   Yes, of course! Why didn’t I see it before?! Barack Obama is obviously in the pockets of the oil companies! That explains everything. Why BP chose to destroy their platform! Why they killed those 11 employees! Yes, I now see what the old-time socialists have been raving about for over a century! (Ooops. Time to increase my anti-psychotics.)

   Funny it was the regulation of not drilling closer to shore that is causing the mess. Closer to shore easer to fix and less spread. While I am at it not drilling on land like amwar could also be a point.

   pschearer Obama got more money from big oil then any other political guy. Said we needed more drilling. Then this “accident” happened and he now has a excuse to cry no more drilling along with the other environmental wackos. The same one that cried that drilling was to close to our shores. So BP and the other went to deeper and deeper waters. Which is the problem not the drilling. now that is a gotcha. And mine tracks a little more closely to reality then Rubins spin.

   If “we” didn’t want Oil then “we” wouldn’t “need” drilling.

   …..”we’ve” known of viable alternatives for 40+ Years.

   harley,

   Wrong again!

   From the St. Pete Times: More of BP’s money has been heading to the campaigns of Republicans than Democrats. And as an industry, about three quarters of the oil and gas money has gone to Republicans since 1990, the Center on Responsive Politics noted. That disparity held true in the 2008 presidential campaign, as McCain and his running-mate Palin accepted $2.4 million in contributions from the oil industry, more than double the nearly $900,000 that went to Obama.”

    Arrest BP execs. Liquidate the company to pay for all those “lucky duckys”.

    It clearly doesn’t matter how far offshore the drilling is when the oil companies and inspectors ignore the regulations put in place to prevent such events from occuring. And that is a great triumph for those that want bi-partisanship.

    The government tells me if we didn’t demand illegal drugs, there’d be no more drug violence Does that mean If we didn’t drive so much and got a little inconvenienced by using mass transit—–?

    Hey POGO, have we met the enemy yet?
