We deserve to be screwed..our love of oil causes all this..

Let them walk for subsidized health care? :)

typical hand-wringing lib!:p

My hands aren't wringing..they are just "I told you so"

Yeah, you could tell from the early reports that this had the potential to become an environmental disaster of monumental proportions.




Some guy on the MarketWatch board wants to rename it the "Gulf of Cheney"...........................

Whoa, I thought El Presidente was on board about off shore drilling?

So did I, Mathman

Tony Hayward, the beleaguered chief executive of BP, has claimed its oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is "relatively tiny" compared with the "very big ocean".

he could have a big future doing pr for the catholic church if he ever leaves bp. he has the knack.

So wouldn't that make the Gulf of Cheney comment from the marketwatch guy a bit unfair?

Obama is now in favor of off shore drilling and there was an unfortunate accident. But somehow this is still the prior administrations fault.

Dont you know that everything is Bush's fault?

I never realized that one man could be so powerful that he single handidly ruined the world.

I think there is a distinction between the philosophy of many in the Right who want to drill everywhere and anywhere they can versus the very select and controlled space that Obama proposed. My personal feeling is that even Obama's proposal is too much, but to compare "Drill Baby, Drill" to what he proposed is a night and day difference.

Fortunately, there are term limits;)

I'm not arguing about the difference of philosophies. The point I was trying to make is that our current President does support off shore drilling. Maybe not to the extend of the prior administration, but he is still in favor of it. And to blame the Bush camp at this point is unjust. If you want to cast blame at anyone, how about at the people that caused it.

Companies will be drilling in the Gulf no matter what America proposes. Then Cuba & Mexico will just take the Gulf's oil. It doesnt really matter.. we might as well not sit on the sidelines and watch others take the oil with the same chance of a spill.

You're right, but the morons chanting "drill baby drill" are simply too stupid and/or ignorant to know any better. The current administration should know better than continuing to support the expansion of this off-shore crap, but until this catastrophe they sure didn't behave as if they did.
Obviously no administration is at fault for what happened, but even though the catastrophe and the administration's policy announcement awhile back are unrelated, the spill should make some members of this administration feel like a bunch of dolts because, on this issue, that's how they were behaving.

:D

i see where the pope has moved on from child sexual abuse to condemning same sex marriage. he's on the ball. :rolleyes:

A hurricane late summer is what concerns me. Granted I'm not a scientist but one would think that the water temperature would be a few degrees higher in places.

If N.O. is hit with a hurricane it's going to be a disaster. They are half-assing the levees.

Fortunately, there are ONE-TERMERS too!;)

Tar balls found on Key West beaches today.

Underwater oil plume estimated to be 10 miles long, 3 miles wide. Oil over one of five major deep coral reefs. Dead porpoises wash up on shore.

BP proud that they've inserted a 4-inch draft into a 20-inch pipe, collecting about a fifth of what is continuing to spill daily.
