Obama admin slow to act on oil spill...

[conntom]

I enjoyed that Conn capitalized Nuclear, for no reason. Please post more illiterate and ill-informed rants. They make me laugh in the morning and remind me how much better I am than you.

So much for us meeting up downtown for a beer...

That's pretty "sever," don't you think?

Conntom-- There are remote controlled safety valves-- cost about $500,000 per well. The technology wasn't in place. Why?

Did it have something do with the Energy Policy crafted by VP Cheney and oil execs behind closed doors? Did it have something to do with Haliburton's construction contract on the well that blew up, burned down, collapsed, and commenced to gush?

How's that "Drill, baby, Drill" thingy working out fer ya, huh?

Great post.

It was basically ignored by the person who most needed to respond to it, but it was an honorable effort.

Thanks.

Conndom does not have the slightest idea of what goes on in the oilfield.. 99% is talking out his ass.

^I prefer they don't bother wasting taxpayers' time and money with the games and instead start out by proposing to revoke their corporate charter AND bill them for every cent we can imagine, and work their way back from there until satisfactory results are achieved.

Our government needs to stop giving the benefit of the doubt and playing softball with corporate interests that come to the game fully intent being as nasty and ruthless as the government will allow them to get away with.

This is an emergency and the federal and state governments need to mobilize and organize all the resources to mitigate the damage. This should be declared a national emergency and there should be cleanup crews moving into place to hit the beaches the second the oil starts to come ashore. I have not read any reports about what resources are moving into place.

The taxpayers have no choice to foot the bill until the government can recover costs and punitive damages.

Again... you guys love to fry people who are not lock step with you on your politics.

No, we just like to "fry people" who don't have the foggiest clue what they are talking about.

Given your juvenile ramblings, I don't believe for a second that you're of legal age to drink anyways,

LOL!

The government should act the same way it does when emergency services are called for individuals: fix the mess and present the client with a bill for services rendered. If they don't pay up, start freezing accounts and seizing assets.

I actually agree with you here. Don't see why they couldn't have surrounded the spill with Navy ships, connected by whatever specialized netting is used to contain spills. Logistically, it wouldnt have been too much of a problem.

Really? Are you aware how much oil is spewing out a day? Apparently not.

My feeling as well. The government has a responsibility to act to protect the environment as much as possible, regardless of who was at fault for the incident. Allowing an ecological disaster to just happen isn't an option; determining responsibility for reparations is a separate matter that can be handled after the fact.

 

[B_OtterJoq]

Allowing an ecological disaster to just happen isn't an option...

And it isn't being allowed to "just happen."

 

[conntom]

Yea..... Obama has really been on top of this from the start....


Let's go conspiracy like the left did on the pentagon and New Orleans....

Let us say that Obama/Democrats are trying to kill big oil and the economy so they can bring this country to our knees and get everyone scared and running to the [DEMOCRATS] and turn this country into something sad...

He hates America and he is killing it.

Hey c'mon now...you guys loved all the W. conspiracy ideas....What's wrong with enjoying some good Obama ones.....

 

[B_OtterJoq]

Didn't you say you were leaving?

If you can't keep your word on something as simple as that, why should we place any stock in the rest of your posts?

You're a bitter, angry man. There is help out there...you just need to ask for it.

I really don't see how this negates my point. Naval blockades of large lengths are pretty standard warfighting techniques. It wouldn't be too hardto adapt this concept to containing an oil spill. Are you a moron? Apparently so.

Because they're stupid... just like the "W" ones.

 

[B_talltpaguy]

^You got that right.

I really don't see how this negates my point. Naval blockades of large lengths are pretty standard warfighting techniques.

You don't actually believe that the boats in a blockade just sit still in the water, arrayed end to end, do you?

 

[TomCat84]

Oh GOOD LORD! Nobody else has had any great ideas! Hell, even BP didnt have a contigency plan for this particular rig. For christs toe tapping sake, I'm just throwing ideas out there.

 

[B_talltpaguy]

^And I'm just thinking it through.

It's what morons never do. Thanks!!!
