No skimmers in sight as oil floods into Mississippi waters
Mclatchy ^ | 6/27/10 | Karen Nelson

GULFPORT, Miss. — A morning flight over the Mississippi Sound showed long, wide ribbons of orange-colored oil for as far as the eye could see and acres of both heavy and light sheen moving into the Sound between the barrier islands. What was missing was any sign of skimming operations from Horn Island to Pass Christian. U.S. Rep. Gene Taylor got off the flight angry. "It’s criminal what’s going on out there," Taylor said minutes later. "This doesn’t have to happen.” A scientist onboard, Mike Carron with the Northern Gulf Institute, said with this scenario,

Deliberate is number 1, but incompetency is a close second.

We could have saved money by just paying off the dispersant criminals and made soap for a car wash or something out of it.

“, than to have your UNION friends not have a BIG ENOUGH STASH to be able to make ‘generous’ campaign donations from.”

And that is where they lose me.

Just as a rising tide lifts all boats - a whirlpool will suck them all in.

In the end - the money comes from “somewhere” - and they continue to shut down all sources except for the printing press.

Pretty soon the unions will have no one left to steal from.

If Cheney's pals didn't need to get rid of all that illegal dispersant, all that oil could have been skimmed up immediately as it surfaced and gas would be under $2 by now.

I think you are dreaming about that 'under $2/gallon' part and a little too optimistic. Gas would have gone up regardless, as it does for the 'summer/vacation' months. Matter of fact, the government would probably have added some 'recovery surcharge' to the price for having to remove the water from it, and it would be $3.65/gallon by now.

Perhaps, and who ax'd you to wake me up from my nap?/sarc

I just wanted to make the point that we're in the clutches of a criminal empire that needs taking down.

It's really us or them, and there are more of us!

It's either deliberate or incompetence on a grand scale.

Obama is totally incompetent and incapable of running a sidewalk lemonade stand. But his handlers are conniving and evil (Axelrod and Emmanuel).

Our country is probably too broke to pay for that huge oil skimmer but shouldn’t the money from BP go towards that FIRST!


The US seems to have money for everything else and for everyone else around the globe...and yes, BP should pay for this first.

“who knew him very well as a gay passionate Marxist.”
Is Obama a switch hitter?

Is that why he is empathic to “gays”?


His mentor from age 10 to 18 was Frank Marshal Davis,

an old bisexual in Hawaii who wrote a very detailed bi-sexaul boasting pornographic novel whose sub-title on the cover I cannot type here:

in the book he bragged of picking up a young white girl on the Hawaiian beaches named “Anne”; and sharing her with his white wife;

Frank’s name was disguised in Obama’s book

I wonder why?

and he, Frank, had a 601 page FBI file incl details of his Communist party connections in ....... Chicago !

His most famous “poem” was “March on Red Army”

Gee

wonder if Obama was influenced at all by this guy ..............

Seems to me that O is more than “empathetic” to gays —— he absolutely loves them.........
