I don’t think it will be long before those bozos Pelosi and Reid figure out that the only way to stop the leak is with another massive tax increase. Yeah! That’s the ticket! Another tax increase!

A litany of half-truths, withholding crucial video, blocking media access to the site and a failure to share timely and complete information about efforts to contain the largest oil spill in U.S. history have created the widespread impression that BP is suppressing the facts about the April 20 oilrig blowout in the Gulf of Mexico Jeez, I've thought this way about Soetoro's regime since he was immaculated.
To: mlocher
You’re right. I thought about that after I posted.

BP's failure to release video that would help measure how much oil is being released from the broken wellIf BP didn't release the video, it's only because Obama wouldn't permit them to. After all, Obama has been in charge since day one....

Most damning, say members of Congress , was BP's failure to release video that would help measure how much oil is being released from the broken wellThe Government and Navy have plenty of ROV's with cameras they could have sent down within a few days to see what was happening, if they chose to rely on BP, that's their fault.

What government creditablility. POTUS Barack Hussein Obama is a failed President across the board. Obama does not include creditability in his entire mantra or verbage. He is naught but a Chicago thug. Very few Democrat officeholders and candidates want his endorsement or appearance with them on the campaign trail. What to do about Obama? Impeach Obama, NOW!!! His Democrat Party is facing a bloodbath in the upcoming November, 2010 elections. I believe there is a move afoot inside the Democrat party to get Joe (The Dummie) Biden to resign from the VP slot, have Obama appoint Hillary Clinton as the new VP, and then Obama resign or be impeached and Hillary Clinton will become POTUS!!!

Not surprising that half-truths are being served up. The whole truth is that neither BP nor the US government knows how to fix this. Not many politicians or oil company execs have the balls to step up to the TV cameras and say “Sorry, but we’re screwed, and you’re screwed. We’ll try to figure out some way to plug this thing up, but we really have no idea if we can.”

...from DAY 1!!

If Sarah Palin was put in charge of getting this fixed on DAY ONE (thanks Obama), it would have been contained. I’d bet on it.

“...taking toll on BP’s and governments credibility.”
I assure you that there was no credibility BEFORE the “spill”.
To: houeto
I’m with you on that. Someone F’d up big time on this, but it is in BP’s interest to fix it asap. It is in Democrats interest to stretch it out as long as possible for political purposes.

No point whining about BP, O leftist media, when Obama just told us he’s been in charge since Day One.

Because the internet allows the facts to surface quickly, this Oil Debacle will become a turning point in the socialist forward creep, in making a new #1 priority for the left - they want, no they need, to control the internet in order to rewrite the truth according to their agenda. they can no longer risk having the truth of any matter pertinent to national control surface. This disaster will propel them further into grand deceit. They will see this necessity as urgent as we see the necessity to stop the flow and clean up the oil NOW.
The situation on the shore is going to get much worse.
