Spill Baby Spill - Who should really pay for this Disaster???

You seem to have the impression that your president is some sort of god role where they can control everything and fix any problem.

With all the checks and balances and a congress where the politicians have to spend 4 or 5 hours a day on the phone asking big business for campaign funds I think you overestimate his power vastly.

The president is commander and chief of the US military. He can get on the phone and start the ball rolling immediately. Get some leadership in the area and hell, have civilian volunteers help. We did this sandbagging the Snake River when it flooded. The president of the United States have more power than ever with all the executive orders they have. Homeland Security and FEMA are pretty much a mess but the Navy and Coast Guard know how to put in oil barrier and there are lot's of fishermen in the area that could help. What Obama can do is break the red tape himself. He's the fucking president and can give orders directly and following up on what is being done. A competent president would run circles around this bum.

I've worked in the corporate environment where you deal with multiple divisions. We had a serious problem with the retailers getting product before the sales force was even trained or knew that the products had been shipped. My supervisor and supervisor's boss couldn't get anything done due to the whole complicated and divided structure of the company. I went to a wedding and at the reception I ran into one of the vice presidents of the company. I mentioned the problem to him and he didn't even know there was a problem and said he would take care of it. He made one phone call and the problem was solved. It's called authority. When you are a cog in the machine the other cogs don't care about you but when the orders come from the top, things happen. This is executive power and it's very powerful if used correctly. It's even easier when everyone wants to fix the problem. A good president knows what kind of power he has and uses it carefully and sparingly when needed. It's called taking charge and leading. You might have to be a salesman and an actor to get elected but once you are in office, to do the job you need to be a leader.

The U.S. gov't is opening a criminal probe of BP...

they should open one on themselves..http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100602/...spill_new_well

Obama last week extended a moratorium on wells in deep water like the BP one that blew out a mile below the surface in April and is gushing millions of gallons of oil. But at the same time, the president quietly allowed a three-week-old ban on drilling in shallow water to expire.
"I'm outraged," said Kieran Suckling, executive director for the Tucson, Ariz.,-based Center for Biological Diversity, after a reporter told him of the new permit. "How is it that shallow water drilling suddenly became safe again?"
Bandon Oil and Gas first sought the permit in April shortly after the Deepwater Horizon exploded and sank. The permit was approved Wednesday morning, according to MMS records.

Regulation has become a joke. The Securities and Exchange Commission visited Bernie Madoff six time and twelve years and said he's clean. Meanwhile it turns out the regulators were just sitting in the office looking at porn while Rome burned.

Yup. It was pretty much a scam set up by certain members of the Rothchild's family and the Russians blew it wide open at the Copenhagen summit. There is climate change in the whole solar system actually not just on this planet due an unusual solar minimum, weak solar wind, and a weak electromagnetic field around the earth. It's much larger than CO2 emissions and in fact, if we have a couple large volcano eruptions we could actually cool off. The world is changing. Maybe Jesus is going to come back.

Maybe the Flying Spaghetti Monster will put a giant piece of raviolli in front of the sun and that will cool the planet down.

In the meantime I think we should all stop using this scientist computer internet imaginary shit and start posting on your new solar wind electromagnetic whiz bang god energy site.

When are you putting it up?

Are you going to send us illuminati screens to look at it on?

What does Jesus want us to do?

There's a solar wind electromagnetic whiz bang god energy site?
