I do agree with you however, just dont tell that to the media or the "Obama can do no wrong" public like the next quote.

Blind hatred - you're way off base.

Blah blah blah. Off base? I dont think so, you brought up Bush not me.

My question still stands - Where did I say this problem was the fault of George Bush? Show me an exact example - please.

Yes, I brought up Bush. So what? You can't answer my question, because you're ascribing things about me that are a lie.

A bit defensive arent you? Get over it. Shrub is back home in Crawford and Obama is dropping the ball not just in DC, and the border, but all over the Gulf as well.

At least Shrub took the blame when he knew it was his to own, unlike your man Barry.

No, you are. You accuse me of something I did not say. I'm just setting the record straight. You're the one calling the former President of the United States Shrub. A bit disrespectful, don't you think? And, to set your mind at rest, I have never called Bush by that nickname. And that is not defensive - that is the truth.

Nice misdirection. At least Im consistent when I disrespect the president, I dont care what party they are from or even if I agree with the job they are doing.

Im not in the least defensive about Obongo dropping the ball in the Gulf, on the Border or going on vacation in Chicago when he should be at Arlington. In fact I think Obama AKA Barry should be in DC this weekend and not in Chicago with his buddies.

On the topic of this thread Obama AKA Barry should be bending over backwards to give BP every helping hand and advantage to plug this leak in the ocean rather then letting his lapdogs posture about pushing the people who know what they are doing and what is at stake out of the way.

I have to give credit to my hard left leaning brother for this, Shrub would have nuked this leak the day after the blowout, he wouldnt have pussyfooted around going to fundraisers.

SHRUBBERY !!!! I say.

Well whoever did what - or didn't do what - isn't the issue now. The fact remains, that the oil is still gushing, and the top fill idea is just another act of grasping at straws that didn't work. Back to the drawing board, guys!

This truly is a big time disaster. Who is to 'blame'?

Ask this question.... Why are they drilling that far offshore and that deep when there are sources closer and more shallow? Or oil shale, or on land resources? Hmmmmm?

Or is it just BP being greedy? Because 'doo doo' occurs, ESPECIALLY when greed is involved. Because I know I would cut corners and be lax about the return I get on a multi-billion dollar investment.

And the best part... The fix is to just stop drilling. Glad this guy was not President during the Moon race.

I know... Being angry and pointing fingers is fun... And the easy way out. Eh?

-----------

We all want 'green' energy. It will take time. 'Doo doo' will occur during the R&D of those sources. Will movement forward on it stop? Will we even know?

Our way of life is utterly dependant on petroleum products. Why not get the EASY and domestic sources while we bring better sources online? Bashing BP does not help.

I mean, I can survive living in the 18th century, but I don't want to. How about you?
