Barak Hussein does nothing about oil spill

[CMike]

There is no technology for dealing with this oil spill. BP, not the U.S. government, has the best that there is.

Right now the Federal government has mobilized the Coast Guard to stop the oil spreading as best they can, but the biggest part of the problem is how to stop a leak at the bottom of the ocean floor.

If we had enough Governemnt regulations in place, before this accident happened, it may have been prevented. But after 8 years of Republican rule and 2 years of Republican obstructionism, advancing government regulation is a bit of a task.

If you'd like to put on a scuba suit and go down and plug this leak up, we'd all be greatly thankful.

If you have any ideas on how this leak could be plugged up, we'd all certainly like to hear them.

But otherwise STFU!

Spoken like a true liberal/progressive. If you dissent from the left wing god shut the fuck up.

I don't have the knowlege or the technology to plug a leak, that is something that the federal government can assist in.

The only thing they are doing is "supervising" BP.

How about they do something useful in containing and cleaning up the disaster?

The Federal Governement has already mobilized the Military to contain the spread of the oil.

It appears that you think that the U.S Governement is some God like organization that can do anything if the President just orders them to.

They are not.

The U.S. government does not have the technology to plug up this leak. BP does - or at least they have the best technology for this.

The U.S. government contracts out most high tech work - to companies like BP.

If you think that the U.S. governement should have the technology on hand to deal with this type of disaster, then you should wholeheartedly agree to raising taxes so that the U.S. government can afford to keep this level of technology on hand.

Or you migt agree that the technology for safe offshore drilling just doesn't exist - so we should stop all offshore drilling until the technology does exist.

Link that Obama mobilized the military to contain the leak?

All Napolitono said is that they are "supervising".

I wonder why they didn't say this about Katrina?

After all it's pretty much the same thing.

A disaster that nobody anticipated....except tree-hugger friends of Democrats.

If anything a case of criminal neglect could be made.

Get serious. This has nothing in common with Katrina.

It was very much within the real and constituional powers of the Government to deal with Katrina:

Send the military in to restore law and order, to evacuate the public, to rebuild the dykes and to pump out the flood water. All very much within the power of the Government.

Maybe you just don't know very much about the realities of deep ocean operations, but plugging up a leak on the bottom of the ocean floor is nearly impossible. The technology just doesn't exist.

Supervising BP is about the only thing that the government can do.

The Navy may have some deep water submarines, but they're designed for completely different types of operations...like planting submarine detection devices.

The best that the Givernement can do is to cintract companies like BP that specialize in this type of stuff.

Do we know what caused this?

It has similar characteristics of Katrina and the sales job the media pulled on us.

The fact is in the case of Katrina the military couldn't do much at first...but Bush caught hell just the same. The disaster was much worse and Bush was given no slack whatsoever.

Everyone who lived in New Orleans was a victim but for some reason they were able to make Bush look like a racist because of it.

The main similarity is that nether Obama nor Bush are responsible for ether.

The main difference is where Bush was given the shaft Obama isn't.

Nonsense. The U.S. military had all the equipment and training to deal with the aftermath of Katrina. There where military units staged and waiting for the orders to go in. Bush didn't have a clue what to do...or more likely, doing anything at all was against his political philosophy.

Folks must be very ignorant to believe there is ANYTHING government can do to stop an oil leak.
The fault lays solely with the oil companies.
Rush Limbaugh and other clowns are on claiming Obama will not "release" any equipment to clean up the spill. Well news flash to the dumbass fools that are stupid as bat shit: The weather in the gulf was sorough most of this week the boats could not get into the areas of the spill and that decision was from THE FRIGGIN OIL COMPANIES that own or lease the equipment.
I spent all of last week in Florida and the weather was 35 mph winds most of the week.
Blaming Obama or the administration for any of this is what fools do.
No one here with any sense believes any of that. ALL of this is the fault of the oil companies.
And the environmentalists warned you right wing kooks. You wouldn't listen. You wanted to drill more with your looney tune Sarah Palin with LESS regulation.
Look where it has us. They were right.

I'm confused....you say the military was staged and ready got go in....and yet you say Bush was incompetent.

That doesn't make sense.

The only reason Bush didn't go in sooner is because of that God Damned Governor.

He couldn't legally go in without her permission.

That would have been an impeachable offense.

Why is it whenever Rush sticks his foot in his ass, his faithful worshippers come out with "Rush was kidding"? Remember when Rush sided with the Somali pirates?

Oil slick poses political peril for Obama - Washington Times

"BP is the responding party," said Mrs. Napolitano. "We are overseeing them. We're working very closely with all of the state and local partners."


I have a great idea, how about the Obama Admin, get off their butts, and respond too, instead of just "overseeing" BP?

Where in the Constitution does President Obama have the authority to clean up the mess of a private corportation?
You RW Fringers define hypocrisy.

LOL

What a tool

You give Obama and Biden a HealthCare Proxy for your entire family but you can't find where the Federal government can respond to the biggest environmental disaster in history.

Obama's a one-termer and you should seriously think about starting a new country with him as your Fuhrer

Does this mean you are not going to point out in our Constitution where it states that it is the Federal Government's job to clean up an oil spill caused by a private corporation???? Isn't this the argument you used to fight healthcare reform? Sounds like you are interpreting the Constitution to me....

Drill Baby drill has been aborted, rightwing hysteria runs rampant.

Yup...let's let China do it off our coast instead.

The only political consequence of this catastrophe is that people are realizing the the environmentalist have been 100% correct.

Yes, Obama made a major mistake by agreeing to allow more offshore drilling - but that was only done as a compromise to the Republicans.

The only way Obama's gonna lose the next election is if he runs against someone who's far to the left of himself!

The President agreed to more drilling with significant caveats, whose wisdom this disaster is proving.

Actually he said more exploration...not more drilling.

This rig that is currently dumping 500,000 gallons of crude into the Gulf daily was an exploratory well.

Wingnuts are trying to spin this as "Obama's Katrina". It ain't working.


For that they get another....
