but nearly two months, come on. The problem is this isn’t part of his agenda, this in an interruption. I thought about skimmers when this first happened and I’m no engineer and apparently the technology is available. This administration full of “geniuses” can’t think any better, couldn’t put useful resources and suggestions out there?
There should be no argument here… BP is most to blame for this accident. They failed at planning for the worse case scenerio.
Next to blame would be the President. Yes, he did not cause the spill, but he has the most power to control the situation now. He also failed to act in a timely manner. Even if his efforts failed he still would have been given credit for trying if he acted sooner.
Next to blame our ourselves. Our dependence on oil is what caused the drilling in the first place. You left wingnuts can complain all day about big business and big oil, but you are still driving your Escalades to work everyday.
Before you blame the oil companies, blame your selves. Before you blame Obama, blame BP. Before you blame Bush/Republicans, blame Obama.
I’ve not heard much in the way of lambasting Obama or the liberal left, except on Fox News, which by the way is right most of the time. The liberal media does not criticize him nearly as much as they did Bush.
That’s why they should be working with the geniuses in Saudi Arabia about this stuff. They know how to clean up messes like this. They have ample experience.
You forgot to blame the needless deregulation of the oil industry that occured under the prior administration. Remember Cheney’s secret meeting with oil company executives? Remember Bush’s cronies and prior life as an oil company executive? That is a bid deal here and should be either number 1 or 2 in your post.
I just thought Bush was slow, period. Comparing this oil spill and Katrina is at least 50% ridiculous and is an activity best left for 24-hr news networks and fat white guys who yell into a microphone for a living.
Again, first blame yourselves, then the oil companies…
Then you can blame whoever else you want to.
Although in my opinion you can only blame Bush up to a certain point for things that happened years ago. It has gotten to the point where it just sounds dumb to blame past actions.
It would be easy for me to say something like… the financial collapse was due to the democratic party when they forced banks to provide sub prime mortgages (which is the truth). But what would that get me… nothing. Obama and his Congress have the power now to provide “change we can believe in.” So far he has failed… epically.
I agree there should be a balance between regulation/gov’t interference and freedom/lack of gov’t interference, but we have yet to see that balance from the right or the left.
Bush was too deregulation and Obama is too much regulation. Are there any candidates out there who are balanced?
If so, please run for office soon and change the NORM.

I think the bottom line is, fix the dang leak and then get to the blame game. Obama and his cronies need to wake up and smell the oil.

Deregulation was such a great idea. The corporatist right should get all of our thanks. Profit over safety — time and time again.
The country should not be run like a corporation because corporations only care about maximum profitability.
