91. Sorry but those who have been looking into oil disasters have been saying since the
Exxon Valdez that the other oil drilling nations seem to know exactly how to take care of problems, quickly and efficiently.

BP was granted an exemption form the same agencies that are used a dozen times a week to stymie the crowd trying to produce clean and cheap energy from alt sources.

BP got an exemption, and now that its rig has split apart killing people, and now that this gusher rises out of the ocean floor, it is obvious to those who have studied the problem for decades that expertise outside of BP USA should be called to help out.

Instead, Obama appears afraid of losing his BP campaign contributers.

mayeb no one in the world can do anything about this, but an attempt should have been made to pull together the rela experts fromoutside this country. Obama could have issued a call to arms of the brightest, most efficient and quickest response teams. Since Scottish government and oil drillers seem to know more than the American drill types, they should behere helping. Upon invitation of the PResident.

Instead, the way Obama has handled this only convinces the 60% of all Dems who realize that he is the serf of CorpoRATe Interests and that that is really what is going on here.
