Yeah, and you were reading "My Pet Scape-Goat" and playing golf.... Don't let a good crisis go to waste....I had a feeling that oil covered pelicans and tar balls on Florida beaches were not an accident....Yeah, I know correlation doesn't equal causation, but it does raise the question... http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0610/38468.ht ml Sounding reflective as he heads into a bruising electoral season, President Barack Obama told POLITICO columnist Roger Simon that the Gulf disaster “echoes 9/11” because it will change the nation’s psyche for years to come. Obama — facing mounting criticism of his handling of the BP gusher, even from longtime allies — vowed to make a “bold” push for a new energy law even as the calamity continues to unfold. And he said he will use the rest of his presidency to try to put the United States on a course toward a “new way of doing business when it comes to energy.” (Message edited by rwven on June 14, 2010) | ||

That "new way" would be multiple times as expensive energy, conservation by force, not choice, massive increase in govt., and no actual increase in power generated as the population grows poorer, and poorer. If however, the oil rig disaster was actually a plot to give Obama more power...  You, know, Like Bush planting all those charges in the WTC buildings.... Then I suppose the spill IS like 9/11/01 as it is an attack on America by hostile forces.

Of course not, but it appears he is far more ready to exploit the crisis than he is to smooth the way for those that those who can mitigate the crisis. | ||

Lets do some simple math shall we? -obama with his extensive resume and list of accomplishments is the best man suited to lead as president. *equals* -the United States who doesnt rely on oil or other energy means to produce and has a great economy right now can afford to pay much more for energy. | ||

I love the girls who's trying not to break up in the background at the end. Certainly we need to get off petroleum. To do so we need nuclear, solar, fusion, etc. I'd all for covering every appropriate roof in the country with solar panels. But it has to cost a lot less for that to happen. You want to stick the most advanced windmill in the world next to T. Kennedy's grave to showcase our green direction? I'm cool with that. ( Unless he's in Arlington, or other sacred ground. ) We need electro-roofing that is cost compatible with good shingles or a metal roof. Then you make it the new standard. You need Nuclear power, and a few hundred million tossed at Farnsworth-Bussard reactors. We have to replace the oil and natural gas energy plants with clean nuclear, wind, solar so we can use those precious resources to make plastic & run our cars & homes. More power is better. Conservation is good. ( just leave the cult out of it. ) What Congress spends on stuff I don't agree with in a day would cover the green revolution as run by real scientists & engineers as opposed to religious/politcal zealots. Total disclosure, I drive a TDI. I get no kickback from this commercial ad. (Message edited by aesquire on June 14, 2010) | ||

There is a thought provoking documentary on DVD in the public library that asks Who Killed The Electric Car? | ||

Maybe ray nagan could be appointed to head up some of the oversight of the cleanup. They could sit around discussing many topics at the round table sniffing each others farts while real working men and women are doing something. Government media orgs would eat it up although ray nagan has a little too much negro dialect for the liberal media elite. Serves BP right if zero screws them for all of those gay "green" commercials Ive seen and by gay I dont mean homosexual I mean liberal. | ||

Are you freakin' kidding me! Obama's Spill Recovery Chief Will Be Part-Time | ||
| Aesquire |
I have no problem with the "spill guy" being a part time job for an existing official. It may be the only made up office in this regime not staffed by a huge number of lefty revolutionary minions, and the only office not costing us a few hundred million more in debt & taxes without congressional oversight. ( like that helps ) http://article.nationalreview.com/436712/gulf-war- three/mark-steyn?page=1 best line ever... “It Takes a Spillage.” |
