The Coast Guard needed to confirm that there were fire extinguishers and life vests on board, and then it had trouble contacting the people who built the barges. If I were Bobby, I'd grab hold of Thad Allen and cuss him a blue streak over this nonsense!!!!!!!!!

Halliburton was advising the BP workers to use "brown mud" and the BP company man, listening to EPA ordered the "brown mud" out and to instead use sea water. Later on EPA said that the US couldn't use the oil skimmers the Dutch provided because, alas, they pumped "contaminated" water back into the Gulf. Good work pinpointing the bureaucratic link to the physical sabotage mechanism. I was wondering how the whole thing was implemented.
So now, assuming a major oil/"carbon" disaster was desired to shove through captrade, we have 1) knowledge of massive drilling pressures in gulf oil drilling; and 2) the bureaucratic mechanism necessary to unleash those pressures in the name of "protecting the environment."
It fits how they think - they love to make the assassin the bodyguard. It gives these sadistic morons shivers to contemplate how brilliant they believe such a cover story is.

This is not an accident.
It's becoming clearer that Obama WANTS the ecological disaster to continue, and worsen.

This really is Obamas fault. He is a pitifully poor manager.The thing you are not understanding is, this is going exactly to Obama's plan.

Who's to benefit? PetroBras and their big investor George Soros. As the now banned drilling rigs all pull up their anchors and head off to Brazil.

The Obama Regime does not want anyone or anything to clean up the oil. The longer this goes on and the worse the problem gets, the easier it will be for the Democrats to cram their will down our throats.
To: Lazamataz
I think it’s going exactly according to Obama’s handlers’ plan.

Besides, even if they have to check for life jackets and fire extinguishers why not check the boats one at a time and have a supply to give them if they need them. This is suppose to be an emergency. Only someone who was focused on helping would come up with that.

Yep, that’s my vote. I don’t expect him to work miracles — this is a crappy situation, and he no more caused it than President Bush II caused the 9/11 attacks, but he’s not even competently fulfilling basic executive functions in ways that could at least modestly mitigate the impact. He might as well just go play golf all day every day, for all the impact he’s had on managing this disaster.
To: Rapscallion
Screw the life jackets. Get your ass out of the way!! Obama is political history!! BP is NOT the problem it is these damned DEMOCRATS!! Stop this madness!!! Skim the oil and screw the JONES ACT . The Environmentalists caused this by pushing drilling that far out. Obama personally approved this drilling. All we have is this grand standing Democrat Congress. God bless Joe Barton and these weak Republicans telling him to apologize better watch their political ASS.
