Looks like another Gulf incident. I hope its not another nightmare for the US. Obama will you take care of it today and not have to think about it for a month before reacting?

Shutting down off-shore drilling may be more dangerous than having on-going work.

I hope it is not a Terrorist incident that Obama then ignores and blames the oil rig company. I wonder if there are any Korean subs in the area. You know that rumor was out there on the Deepwater incident. Perhaps its George Soro’s trying to game the oil future market.

Too true. Skeleton crews, if anybody. Nobody on the rig to repel boarders? Who is to stop sabotage?

But I thought it was Bush’s fault..... /s

It is indeed strange timing and probably no coincidence.
Obama was overruled by the Judge on the moratorium ... and now what?

Move along. These oil rig explosions are commonplace; just like those wild fires in California. Just blame them on Global Warming.

Actually alien beings from a planet in another galaxy came down and blasted the damn rig. They use elephant farts for energy and don’t like the competition.
You heard it here first. I swear!
