Love it! LOL bttt
I'm sure I will!
If You Want Blood...You Got It
If the Democrat Party wants a blood, they got it. Or as El Rushbo says, "They have a bloodbath coming on Election Day."
You got it!
Great, and accurate commentary. Thanks!
Great post.
Also, I’m glad you pointed out that Pres. Bush called the governor of LA several times and told him that, by law, the president could NOT take action to help unless the governor asked for it. Blanco refused each time. Still, NOLA was BUSH’S FAULT according to the media.
Thank you for reading and for the post. I do appreciate both.
Never in a million years would he forfeit trillions of dollars and agree to off shore drilling for real. Never. Therefore, next comes that Cap and Tax bill, to "pay for" potential accidents like this on in the future. Bingo! Oboma becomes a multibillionair! $$$
Excellent post. I will email it to family and friends.
The "SPIN" won't work (see post #34 above) this time:
VIDEO shows federal officials knew quickly of potential for massive oil flow in Gulf spill.
Chris Horner has another perspective:
Irony of Ironies: Could Gulf Spill Kill Cap-and-Trade? ... and MORE HERE
For this to be “Obama’s Latroma” the Press has to hammer the Kenyan for his responses. The Leftist Government Press, that is. It ain’t gonna happen.
Thank you, lysie. I appreciate you reading and emailing.

Friday 04/30/2010 Halliburton and the Gulf Disaster [Greg Pollowitz]
WSJ:
"An oil-drilling procedure called cementing is coming under scrutiny as a possible cause of the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico that has led to one of the biggest oil spills in U.S. history, drilling experts said Thursday.
"The process is supposed to prevent oil and natural gas from escaping by filling gaps between the outside of the well pipe and the inside of the hole bored into the ocean floor. Cement, pumped down the well from the drilling rig, is also used to plug wells after they have been abandoned or when drilling has finished but production hasn't begun.
"In the case of the Deepwater Horizon, workers had finished pumping cement to fill the space between the pipe and the sides of the hole and had begun temporarily plugging the well with cement; it isn't known whether they had completed the plugging process before the blast.
"Regulators have previously identified problems in the cementing process as a leading cause of well blowouts, in which oil and natural gas surge out of a well with explosive force. When cement develops cracks or doesn't set properly, oil and gas can escape, ultimately flowing out of control. The gas is highly combustible and prone to ignite, as it appears to have done aboard the Deepwater Horizon, which was leased by BP PLC, the British oil giant.
"Concerns about the cementing processand about whether rigs have enough safeguards to prevent blowoutsraise questions about whether the industry can safely drill in deep water and whether regulators are up to the task of monitoring them.
"The scrutiny on cementing will focus attention on Halliburton Co., the oilfield-services firm that was handling the cementing process on the rig, which burned and sank last week. The disaster, which killed 11, has left a gusher of oil streaming into the Gulf from a mile under the surface.
"Federal officials declined to comment on their investigation, and Halliburton didn't respond to questions from The Wall Street Journal.

Send the link to all you think would be interested. This is too good a post to let die here on FR. Pass it on.
The whole Katrina hysteria was a media-made lie. The errors were on the part of the LA Governor and the NO Mayor.
Now THIS............THIS is an Obama disaster. He is at fault, but will never be blamed for his apathy, inaction and ineptness.............problems President Bush never, ever had.
THANKS, Matchett-PI!
We'll see who wins this...he and his lying lap-dog media, or the truth.
