Is anyone watching that "Rally To Lift Oil Drilling Moratorium" on C-Span
Edited on Sat Jul-24-10 01:49 PM by Tony_FLADEM
Instead of complaining about what BP did to Louisiana they are outraged that Obama wants to inspect the deep water oil rigs to help prevent this disaster from happening again.

Which Democrat are these people going to complain about when there is another disaster in the gulf or the oil reserves in the Gulf-Of Mexico are depleted?

And I don't understand what the Seafood Industry has to do with the Drilling Moratorium. I see these people attacking Obama as well.

4. OCP does run the world.
Honestly, Robocop was really a prescient movie.

3. Maybe this is too optimistic....
but stuff like this is so absurd, it may backfire on its perpetrators in the long run.

No one in their right mind is on the side of the oil companies. This is Corporate/Rich people vanity and foolishness at work. And they're pretty stupid.

6. I understand this phenomenon.

My state is being turned into a moonscape and it's hard to find an elected official here who is not promoting the process. At first you think it doesn't make sense. Then you realize who talks and who walks.

8. jayzus, if the government would have
taken the reigns on day one of the blow out, these bastards would be bitchin about the government not having the authority to step on corporate toes.
since the Obama admin waited until it was evident BP had a mess on their hands that they couldn't handle with out them, the corporatists are bitchin that it took too long for them to step in.

These people will never be satisfied, ever.

Wait two years and you'll hear the Seafood industry of the gulf complaining that the Obama administration didn't do enough to prevent the oil plumes BP insists don't exist.
