James Cameron will sort it out.
He is an expert in underwater technology...sarc!
If we're going "back to the USSR" - how long until the secret police take our cameras?
Thanks you effing dems for giving us a police state.
President Tar Ball sucks,
and his response to the oil spill is a joke.
What I would have done if I was president would be to put my desk on the beach. Any SE beach would do, but let’s go with Louisiana’s since it got hit first. I would put my desk right there by the waters edge, along with some other things, not historic of course, from the Oval Office, and I would go to work there every single day. I would then say this is my office, this is the office of the american people. Who will prevent this oil from washing into my office, and how do you intend to do it? Anyone who then offered a reasonable solution would be allowed to submit a proposal, and then I would put them to work, with pay, from BP.
I would not leave that beach until this matter was 100% resolved.
What works in Chicago cannot and will not work on the national level. Cameras are everywhere and the truth will get out.
That said, it is frightening that Obama thinks he can bully Americans until they fall in line.
He's nothing but a thug!
I don’t doubt that the news control/black out is true but some names and quotes would help.
That said I can understand not allowing the hordes (or is it whores) of media to descend upon a fragile environment, especially if they are from a completely different type of ecosystem. Somebody from the middle of the desert would have no clue as to what to do in a marsh.
And please don't think I am trying to justify any actions by the great Zero. I find him totally disgusting and incompetent. I just would like to know if the report is a knee jerk reaction to a reasonable limitation.
I think that we could easily get some video of a private citizen or group being denied access to the region. I’ll find this report much more credible when such a video emerges. I think that James O’Keefe is enjoined from leaving New Jersey at the moment, but I’m sure that some other intrepid truth seeker could fill in.
Are you still planning to “expose Free Republic nationally” unless everyone agrees with you?
At the same time that the “take-charge” Feds shouldered the responsibility for regulating drilling in the Gulf, they shouldered the responsibility to make sure Americans did not suffer needlessly from disasters related to that drilling.
Yes, BP should ultimately pay for the clean up, but the Federal Government should have moved quickly to make sure the damage was minimized as much as possible.
Has Obama declared a state of emergency in Louisiana yet?
OILGATE: It’s not about the costly leak, it’s about the stingy cleanup.
Obamaman, the Destroyer, has become the Commander-inchief of all tar balls.
They wont be able to hide it forever, but by then it might be to late.
How can you “close” a region? I can see Obama government officials refusing interviews, but I don’t see how they can stop reporters from talking to fishermen, cleanup crews or even walking down the beach.
citizens, private relief groups, photographers, bloggers, and citizen journalists have been barred from access to the region.
