Oilgate
Is it just me or is this administration being too naive ?

BP & Haliburton are stock-price-conscious private companies, they will only do what their attorneys tell them they absolutely have to do, the rest can be litigated in court.

If the US govt does not have the expertise to solve problems at a depth of 5,000 feet, then find a foreign govt or company that does, don't let this country hang at the mercy of BP.

We are talking too much and not acting enough, talk is over, time to act now !

ACT-1 / ACT-2 / ACT-3 / ... / ACT-N until problem is solved.

If this is not fixed ASAP, there will be no 2010 or 2012 for the democrats...

1. Having oil spill until this fall may be lots of political trouble for the
WH, not to mention to the folks to make a living in the area, and the environment.

3. there will be no environment, corporations or people
left, if the WH doesn't take control of this problem NOW !

It is no longer a question of who will pay for it, if they don't fix this now, we will all pay for it in some form or the other.

6. teabaggers, rush, beck, o'reilley, hannity, ...
are all salivating over this from a distance, they are writing their talking points.

They are recording audio & video footage for later use.
