Obama's Oil Spill

[Riot]

Oh, the relief well is still at least 30 days away...

No, the relief well (2 access points) was started, and is currently still being drilled and set up. I heard 2 months, however, until completion. I think they started it about a week after the disaster.

They initially said 30 days, but assured them it would never be necessary because they had all the proper safety/environmental bases covered ...all the while distracing them (the Interior Dept) as the were too busy being wined and dined and watching porn at work to give a good rats asz

It's infuriating, how much everyone was allowed to get away with regarding safety, etc (coal industry - ditto)

But that "change we can believe in" was supposed to have already shook those "TX oilmen in the WH, have a secret meeting with Cheney, boys" years up. We'll see.

Last I remembered, Bush (after agreeably being shaken while reading to schoolchildren) made it a point to put aside fund-raising and all of his other "responsibilities" to get to Ground Zero in a manner that stressed the importance of rallying the country around a disaster of immeasurable proportions.

You're guy, not so much

Bob,
Are you assuming that this disaster is less important to the security of our Nation? Or our Nation's well being?

It's assinine to compare the two....

I'm not "comparing" anything - I'm stressing the importance of the President of the United States of America role in salvaging one of our only unreplaceable resources, while keeping a level head and assuring our nation that he is involved at the highest level...Sorta like actually showing up...

Not sending his dimwitted lackey who is directly complicit in the entire mess...

Not putting the importance of jetting off to California to raise money for Barbara Boxer above this - this will be the downfall of any legacy he had envisioned for himself.

I thought you had compared Bush's reaction of 9/11 to Obama's of Day 35 of the BP spill?

There are two different arguements happening here...If you want to say that by now the US Govt should be more involved?..Sure..I can't argue that. But to say that situation is comparable to Katrina or 9/11 or to say it's Obama's Spill is crazy I think. It's just Republican's looking for an edge.

Obama didn't say, "You're doing a heck of a job, BP"
