How eloquently or not eloquently the President of the United States spoke about it. Great.

8. Is there a cure for 'Head Up Ass Disease'? Or a vaccine???
Why in god's name are there so few LEADERS in government? Maybe they have their heads up their asses because they are trying to find some damned GUTS! If our leaders don't have guts then why in the hell are they in office?????

3. You know, that silly threat wears very thin.
The Republican wasn't going to win, that's why no competent Republican even entered the race. The Democrat was going to win.

Not being a Republican is a vile excuse for being a piss poor corporate ass-kissing Democrat.

4. We do not have McCain-Palin ........ we have Obama
We voted for a leader, we did not want McC-Pal leading.

Very many people do not think Obama is leading. It is as simple as that.
The man may have passion but he lacks the ability to put it to practice.

6. I heard 2 Geologists on a radio show today say that they CAN'T shut the oil off.

I'll see if I can find link again.

The said BP and our Government are scared s_ _ _less, but they can't let the public know.

This is not gloom and doom... it's scientific fact. If the existing well pipe collapses... what you have is an oil volcano that will erupt until all the oil is out.

This could be a life-changing event for the human race on planet earth in terms of food chain, seepage into fresh drinking water... cancer causing agents in the air. Things we have never thought possible before.

9. I am getting tired of being lied to
That pathetic speech by our so-called leader was a bunch of hog snot. BP and the federal government knew this was WAY worse from day one. Now we are being told to pray for shrimpers and that the beaches will be restored to their original condition. Pluheeze!! That won't happen in our lifetimes. As for the the "new" estimate of oil flow, that is nothing new. Scientists have been saying that for months. Even a writer for, OMG! The Examiner!!! wrote about that a month ago. You can read it here: http://www.examiner.com/x-38220-Orlando-Independent-Exa... . If someone can sit on a PC and give the facts a month before the government, BP and the corporate media does, you have to know we are being lied to and conditioned to slowly accept the true magnitude of this disaster. Furthermore, there are enough toxins in the air from evaporating oil without burning more. Here's another: http://www.examiner.com/x-38220-Orlando-Independent-Examiner~y2010m6d15-Toxins-in-air-from-evaporating-oil-may-pose-greater-threat-to-Gulf-residents-than-oily-water This disaster is already out of hand!
