If wacko environmental groups hadn’t forced BP to drill so far down, this spill would’ve been more easily contained and cleaned up.
And, BTW, didn’t the genius Obama just give BP an award for safety just before this fiasco?
Wake up, Obama just wants to control oil production now-this is his great opportunity. He’s already got his sticky fingers in the financial sector of the US and is REALLY MAD now because everything else in his destructive agenda of America has to be put on hold, namely cap and trade. Have you seen this month’s job figures? Only 49,000 from the private sector (where money comes from to run the government) and 400,000 temporary census govt. jobs. And, Mr. O is thrilled-D”uh!

Doug,

I used to be a moderator on CHB. I used to have a lot of respect for this site. That said, many today are fed up with the Obama “ether” and are now simply pissed off. I’m one of them. I voted for the guy. I’m sorry that I did. I encouraged others to do the same. I’m sorry that I did. I thought that his man was a new type of politician, bright, eloquent, articulate, and honest. I’m sorry that I did. As should be you.

I first started reading your stuff years ago, when you were quoted by a friend with whom I was engaging in a political debate. I served as a Moderator, right here on CHB, for several years, until I could handle the anti-Semitic, ultra-liberal, progressive, socialist crap no longer. Sure, you remember, Phil Hoskins, Steve Livingston (STEREOMAN), and others who wished that the Jews and Israel had never drawn breath. It was a rough time. I had so much respect for you then. How sad that it has all been lost. Not that it matters to you, much. You continue to prosper, good on you, Doug. You also continue to spew misinformation. Not so good. I hope that your future is filled with more honesty, truth, and straightforwardness than has been your norm, until now, Doug.

Lets see, for one I would check to find out if the former naval officer who was a expert on nuclear weapons stated that one of them would work however he said that it is undesirable and a conventional weapon could do the job, that Russia had similar problems and explosives fixed them. Kinda worth while checking out the possibility, oh yes and Iran who has much experience offered to lend there expert to assist us. Wouldn’t it be great if we at least asked them, who knows it might cure the leak and open the door to better relations with them

.hamgar, get a grip, what gives you the right or the gall to belittle “Jim” for his posting. I am sick and tired of these personal attacks, just state your view OK? It never ceases to amaze me that we always have someone on the internet who most of the times is a coward in hiding their identity, belittling someone for there views. Who made you the expert, grow up and act like a responsible person instead of a idiot like Obama. Stop blaming Bush for That regime that has been gone almost two years now, how long do you people need before you start making Obama act like a president instead of a immature, self serving person that he is. He is the one who promised everything to everyone and failed/ lied on every promise. Remember the phrase ” the buck stops here”, well he had a responsibility to check on various government agency’s and he failed. He failed to find out if current regulations were sufficient in the event of a accident to prohibit this disaster, but no, just wear out the jet running all over the country pounding his chest is the only thing I have seen him do. What a bunch of hypocrites, just support your party at any cost is the only thing I have heard.

Rob- you’ve just agreed with all my points about Obomber™

Rob- The problems at MMS have been well known for YEARS

Rob- Obomber™ has been in for more then a year fully well aware about the BS @ MMS allowing these regulatory oversights to fly as you have agreed with me. This was on ChimpCo’s™ watch and on our ‘We Canⓒ’ president’s watch.

We want presidents that are Pro-Active instead of Re-Active. It took a national disaster to get our ‘We Canⓒ’ president off his keester to clean house.

How many more agencies are there now that are populated by ChimpCo™ retreads and what surprises will we have to look forward to.

Duhhhhh…….

Hi Rob,

I don’t understand where you come up with “Obama is cleaning house” unless you are being facetious. This President was engaged in appointing retreads from past administrations even prior to taking the oath of office. He made the decision to keep SOD Robert Gates on post the Bush era along with a host of other Bush appointees. So I just don’t get that he’s cleaning house. In fact he’s got appointees going back to the Clinton, Reagan era too. There’s not much fresh blood at the top advising this seemingly ‘synthetic’ president.

Unless he’s lying, he claims he wasn’t aware of Ms. Birnbaum’s resignation as MMC (Minerals Management Service) director.

“Interior Secretary Ken Salazar “came in and started cleaning house. But the culture had not fully changed at MMS. And surely I take responsibility for that.” …extract from another article

So is Ms. Birnbaum part of the referenced ‘culture’ or not? She’s been around since mid 2009. He was sworn in January 2009, so if she’s part of some ‘culture’ then she’s part of Obama’s culture whatever that is…no?
She’s failed us too because she’s more of the same as we had under Bushco and the Clinton era too.

I’m not questioning you simply to be contentious, but I don’t buy into this President being some unwitting victim of the past culture. He’s nothing but a continuation of the same in spades as far as I’m concerned and this unanticipated oil spill accident has bitten them all in the arse…big time! It exposes them for their perennial shuffle-butting and ongoing cronyism gone wild.

Klaus -

and when were those regulatory shenanigans going on? exactly? and which administration put a stop to it? exactly?

if you answered “pre Obama” to the first 2 you win the prize! and “post Bush” to the latter 2 you win a bonus. Do you imagine it is an accident the head of MMS just “resigned”? Obama is cleaning house and has been on this shit since he came into office, but like everything else with embedded employees from Bush years burrowed in to their jobs he cant just fire them from MMS. DUH . . .

Good points Klaus, and I think it’s important to note the Junior Bush started the nuclear revival and it’s just another way Obama and Bush are pursuing the same agenda.

It’s what the Obomber Administration didn’t do: The Minerals Management Service inspectors let oil companies fill out the inspection forms by themselves. There is all sorts of regulatory holes all over the place that gave the crude oil genie a chance to get out of its lair.

Obama is also a shill for reviving the nuclear industry which no insurance company will insure, no utilty will pony up any money for a nuclear plant…but Obomber’s plan is to go around all this and we will pay for nuclear plants to be built; nuclear plants which without nearly any exception ALWAYS run over at least 10 times the eastimate for construction costs which is around 5 billion dollars. They take 7 to 12 years to be built, licensed & operated. The labor to build them always goes up because they take so long to build. Whatever benefit of so called cheap energy genertion is immediately offeset by when the reactor needs to be refueled which is extremely expensive compounded by the cost for storing the waste.

The amount of money spent on nuclear planst would be far better spent on financial incentives for citizens, businesses & industry to insulate and other cost saving energy efficency methods which generate almost immediate results of electrical savings vs the up to 12 years to see any results with nuclear plants.

But Noooo…Our Brave Obomber is beholden to the Nuclear Industry which is splayed out on its ass hoping Obomber will ream us citizens wallets to get it up and running again.

I dispise the Neo Liberal, PNAC agenda of Bare Ass Obama!

Obomber will never live this one down.

you are acting like in a country of 300+ million that created the space shuttle 30 years ago there is no experts here that can fix that leak.. no sir we are completely dependent on 1 foreign company that was responsbible for the leak that had to plan to stop any leak to begin with..yes we don’t have any body here.. the goverment can’t do it.. we need bp expertise..we’re stupid, dumb.. nothing here

oh yeah and that 5000 barrel estimate must be correct because bp said so we can’t use basic geometry and physics to figure out it is far too low

again we’re too dumb here bp is smart
