You want Obama to take the blame, take the responsibility, FOR BP'S DISASTER. And it's not like you or your buddies would EVER try to run on the sound bite of him taking the blame, right?
What is it that you imagine the government CAN do in this case? What expertise do you expect the federal government to have to cap a well, protect a shoreline from sludge in the water?
And had Obama taken over sooner, Rappy would have been screamin' about communism and squashing free enterprise....

Only Obama hasn't the balls to take on something this big. He's no leader. He's a fucking bureaucratic pussy, and it shows. He'll instead fly, clear across the country, to attend a pep rally for another inept, corrupt politician, just like the ones he wants to keep , back in D.C.
Then he'll take his family ( because that's all that really matters to this coward ) on that "promised " holiday weekend, back home.
No problem, PrezBO. We got this....
This IS Obama's Katrina.....only it's 10,000,000 x's worse !!!!

I'm in the environmental clean-up industry, and honestly, even back when it first went up there really wasn't anything I could think of that could handle a spill of this magnitude.
This shit's visible from SPACE, I mean, the demands are like trying to tell Rio Tinto to fill in and remediate their open pit Kennecott Copper Mine in a couple weeks. Damn thing displaced two whole 2,000-ish foot tall mountains. With the Deep Horizon Plume we're talking even MORE surface area impacted, about as deep, and even WORSE concentration levels, and Kennecott took almost a CENTURY to get like it is. This happened in a couple weeks!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennecott_Copper_Mine
(See the tiny trucks in the picture? Those things are 40 feet TALL. I'm talking goddamn Jawa SANDCRAWLERS)
The only thing I could think of you COULD feasibly do is try to stop the source, and nothings worked, and I don't even think BP is TRYING.
>_> And I have a horrible suspicion that not ONLY is there coddling because of the Obama BP connection, and not ONLY is there poor maintenance and management by BP Halliburton (and the other company) and not ONLY was the explosion probably the result of an intentional accident to manipulate oil prices that went out of control... This bullshit may be being used to cover up an Obama scandal. I think if I say what I think it is people are going to light me on fire and chase me out of here.

Hello,
Ten million times worse may be hyperbolic, but it's pretty bad.
BP has delayed their solution 2-3 times already. It is indeed time to call a state of emergency on this mess and start mobilizing everything available to contain the spill and protect the coast as much as possible.
This does NOT free BP from their responsibility, but when someone isn't able to meet their responsibilities, we don't have a choice but to step in. The alternative is a Dead Zone. And in fact, some kind of Dead Zone is inevitable. But we do need to break our backs to minimize it.
I'll add that the government needs to figure out what the citizens can do to help. When the citizens of this nation are given a goal, "Donate X" or "Send Y" they do it. The generosity and impact can be astounding. We just need to know what is needed.

And you denied your desire to be able to say that. Thanks for living up to the very worst things about your vile personality.
Thanks for making my point though - no matter the result, you just want to use this to bitch about Obama. If Bush had done the same thing, you'd be sucking his dick over it.

If you've any level of human decency in you,and aren't a complete coward, you'll watch CNN tonight, Anderson Cooper 360.
I suspect there is none, of course, but maybe you can find some. Or borrow some ,if you must.

Hello,
I am absolutely positive this will be spun into an anti-Obama angle. I was seeing the trend starting a few days ago, actually. That's not really a bad thing, if it results in a massive mobilization to do something. If Obama feels threatened politically and starts moving Heaven and Earth to battle this disaster, then it's win-win.

Quote:Ofcourse it'll be spun into an anti-Obama angle, can you tell me how it can be spun as pro-Obama? He's jacked off too long now. He's in California raising money for that twit Boxer while NIKI2 is in the Gulf wiping oil off rocks with stray kittys! FYY, NIKI2 posted thread saying fur is best to clean oil off rocks. Look it up.

Eh-heh. Yeah, nobody has EVER done anything like that in the face of a disaster in Louisiana, have they?

Again, this has NEVER been done. Not during Katrina, certainly.

Not until 10,000,000,000-plus people die, it isn't.
Make up your mind, you feckless fuckwit. You're just babbling incoherently at this point. Not that this is a new thing for you, of course...
YOU want the federal government out of everything, because you say they can't "handled" anything. And because they're out of this, you're bitching that they can't "handled" it.
And if they stepped in and "handled" it, you'd bitch about that, too, because it might (god forbid!) COST MONEY. BP caused this disaster, 100%, it's all theirs, and they need to goddamned fix it, NOW. Sorry to break the bad news to you, but the best people at being able to fix this kind of thing work for... THE OIL INDUSTRY! They don't work for the government; they don't work for the military. They work where they can make the most money. And that this is beyond their abilities tells you all you need to know about you and your fucking idiots' "Drill, Baby, Drill" bullshit chant. If you can't fix the spill, you can't drill, baby.
This is the obvious and unavoidable result of YOUR party's positions and campaign platform. Suck it. You wanted it, now you've got it. All you can fucking eat.
