BP oil spill

[mjb]

what a fuckin shame.... i keep hearing now for weeks of the high-tech solution is to shoot golf balls and knotted rope into the pipe. fuckin do it then for christ sake!.... man this pisses me off...c'mon obama you fuckin panty waste, do something besides stand in front of the whitehouse and and rip on your country. fuckin asshole piece of shit! what a fuckin loser! one term good for fuckin nothin in over your head, community organizing fuckin bottom feeder!


well, i feel a little better.

Also what about those rednecks from Tennessee who came up with the solution to shoot tons of bales of hay into the water and it sops up the oil like crazy, floats to shore, and the bales are then collected with all the oil stuck to them. Seriously, I think it might work. Probably not 'high tech' enough for them to consider.

Exactly what is Obama supposed to do that he hasn't done already. Obama is not an authority on oil spills, so all he can do is rely on those who are. And guess what, no one has ever had to deal with an oil spill of this maganatude EVER.

So tell me Mike, why do you expect Obama to be the one with the answer? When no one in the business has the answer ?

What if BP has been lying ? OH, wait, they wouldn't lie! They were lying constantly since day one. How about how they said how much was leaking. BP was the ONLY ones who would be able to make that estimate. Only yesterday did anyone find out they were not telling the truth. I guess Obama should have snorkeled down there himself to find out.

[f.sciarrillo]

Obama is going to do nothing to try and fix it.

[lonewolf]

My favorite one was to pour heavy mud on it. duh?

If that pipe they keep showing is metal (its funny how clear the water is down there, isn't it), don't ya think that they could rig up a long flat clamp on a sub and just crimp that sucker?

[hannible]

You can be sure they are thinking of ways to not permantly close that hole...after all the money they spent drillin it! Obama is not the cause, but he must find a solution soon...they should charge all 3 of those CEO`s with murder and RICO.....oil dispersment is killing us all...like sweepin dirt under the rug...i like the straw cleanup method as long as it floats..

[lonewolf]

The cost of drilling that hole plus a new one is microscopic next to the liabilities they will face.

That doesn't even consider that every 3 days, a million dollars of oil revenues are spewing into the Gulf.

Sure he will!!

It just hasn't showed up on his teleprompter yet!!!

But BP Barry did get more campaign finance money from BP in the last 20 years than any other politician. Funny, we all thought W was the big oil politician, but BP Barry, only on the national scene for 2 to 3 years is the big beneficiary from BP buy-off money.

So Bill, its ok that BP was lying, they were buying protection from BP Barry.

I know Joe, and that dovetails perfectly with Limbaugh's assertion that Obama was behind the sabotage to blow it up. So he and the liberals could take over the country.

So I defer to my original response. Other than lonewolf's "Wylie E. Coyote" suggestion, what do you think Obama should do ? Why do you think Obama should be the "Spill" expert?

Joe, you seem to like "made up" Limbauish ideas. Maybe BP gave all of that money to Obama (who had NO reason to turn it down) because in the event that an oil rig blew, they guessed people would make that money connection and blame Obama for everything. After all, YOU did. Then they could get back the Republicans who they own back into office.

That's as plausible as your line of thinking Joe. In fact it makes more sense than Limbaugh's line of thinking.

[Hawk]

Obama is going to do nothing to try and fix it.

Again, what can he do besides defer to the experts? Should he tell them what to do ?

BTW, what administration was in charge when this apocalyptic rig was built ? I'm just curious because I really don't know.

For whatever reason, this completely and undeniably dispels the mythology that either one of the major parties is owned by big oil...

Both are.

[mjb]

hes not to blame for the spill, but i believe as our president, he was elected to make the big decissions, your trying hard to make this a partisan thing bill and i'm not, hes the big cheese and is the one who needs to put the big-time pressure on bp, hes the president bill we're having a national disaster, he damn sure ought to be involved at the highest level.... if its gonna take golf balls and knotted rope to stop it, then fuckin do it!

[lonewolf]

So I defer to my original response. Other than lonewolf's "Wylie E. Coyote" suggestion.

Having considerable education and experience with power, electromechanical and robotics technology, I say there is no reason this can't be done for under $1 million + the rental of a large robotic submarine.

Of course, the pipe needs to be metal.

When this is all said and done, somebody needs to design and build specialty robotic subs for just such occasions.

this would have never happen if he didn't lift the offshore drilling ban so technically he is at fault some. There was a ban on it for this reason right.

[nakedtwister]

My question is, should not BP have had a disaster plan, already in effect, before this shit went down? I mean it's not like popping corn at the movie theater. If you spill the veggie oil you clean it up with a New Pig mat and paper towels. It's a plan. So why the fuck can these assholes play with the life of the Eco-system with no plan of action in the event of a disaster? Things that make you go Huh!

[Hawk]

this would have never happen if he didn't lift the offshore drilling ban so technically he is at fault some. There was a ban on it for this reason right.

Huh? This was there before any ban. He had lifted a ban on east coast drilling. Which probably, given recent events, will never be started.

I understand what your saying. But how can he possibly know more than the oil people? For instance they say they're going to build this giant cement cover and place it over the leak. Do you think Obama should say, "No, I know that won't work, let's do nothing until we come up with a better plan. ?

Or do you actually , given that nothing IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND has happened like this, Obama should have more and better answers than the people in the oil business. Do you honestly think Obama should make the decisions, rejection the suggestions of the people in the oil business ?

Sorry, you did make it partisan by actually thinking and blaming Obama for not making the right decisions concerning how to stop it. Mike,no one in the world knows how to stop it, yetyou think Obama should ?

Please bear in mind that I am not picking on you, I treat anyone who spews political nonsense equally.

1.
Something like this has NEVER happened before.
2.
No one in the world knows how to stop it.
3.
Obama is a panty waste and a loser because HE hasn't made the right decision to stop it yet, even though NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO STOP IT!

Yeah, that makes sense.

[Bag]

Just dump a bag of kitty litter on it. It will be fine.

[mjb]

Bill, i'm glad you agree with me. means alot.
