Reply #29: he could also stop being so eager to give out permits

[ima_sinnic]

sheesh--what LITTLE vibe or concern he does give off seems to indicate a preoccupation with "deciding whether to resume issuing permits" -- he seems not to be aware how crucial the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf Stream are to the life of the planet, or how URGENT it is to develop clean, nonpolluting, sustainable sources of energy. He's not showing any inclination whatsoever to regulate or limit drilling any more than it already is -- in fact, he wants to EXPAND offshore drilling.

oh, yeah, he called a "commission." big fucking whoopty ding dong. so all those permits all lined up, waiting to go, as soon as "the spill" is covered over by good PR, might have some new technicality that oil drillers can loophole and laugh about.

Looks like the oil companies bought themselves a president. He's certainly not MY president, or the president of anyone I know.
