Obama appointed a commission on the Gulf oil spill! What a joke he is!!!! It would be foolish to think BP is not doing everything it can to stop the leak in order to just save there own company which is now in doubt. I wish I was on the commission I could tell them what went wrong IT BLEW UP ITS AN OIL WELL IT CAN HAPPEN He said it's time that politicians are not so cozy with oil companies yet while he was a Senator he received the highest amount of money from BP then any other senator.
Stopping drilling just to look good is not the answer, all thats going to do is put more people out of work and might just cause prices to go up.
They need to support the people working to stop it and get off the blame game for now and stop trying to look Presidential when you don't have a clue on what is going on. The only thing that can be done is support the effort in any way needed. I have no doubt the Army Corp of engineers and Naval and Coast Guard Engineers are involved with helping B.P. Barrack Obama should just go back to Chicago where he spent Memorial Holiday at least there he is in his element of the crooked Chicago Political Machine.

Obama should have been down there learning what is going on and helping with support by being there. I don't think he has even been on a boat in the Gulf to see the damage. Some times I think there is a key in his back that someone just turns and the talking head starts talking (I WANT THIS AND THAT I AM THE PRESIDENT)

Obama Side Note( I guess its a good thing he did not go to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier) The man don't respect our Military.

This type of right wing rant qualifies you to become one of those right wing propagandist like Russ Dimbulb or Sean Insanity.

And now that horrible oil "spill" is substantially larger than the legendary-for-being-corrupt, state of Illinois...what a tragedy.

Says the Left wing Libtard.

You lobbing insults and calling names just because you disagree with someone else's political beliefs or opinions doesn't make you any better.

What I don't think a lot of people realize is that by hurting BP, you hurt more innocent people than "fat cat" CEOs. Most people who live in the area I do have ties to BP. They get their paychecks from BP, and no they aren't evil right wing environment hating gun toting people. They're normal people. They're consumers and every other industry (auto, restaurant, music etc.) is tied to them. These are the people who will suffer the most because of this oil spill, other than the families of the people who lost their lives. Those are the people who are going to be hurt by all the politics and fines and crap, not the CEOs. Because when they're fined for making a human error what are they going to do to pay for it? Lay people off. Not rich people, not mean or evil people, regular people. Even now with drilling banned, we're already starting to feel the effects of it. If the drilling goes, the jobs go and we're in deep trouble. Fishing is already taking a major hit, but I have a feeling that every industry will feel the affects of it. And not just on the gulf coast, I'm talking about the entire country. If you bite the hand that feeds you, well then you're going to starve. It's not politics, it's not republican or democrat or anything. It's just common logic.

Anyway, that's just my two cents on this topic. I don't want to debate or anything, there's already plenty of fighting in the world.

You ever notice how many Leftist Liberals do nothing but call people names. They must practice this while learning how to get hand outs at the offices of Acorn or at Chairman Mao love fest meetings. I hate to tell the poster I could not remember the last time I listened to the two people he was referring to, neither is My cup of tea. Face it we swing the country any further left with socialist programs we will be in the same boat as Greece, Spain, Italy and other European countries struggling to pay for all the programs they have put in place. Just read about them and see whats pulling them down to be bankrupt countries with 20% and higher unemployment. Its socialize programs that they started and now they can't find a way out.

agreed however I don't condone name calling just because you don't believe in someone else's opinion, hence why I gave him a taste of his own medicine out of irony. It's better to come with facts and logical reasoning than name calling. At least the thread starter posted his opinions and more than a one sentence insult.

One thing is certain. You don't live in PG county.....then again maybe you do!

Not to far from Baltimore here its as bad and worst then PG . Nine Homicides in the three day weekend. Your safer in Afghanistan then Baltimore.
The ultra Liberal state of Md. with some of the most restrictive gun laws there are. Of course they only effect the law abiding citizen by not allowing them to protect them self. The city of criminals could care less about the laws. Our laws make for easy targets of crimes.

I'm confused. A week ago, Republicans were complaining that the Federal Government was not doing enough. For example John Gibson from Fox News:
"Doesn’t it seem the federal government could be doing something? Doesn’t it seem that the mighty federal government could marshall more resources than an oil company? I think the president wants nothing to do with this… until it’s over. Then I expect he will take a bow." from http://radio.foxnews.com/2010/05/24/oba ... z0pdJctj00

So now Obama does something and you still complain. You'll complain no matter what.



That really would be your only contribution? "IT BLEW UP". Thank you Captian Obvious.



State or post a valid link to your source of this information.



Yeah get off the blame game and do something constructive.



Bipartisan conjecture. Similar things were said of Bush during Hurricane Katrina.



You don't even need to get on a boat to see the damage in some areas. Just walk to the shoreline.



Bipartisan conjecture. Similar things were said of Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan etc etc. Same old story since 1789 that will repeat itself no matter who is president.

edit: And I'm one step ahead of you if you retaliate and accuse me of being a 'crazy liberal' or 'communist' since I'm linking an article from May 26 of James Carville himself critizing Obama for not doing something sooner about the oil spill: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162- ... 03544.html As a Democrat, that was hard for me to post. But I've got the b@lls to question my own political party and not be lead by blind faith. I use common sense and facts to make my decisions. Your nonsensical ranting won't change anyone's mind.

This is true, but you have shown over time that you are not capable of marshaling facts and putting together logical and coherent arguments. If you don't believe me look up your old posts and re-read them.

Hi Knitgirl, long time no talk, I missed you!!

Captain Obvious Metro74 another liberal calling someone a name here information that is available and was talked about but they are trying to bury it. This has been written before the liberal press started hiding it.

Quote

During the 2008 election cycle, individuals and political action committees associated with BP — a Center for Responsive Politics’ “heavy hitter” — contributed half a million dollars to federal candidates. About 40 percent of these donations went to Democrats. The top recipient of BP-related donations during the 2008 cycle was President Barack Obama himself, who collected $71,000.

BP regularly lobbies on Capitol Hill, as well. In 2009, the company spent a massive $16 million to influence legislation. During the first quarter of 2010, it spent $3.53 million on federal lobbying efforts, ranking it second (behind ConocoPhillips) among all oil and gas industry interests.

Its registered lobbyists include a number of former federal government and high-ranking political campaign officials, including longtime political operative Tony Podesta, former congressional chief of staff Bob Brooks, former congressional legislative director David Pore and vice presidential aide Michael S. Berman, the Center’s research shows.
