While there is much to be discussed regarding what lead to the failure of Deepwater Horizon, and the management of the disaster, the phrase, "And while the well spewed millions and millions of gallons of oil into the gulf... for 53 days ... before the president could be bothered to interrupt his fund raising/golf outings to appear to give a crap" is a bunch of completely false baloney, and everyone knows it.

The facts are the Feds had personnel on-scene the day after the explosion, and the administration was paying attention from day one.

The ridiculousness of proponents of small government retroactively blaming Obama for the country being dependent upon the well-drilling professionals working with the government for mitigating the disaster, as if our government owned it's own oil-well drilling equipment and employs rig personnel that could have displaced the crews of the well owners and taken over the scene, isn't lost on anyone.

Especially in light of what the investigation of the incident revealed about BP, Halliburton and TransOcean.

And while the mere mention of the ongoing severe consequences of BP, Halliburton and TransOcean's incompetence in drilling this well strangely but predictably produced a rabidly reflexive demonstration of Obama Derangement Syndrome from the usual, as if he were responsible, the facts are that the environmental impact continues.

So if anybody would like to address the subject of the thread, rather than using it as an excuse for another ridiculous outbreak of Obama Derangement Syndrome, have at it.
