Guys, Obama is too hard on BP.
"What I don't like from the president's administration is this sort of, 'I'll put my boot heel on the throat of BP,'" he said in an interview with "Good Morning America." "I think that sounds really un-American in his criticism of business." -Rand Paul
Seriously. Businesses should be able to ruin whatever the hell they want.
F@#$king douche.

"Gestapo boot heel", exactly what I was thinking, given other things this admin has done.
I believe that secretly Obama is happy about this catrastophe with BP because it lets him back away from "exploring more drilling" off shore.

All I know is what I read in the papers,
and that's an alibi for my ignorance.

They should just start getting fined every single day the well keeps spewing oil.

Green energy, such as? Can you tell me what everybody will agree to to achieve green energy?
Maybe we should look at CCX, a company that Al Gore has invested in.

I'm not for war, but it's a lot easier to "sound tough" on puttin your foot on the throat of BP
then on the bigger problems like nuclear proliferation,
and I'll include unemployment, economy and the deficit too.

I think they have pretty good incentive to stop the leak. For us it's an environmental disaster...for BP it's like the well is bleeding shareholder value.

I more than a little pissed t hat Obama hasn't taken over the cleanup. Hasn't placed the head of the coast guard in charge of cleaning it up and freeze every god damn asset that BP has. BP made a 6 billion dollar profit the 1st quarter.

I don't think there's much the Federal Government can do, aside from run the surface activities which I believe the Coast Guard has been leading for some time now.
It's BP who has the undersea equipment and expertise to work the problem. This is happening 5000 feet under water after all.

They should be working harder to contain and clean up what has allready spilled. IF THAT TAKES MEMBERS OF OUR ARMED FORCES SO BE IT. Our coastline is our most cherished resource. And he isn't being strong enough or pro active enough to light a big enough fire under those who are in charge. Jesus he took over the biggest banks in the world and everybody stood aside and let him do it. They should have ships and containers s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g the oil out of the ocean, and I dont mean tomorrow. |

I agree. Disaster readiness and oversight to prevent future catastrophes is a public sector responsibility. While the private sector provides employment and necessities, it's unrealistic to expect them to do business in a manner that is in the best interests of the public when their primary focus is profitability.
That said, I'm sure BP regrets the incident more than anyone.

Lets just say this is Obama's feared 3am call that Hillary warned us about. Jack boot? He hasn't done jack sh$t. The only thing they have done "since day one" is tell us they were on the case "since day one" I agree with Spence that BP should be stopping the leak. However, has there been a meeting with all the "big oil companies" to pool resources and fix this thing? Shell, Exxon? I have a feeling that BP won't stop this leak until the new well is drilled. What we see here are stall tactics. If they stop the leak no well would be allowed to open. Follow the $$$$ and it will stop at the White House

Buckman:
One of the talking heads was interviewing someone last week.
Apparently, the other kids have offered their toys (shell, exxon, etc) but BP doesn't want to play nice.
He was speculating b/c it will further point to how inept this whole process was...

If that's the case then there should be some stiff jail time coming for anyone involved. Don't hold your breath though.  |

Accusing the White House of being in bed with big oil is so, like... 2007.
This place was starting to stink of rationality and sense... welcome back buckman and thanks for setting things back to normal.  |

What would they be saying?
The truth, since it was well known and publicized both Bush and Cheney had deep ties into drilling.
But lets just whine and cry shall we? I know its much more convenient than those silly things like facts.
You're just still bitter ANWR drilling was blocked aren't you? |
