3. Time for an executive order!

And he had better listen to me and do it, or else he is going to lose the upcoming mid-term elections a lot more than he thought he was going to.

5. Agreed

Obama MUST NOT back down on the moratorium. If he does, then nothing will have been learned from this epic environmental catastrophe.

6. All the right-wingers believe that the moratorium is making things worse

because there is no other outlet for the discharge.

7. That just makes my head hurt

I will probably be sorry I asked, but why do they think the moratorium make things worse?

8. I think they believe the chambers are interlinked.

Therefore, removing the oil from other sources will reduce the amount of oil that gets spilled from the damaged well.

10. That's not so bad

At least that theory rests upon mistaken science. That's better than no science at all, which is usually where the right wing comes from.

It's pretty insane though, the idea that we need more drilling so the oil pressure can be lowered in an orderly manner.

Good thing we're around to do that, I suppose, or the planet would be doomed.
