Padded payroll, raids on the public treasury to pay for services not rendered, corruption, malfeasance and shoddy work— all the symptoms typical of a public works project in Chicago? Who would’ve thunk it?

I suspect what BP pays for and what is done is far from the same numbers and they know this as well.

It also asserts what many on the Left have long maintained, that the White House has been excessively deferential to BP since the spill began,.

Same as many of the republicans and posters here. When I said BP had not tried to stop the flow only capture it, I never seen the like of Pis* and Moaning from posters here. They have all taken the oil lobby's money so you can only expect hand wringing.

Knowingly falsifying an official federal document is a Major federal Felony. Even more so for the Coast Guard Admiral under the punitive articles of the UCMJ.

It’s not certain that the assets are being being paid to sit idle. But they sure aren’t out there skimming oil the way BP and Coast Guard are claiming. An 0bama authored tragedy....Our Kenyan saboteur who despises America. He’s laughing at us as he eats his wagyu beef and arugula soup

I they really want to unleash capitalism, BP should open a collection terminal and pay a set amount of money per barrel of oil recovered. You would see everybody with a boat in the gulf coast region collecting oil. And, if they opened it up to all nations there would be a gold rush to the gulf!

That’s the same as a $100 bounty for all illegal aliens you can catch at the border....That + a fence would end illegal immigration

That is the chance that BP takes for spilling the oil in the first place, of course BP can still sell the collected oil to a refinery to recover some lost revenue.

From the report:

“In some instances, it appears that equipment is provided simply to quiet public criticism. Mr. Nungesser, who has frequently appeared on local and national television, was apparently visited by two White House officials at his office on Fathers’ Day. According to Mr. Nungesser, the purpose of their visit was to find a way to keep him
from calling attention to the lack of equipment. Specifically, they asked him, “What do we have to do to keep you off tv?” He simply replied, “give me what I need.”

On another occasion, Placquemines Parish officials requested 20 skimmers at a town hall meeting held by the Coast Guard. According to Mr. Nungesser, “They gave us
two skimmers to shut us up.” These accounts raise serious questions about whether the Administration is more concerned with fighting a public relations battle than combating the oil spill.”

It seems that the Administration is more interested in managing the PR than managing this disaster.

It might take a few weeks or months, but NObama ain’t going to be able to keep a lid on all of this forever.

This is not an area where he can “freeze’ the records like he did with his birth certificate, school records, etc.
