"if you're asking me to volunteer to wade into toxic waste with no protection.."
Hello,
I don't think I ever advocated not wearing protection. I'm a priss. I wear long sleeves in the desert so that the sun doesn't touch my delicate alabaster skin. ;-)
I'm fair sure the Feds have many truckloads of chem suits somewhere. Portable decon stations, too. You know, in case of a chemical weapons attack.
Good time to break them out.

At least BP can explain what is going on.
Obama sure as hell has no clue.

Has BP explained to you how their "safe" plans all went to hell so quickly? I mean, you seem to think they have such a firm grip on things.
Tell us all again why more than a month later, they still haven't made any progress in capping their well that they fucked up so badly.
Oh, and congratulations on not going all "anti-Obama" or anything.

Did you see the video , Kwickie?
Why the hell am I even asking ? Of course you didn't.
If you did, you'd notice the small fleet of specialized vessels situated around the well. Takes time to move that sort of equipment, come up with a plan, clear the area of debris enough to be able to work down there.....
I'm impressed with the daunting task they're faced with, make no mistake.
Haven't made any progress ? I was under the impression they HAD made pretty good progress on capping the well. At least, as of 2 hrs ago. Though some of the latest news isn't too great.

BP oil spill update: Smooth sailing for 'top kill,' MMS director ousted
Even after the leaking well is permanently sealed, the Deepwater Horizon drama won't be anywhere near over. Just in Thursday's BP oil spill update, the MMS director is out, the spill is resized, and hearings proliferate on Capitol Hill.
And did you SEE / HEAR the presser by Obama ?
His failure to act, the Federal Govt's failure is beyond incomprehensible.

So impressed with the way it's going that you accuse the federal government of having done abolutely NOTHING at all. Despite the fact that they responded in well under 24 hours, they did everything they could to put out the fire and search for survivors, they did everything they could to organize ALL the help they could find in the way of those specialized vessels situated around the well, they've asked BP time and time again what they needed in the way of help.
And you sit here trying to score a few cheap political points by claiming - wrongly, as you always are - that the Obama administration is doing literally NOTHING. You're so full of shit it's pouring out of your mouth at this point.
Meanwhile, what have YOU done?

You're just about five years too late with that criticism. Thousands died. You cheered.

They've done less than nothing. The coast are barren, empty, void of any activity. Don't believe me ? Ask Bobby Jindal. Ask Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser. Ask James Carville. They're down there. They're knee deep in the oil. You're a liar, and so is Obama. Straight up.
There's nothing you can say, there's no quip you can offer, no evasion you can toss out that'll distract America from what's really going on, right now.

"I'd bet Anthony could bump up his contribution, maybe $50? You can put me down for the $58. That's 3 others at $50. You have to promise to take plenty of videos and put them on youtube though (so Wulf can see what activism is)."
Hello,
I can do $25 tomorrow and $25 in two weeks. A shade better, maybe, if I shop my groceries carefully. I blame the dogs for eating me out of house and home, but don't look too carefully at my gut. ;-)

Why would I want to distract anyone from the containment and cleanup efforts that are being amassed on the Gulf Coast, and have been ongoing since the crappily-maintained and ill-equipped rig exploded because BP, Halliburton, and TransOcean all failed to live up to their responsibilities in the first place?
As always, capitalist corporations utterly failed to do their jobs and live up to their duties with regard to safety and routine maintenance, and as always, the big evil government is going to have to step in to the rescue.
And, as always, you'll piss and moan that the corporations did nothing wrong, and the government can't do anything right. And you'll even cry about it while in the same breath you beg the government to bail your precious companies out yet again.
All the evasion seems to be coming from you.
