His speech interrupted my show today for what I thought would be an earth shattering speech on the Tragedy of the Oil Spill. Boy was I wrong! He sputtered, stammered and stuttered and when asked how he felt that he was being compared to the Katrina ''incident'' he again stuttered and got off track!
He 1st said bp was responsible then he said if anyone is to blame then ''HE is guilty''......so does that mean the 1000s effected can sue him?!
Over 15 countries have offered Aide,even the major oil countries, he has only taken 2 up on their offer. He seemed oddly disconnected with his speech. He is saying only a few beaches are affected at this time... he is wrong.
He keeps saying he has been in control of the situation since day one! He knows EVERYTHING that is going on. How did he not know of Elizabeth Bernbom (sp) resignation-firing! What a fool he looked like when he again stammered over that question!
The Govt has known of the acts and deception of the Oil Co.s and because of their revenues they have looked the other way. Prior to this spill an emergency shut off valve was in the process of being a mandatory regulation! When the Oil Co.'s put the heat on the Govt they caved.......mths later the greatest Oil Spill in history!
Now I remember during his Campaign he really gave it to Bush over his ''late'' AND ''inappropriate'' actions after Katrina and passing the Buck to someone else! He is now seeing that being a President is more than talk and it sometimes is out of your control when a natural disaster hits or a Country is retaliated against! You have NO idea what you will do until put in that position and especially the position of the President! So, whose putting Lip Stick On A Pig now?!
If you do not know ask, if you need help ask, if the Past Presidents can help get as many of them in as you can, if the other countries are offering help For Gods Sake TAKE IT!!!! WE NEED IT!! What is being done is not working and if your trusting bp, Halliburton or Transocean all their major concern is to cover their own ass! I mean seriously their screwed to fight in the future against tighter regulations!
Another country may know more! We all know Japan is more knowledgeable in many things than we are use ALL resources. I even read an article that there is a substance that can be spread on top the oil and it hardens or will make it where it could be picked up in sheets! Maybe not practical, but try it!!! Do something that we as the public can physically see you do!!
I am appalled at the slow actions and 18 million gallons of oil and 87 million dollars so far and STILL there is no conclusion in site. There is 500-800 thousand gallons of oil spilling a day!
Coastal economy is threatened,culture is threatened ,wet lands in Louisiana is in devastation hundreds and hundreds of miles along the coast line. I have no idea what to do, we can all make guesses or accusations, but when the buck stops WE are not the ones who should know how to fix it THEY are! There should have been a plan-B for this exact situation! I expect them to do their jobs! I don't mind and have registered at several places to help with the clean up/animal care/anything......so President,Oil Companies and our Government step up and hurry up before its beyond repair!

This is why I never get riled up during Presidential elections. They all promise the moon, and then nothing changes. Same song, and we the public fall for it everytime.
ReplyDeleteI, too, have wondered why there was not a plan B for this type of problem, seems trouble shooters of some sort could forsee potential problems, and this should have been one. I swear, restaurants are more regulated than these pple!
Exactly! They actually just had the emergency valve mandatory and going thru the process then the Oil Co.s freaked and put on such pressure they decided it wasnt neeeded! HUH think they still think that (=
