotten to the point where it just sounds dumb to blame past actions.
It would be easy for me to say something like… the financial collapse was due to the democratic party when they forced banks to provide sub prime mortgages (which is the truth). But what would that get me… nothing. Obama and his Congress have the power now to provide “change we can believe in.” So far he has failed… epically.
I agree there should be a balance between regulation/gov’t interference and freedom/lack of gov’t interference, but we have yet to see that balance from the right or the left.
Bush was too deregulation and Obama is too much regulation. Are there any candidates out there who are balanced?
If so, please run for office soon and change the NORM.
We are supposed to be the greatest country on earth. So please tell me why we always look inept when we are hit with catastrophes? Between Katrina and the Oil Spill crisis we look sad! Having a news conference 55 plus days after an event like this is unacceptable, we should be down there helping from the get go!
Deregulation did not make this oil spill. It could have been engineered correctly or maybe incorrectly. Maybe some day we’ll know. Under heavy gov’t control, what works really well to the point of no problems? What has changed in the last year and a half that makes this a better place to live?
So lets see are you talking about Chris Mathews getting a thrill up his leg?
When you argue with a liberal you only get an childish emotional outburst of factless ridicule and nothing of substance. (He’s stupid, or He’s fat) Give me a break. Progressives are not very progressive when it comes to an argument.
Who should we get? Army Corp of Engineers? Hmm. They built and kept the levees. Nope, that won’t work. That leaves NASA, a tempting cache of expertise, albeit not in the earth sciences. Oops — we downsized them; the President has declared that a privatized space transit it our future. I commend you all to re-view the Do Long Bridge scene from “Apocalypse Now”.
Not a Tea Partier at all (can’t stand Palin), and don’t blame Obama for “causing” the spill. I’m upset about his lack of leadership: the fact that it’s taken him almost 60 days to meet with BP, rejecting aid from the Dutch, not getting the Corps of Engineers on this, not allowing the burn-off at first, on and on and on. It has nothing to do with “Government Interference.” These are our territorial waters; BP doesn’t own them.
Even those who voted for him have to be at least a LITTLE disappointed.
While the pin headed right utilize the Nietshean strategy of resentimentation: taking their faults and accusing their opponents of perpretating them: O’Reilly’s no spin zone, and the right’s general practice of putting up an argument of childish emotional outburst of factless ridicule and nothing of substance. (He’s a commie, or He’s hates our freedoms), while dismissing any truth and distorting any facts

Wow, new words! resentimentation, perpretating, Nietshean. I can expand my volcabulary. Thanks Glen Beck! Oops, guess not, these words are not in the dictionary. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche would be disappointed. Try again to make your post sound sophisticated and intelligent.
Come on everyone. We are all Americans – left wing, right wing, apathetic, black, white, hispanic, asian, smart, dumb, fat, skinny… and so on. We are all in it together.
There is too much division. We need to start fresh. Please vote out all encumbent senators/congress members this November.
Was Glen Beck attempting to be sarcastic? Such a poor attempt.
My point being, people look foolish when they try and use big words and terms in an attempt to make themselves look intelligent and then bungle the spelling.
“First blame yourself”? Spoken like a true fool. The only reason oil is all around is because no other form of energy is as efficent, either in price, or by volume, as oil. It’s not us, so much as nature. And, let us remember, oil is natural. Balls of it wash up onto California shores all the time. They are a part of the ecosystem,
Personally, I don’t blame anyone for an accident. True, there are causes. At the same time, to think BP wanted this to happen is to suspend brain activity. To think they desired to lose revenue – from both the oil from the well being uncaptured, as well as the multi-billion, possibly trillion, dollar cleanup, is to be a short-sighted fool.
The question isn’t whether or not accidents happen. They will, period. It is what is done when the accident occurs. To date, we have discovered the following:
1. BP did not have a well thought out policy to address such an accident. Of course, they will be held financially responsible.
2. Obama and the feds have proven themselves incompetent. Not in stopping the leak, mind you. Rather, in respect to allowing and empowering the states to do their level best to control and stem the damage. Oil collection has been woefully slow, which has the effect of causing billions in further damage that could have been avoided. Not allowing the states to go after clean up solutions immediately show the incompetence of the feds, as well the White House’s fear of being made to look foolish by the governors. Now, Obama just looks foolish on his own.
And, while BP has to pay for its incompetence, who will pay for Obama’s? we the taxpayer, that’s who.
3. Reliance on the feds is a fools errand.
4. Obama cares more about the enviro lobby than he does the inhabitants of the affected states. That’s why, to him, shutting down oil production and immediately talking about lawsuits seems like a GOOD idea. What a moron!
This guy is an idiot, who has proven he has absolutely no business leading a city, much less a country.
– The debt has tripled.
– Healthcare is in the process of being destroyed, purposely.
– This fool used last night’s speech to tell us how, due to BPs oil spill, we all need to pay more in taxes.
– His unions are destroying this country, by attacking every city, county, state, and the federal government. And Obama is their little b!tch.
– The trial bar has been empowered to further destroy our lives, jobs, businesses, hospitals, doctors, and nearly every institution, by this clown.
However, I still believe we are partly to blame for this (and not just because a lot of us voted for bozos in congress and the white house, lol)…
I see people drive down the street to get their mail and then drive back to their house. So instead of getting up off their lazy ars, they spend fuel to go 50 feet. It’s this attitude that has caused such an extreme amount of fuel usage.
Yeah, right now oil is the best form of energy, but I think only because our attitude is the same. We aren’t willing to put the effort into anything else. Oil is easy…
Other than that I believe you are spot on with your response. Oh and no need to use words like “true fool”, it makes you seem arrogant and less credible.
Let us recall the history of the democrat party. The party of…
…the KKK (formerly known as the “terrorist wing of the democrat party”).
…placing KKK Grand Kleagle’s into the highest offices (Robert Byrd – who was voted by leftists into presidential line of siccession).
…Jim Crow.
…Slavery.
…Segregation.
…Segregation of the civil services (Wison).
…Balckballing of blacks from unions.
…Anti-Civil Rights (Republicans voted in higher number, %-wise, for all civil rights legislation in the 60’s).
…worthless union thugs.
…trial lawyer scumbags.
Democrat party simply uses minorities as chattle, much like slaves. They are nothing more than window dressing to buy votes and gain power. All at the expense of said minorities.
My quesion is this: Are you simply historically illiterate, or are you being partisan, facts be damned? Which is it?
The Repbulican party was formed to fight the democrat part’s favored institution of slavery. Now, it seems the Republican party’s main job is to keep Americans from being stuck under the financial slavery the democrat party is out to set upon us all.
One has to truly be a sick person, lacking is historical knowledge, bereft of economics training, and completely oblivious to an understanding of true freedom and the western enlightenment to be a member of the democrat party.
And, as your post demonstrates, you fit that mold perfectly.
OFB – Thanks for the clarification. I agree to a point.
If we really wanted to get off oil, here’s what could be done: Place a $10 billion prize for the first group to effectively come up with an alternative, which can be effectively marketed, distributed within the existing channels, and disposed of cleanly.
Hell, make it $20 bill. That would be the only way. Then, get out of the way and let inginuity and individual freedoms get to work to solve this.
At the same time, I am unaware of any form of energy that does not have even bigger drawbacks than oil, at present. But, to me, that would be worth $20 bill, far more than anything else coming out of Washington DC right now. Congress is the anti-midas. Rather than gold, everything they touch turns to $h!t.
Mike is right on in his assessment. Jon isn’t far off but you have to consider all of the products that are manufactured from petroleum. It’s not just energy and fuel.
Based on the stupidity of some of these comments, I’m sure many of you are Darwinists. Your stupidity proves Darwin was wrong. If he was correct, since you are at the bottom of the “gene pool” you wouldn’t have survived.
This wont work for the same reasons we can’t find a cure for cancer… there’s too much money in research. All of these PhD’s get grant money (our tax $) to research. If they actually found a cure or solution, they would kill their cash cow.
How would YOU know the misspelling was intentional? Perhaps you are Glen Beck and like to post under various names?
Or are you just making an assumption?
Go Mike N, you are right on the money. Check out this partial list of petroleum products. It may shock many to see what all is made from petroleum. Quite an eye opener. We are not just talking gas here. http://www.ranken-energy.com/Products%20from%20Petroleum.htm
When are you running for office? I like your style and honesty. Facts are always good too, so keep up the good thinking.
When Obama states the conservatives need to start working with him or at least bring ideas to the table, that confuses me, because my representative has talked about several ideas brought to the table for all kinds of issues, but he nor the democratic party want anything to do with common sense. Well there might be a couple out there, but far and few between.
Calling a fat white guy “a fat white guy” is not racist.
Way to show real leadership, Barry. Can we form any more committees or appoint any more csars? The Dutch still have those oil skimmers available, think maybe it’s time to take them up on it?
Even your pals at MSNBC were ripping you last night, so you know you’ve hit rock bottom.
Now for a cage fight between the adjusters. My money is on GGG.

Our new King Obama!

The people who railed against big governement are now the key proponents in this fiasco. Nobody, including BP and the Pres knows what they are talking about when it comes to plugging this.

Bush would have been just as or more flat footed than Obama. It’s no comparison.
The main difference is that Bush would have been CRUCIFIED for this. I think Barry’s getting more of a pass for his inaction than he deserves.
“Uhhhhh…What do you want me to do…uhhhh…swim down and plug up the hole myself?”
Hey, couldn’t hurt at this point…
Are you kidding? Obama gets lambasted before he even opens his mouth. If he takes action – he’s critized. If he doesn’t take action – he’s critized. Like any president before, and probably after, he’s a target for critics.

I think the bottom line is, fix the dang leak and then get to the blame game. Obama and his cronies need to wake up and smell the oil.
Again, first blame yourselves, then the oil companies…
Then you can blame whoever else you want to.
Although in my opinion you can only blame Bush up to a certain point for things that happened years ago. It has gotten to the point where it just sounds dumb to blame past actions.

Deregulation was such a great idea. The corporatist right should get all of our thanks. Profit over safety — time and time again.
The country should not be run like a corporation because corporations only care about maximum profitability.
I agree there should be a balance between regulation/gov’t interference and freedom/lack of gov’t interference, but we have yet to see that balance from the right or the left.
Bush was too deregulation and Obama is too much regulation. Are there any candidates out there who are balanced?

youngin’, you are the best.

I am very certain that the saudis have no experience cleaning deep sea oil spills
So lets see are you talking about Chris Mathews getting a thrill up his leg?

Look who’s calling the kettle black!
Actually, Chris Matthews may have peed down his leg last night. He was one of the ones bashing O Chosen One.
You can tell the Tea Party crowd here by the way they try to bully anyone who doesn’t echo their “Obama Bad; He Cause Oil Spill” refrain.
Who should we get? Army Corp of Engineers? Hmm. They built and kept the levees. Nope, that won’t work. That leaves NASA, a tempting cache of expertise, albeit not in the earth sciences.
