Obama has been in office long enough to have his people in place with the regulation and oversite that you speak of Max.

Additionally, requiring these companies to drill so far off shore that they have to drill a mile down just to start has made this problem far worse than it should have ever been.

If they had been allowed to drill in shallow water they would not be faced with so many challenges, and the spill likely would have been plugged far faster.

Plenty of oil right here in the lower 48 and Alaska that could be used too, with very little risk.

Obama has no idea how to lead, he only knows how to make matters worse. You have many examples right in front of you.

wrong ohhh chump. Democracy is like a blunt sword it takes years to turn. I don't think Obama has ESP either, to know that these guys cut ever corner there is and got away with it when they ask the bush boys for permission.

Fact the DOW has increased over 50 percent since Obama took presidency. Fact: GM, FORD and Chrysler are still around when they would've been dead under Mccain. Fact: he saved 80 percent of our banking industry from going tits up. Fact: Killed number 3 al queda man. Fact: Airline pilots now have a NMB with 2 pro union folks on board and one pro corp - just watch how many contracts will be signed and raises given. That last one alone should make you shut your mouth. I could go on all day.
 
The ONLY reason Delta or any other corporate entity does stuff like this is for the publicity. If they didn't think it would help cause one more person to book with their airline are gain another $ -- they wouldn't bother. They have public relations people who take advantage of and pounce on situations like this like a shark after baitfish., so no "how sweet" from me.

Things must really suck in your world. Try to look at the bright side of things. Would you rather have Delta do nothing?

Amazing

Currently the republicans are holding up over 90 of Obama's appointee's. So a lot of the government agencies are still being run by Bush appointee's.

I agree that the deep water drilling could have been prevented. But those decisions were made under the Bush administration.

Also the government has no branch that can handle an oil spill or a oil well leak. Those responsibilities were left to each company that drills. No different then if this well was on land. The company drilling is required to stop the flow and clean up the mess.

There is nothing our government can do in this case. Maybe a lesson from this spill will be that the Navy/ Coast Guard should have the tools to deal with a deep water oil leak. I would bet that neither the Navy or Coast Guard have a single engineer that specializes in oil drilling or production.

Please don't start blaming the current administration, when they had little say on were the drilling took place. They were also were left with zero tools to deal with a spill such as this. Maybe should blame Clinton on this one. He was the last President not in bed with oil companies. Maybe he should have tasked the Coast Guard with preparing for an oil spill.
 
Back to the subject at hand. These have to be some pretty stupid loons. They should already be nesting with their eggs in MN by now. They are just lazy Southern loons waiting for the Government and/or Delta to evacuate them. We don't need that kind of Loon in MN. Gives our state a bad name!
 
I should shut my mouth because my industry might have a edge over business?
Ok, you told me.

The govt had a pre approved plan in place with companies to burn an oil spill in a worst case, just like we have today. But the EPA and such had nixed this after the fact. Now we have a much worse problem.

It's funny how it's a one way street for libs to blame Bush for everything, Obama can do no wrong. Typical too.
 
If Bush would have been running things, those Loons would be marinated with herbs and spices, dunked in 350 degree peanut oil, fried for 3 minutes/lb, and served for lunch with hush puppies, creamed corn, cornbread, sweet tea, and pecan pie. That's how it otta be done. If those birds wanted to go to Minnesota thay would have flown their a$$es back there. I figure that they chose to dunk themselves in oil vs. flying back to MN.

Spoken like the quintessential SWA pilot. When I went to higher power to sell my soul to the devil. Those schmucks there made us all hold up "G. Bush in 2004" signs - during the election. We did this so they could take photos with Amy and Lindsey in "people dept".....I never got hired to say the least but this left a nasty taste in my mouth for how SWA runs things.

I'm just saying that us Southerners know how to make a bird taste good. That's all.

Just a minute sparky. The only fact you've proven is your constant stupidity. Stop watching msnbc for your news and information. You have no idea what would have happenedd to the auto industry or banking industry under a different administration.



Killed number 3 al queda man. Fact:
BFD. And continues to let North Korea and Iran get away with illegal nuclear arms.

Airline pilots now have a NMB with 2 pro union folks on board and one pro corp - just watch how many contracts will be signed and raises given. That last one alone should make you shut your mouth. I could go on all day.
I think you're the one that should shut his mouth. You're saying that for a fact that airline contracts and raises will be signed under this administration..........:laugh:
Look no further than spirit, or your own beloved Air Tran dumbass!
Maybe you should shut your nut drainer;)

He is obviously too angry to see the humor in the post.
