The George W. Bush Comeback

Without even trying George W. Bush is on the comeback trail: Is George W. Bush about to start a political comeback? Written off as one of the worst presidents in U.S. history when he left office,... Wait a minute. I had to stop right there for a bias alert. Who decided that Bush was "one of the worst presidents in U.S. history"? A bunch of lefty academics and politicians. The people know better. Was he Lincoln or Washington? No. Was he Buchanan or Carter? Absolutely not. History will be much kinder to George W. Bush than McClatchey is today. Continuing... ...the 63-year-old Bush has been keeping a low profile, fading from view as the country turned its attention to his ...
George Will Smacks Down Bill Maher On This Week: Brazil Doesn't Use Oil?

Bill Maher was clearly out of his league Sunday when he made an absurd claim about Brazil being off oil for decades only to be corrected by a significantly more knowledgeable George Will. As the Roundtable discussion of ABC's "This Week" turned to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, host Jake Tapper mentioned -- without the vulgarity -- what Maher said on HBO's "Real Time" about President Obama not "getting more shall we say guff" for this crisis. Maher concluded his answer by erroneously saying, "I mean, Brazil got off oil in the last 30 years, we certainly could have." When Will got his chance to respond, Maher was left looking rather ...

NYPD Interviews Registered Owner of Car Bomb SUV By TOM HAYS, Associated Press Writer NEW YORK – Investigators spoke to the registered owner of an SUV used as a homemade car bomb in a failed terror attack in the heart of Times Square, police officials said Monday, but would not say what they learned. Paul Browne, the NYPD's deputy commissioner for public information, would not give further details on the owner. The 1993 dark-colored Nissan Pathfinder didn't have a clearly visible vehicle identification number but it was stamped on the engine and axle. Its license plates came from a car found in a Connecticut repair shop. Investigators were also looking Monday to speak ...

eports out of Washington, DC: PRESIDENT OBAMA in a shocking cheating scandal after being caught in a Washington, D.C. Hotel with a former campaign aide. A confidential investigation has learned that Obama first became close to gorgeous 35 year-old VERA BAKER in 2004 when she worked tirelessly to get him elected to the US Senate, raising millions in campaign contributions. Now, the investigators are searching for a hotel surveillance videotape. While Baker has insisted in the past that "nothing happened" between them, reports reveal that top anti-Obama operatives are offering more than $1 million to witnesses to reveal what they know about the alleged hush-hush affair. Among ...
Where is the left accusing Obama of ill will in oil spill?

Am I the only one that smells a rat in the oil spill? BP stated that this incident is "virtually impossible" as an accident. As in there is no way it could have occurred "as an accident". North Korea had a ship veer severely off-course en route to Venezuela, and came within a few hundred yards of this exact rig, a day before the explosion. And guess what company was contracted to build and support that rig? A South Korean company. Also.....Obama sat around for 4-5 days waiting on others to act first and to analyze his response and speech. Just like.....Bush did. Yet, Obama deflects any blame. And the Obama libtard zombies gladly bow to him and beg for forgiveness from ...
Stupid, Incompetent Obama Administration on the Oil Spill -- "System Worked"

As beaches in the Gulf States are being converted to repositories for raw, unrefined petroleum, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is calling for calm while defending the lethargic dithering of Barack Obama. As she did after the attempted terrorist attack over Detroit on Christmas Day, Napolitano suggested that the “system worked” when in fact the entire world knows that President Obama has chalked up another miserable failure of epic proportions. As reported in part at reference 1: “This was a situation that was treated as a possible catastrophic failure from day one,” Janet Napolitano, homeland security secretary, said on NBC. “We had independent ...
COPS: Times Square Car Bomber Got the Wrong Fertilizer; White Male in 40s Seen on Tape Near Site of Car Bomb Attempt

The would-be car-bomber who left an SUV loaded with propane and gas cans, fireworks and timing devices on a Times Square street also had more than 100 pounds of fertilizer, but not the kind that would explode, police said today. Praise for cops, firefighters and street vendor; manhunt continues for bomber. Instead of ammonium nitrate, the kind of fertilizer used by Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, the person who abandoned the van on the crowded New York City street had a metal gun locker full of a harmless fertilizer, New York City Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said. While it is unknown who the potential bomber is, or the bomber's motive, officials told ABC, that if ...
BP Told To Stop Circulating Settlement Agreements With Coastal Alabamians

Alabama Attorney General Troy King said tonight that he has told representatives of BP Plc. that they should stop circulating settlement agreements among coastal Alabamians. The agreements, King said, essentially require that people give up the right to sue in exchange for payment of up to $5,000. King said BP's efforts were particularly strong in Bayou La Batre. The attorney general said he is prohibited from giving legal advice to private citizens, but added that "people need to proceed with caution and understand the ramifications before signing something like that. "They should seek appropriate counsel to make sure their rights are protected," King said. By the ...

Every new media writer out there has given his or her take on the Louisiana oil platform leak, so I may as well wade in. Our President hasn’t a clue on how to handle this problem. Instead of calling for hardware and expertise, he’s calling out goon squads from government agencies that don’t have goon squads. He’s calling up droves of government attorneys to gum up the works. He’s got department heads and special assistants flying about willy nilly and no, not one of them knows a damned thing about an oil well, most particularly a deep water well. This administration’s idea of a response team is like a scene out of Alice in Wonderland. While Rome was burning, ...

HOUSTON, May 2 (Reuters) - U.S. officials closed commercial and recreational fishing for a minimum of 10 days in federal waters affected by the massive oil spill in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said on Sunday. The affected waters are largely between Louisiana State waters at the mouth of the Mississippi River to Florida's Pensacola Bay, the agency said. "Balancing economic and health concerns, this order closes just those areas that are affected by oil," NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco, said in a statement. "There should be no health risk in seafood currently in the marketplace." There are fish, crabs, oyster and ...
EXCLUSIVE: OBAMA SEX PERV SCANDAL

The ENQUIRER exclusively reports a "sex pervert" was Sen. Barack Obama's longtime mentor and "father figure". For seven years, the presidential candidate had a "father-son" relationship with Frank Marshall Davis, who has confessed to having sex with children, sadomasochism, bondage and practicing a wide array of deviant sexual activities. In his 1995 memoir Dreams from My Father, Obama identifies his childhood mentor only as "Frank," but Obama insiders later confirmed he was referring to Davis, a journalist and poet who was a pal of Obama's maternal grandfather, Stanley Dunham. Frank Marshall Davis admitted in his private papers that he ...
Oil Spill Worse Than Exxon Valdez: Oceanographer

The Gulf Coast spill will have eclipsed the Exxon Valdez in terms of total gallons of oil before the weekend is over -- making it the largest oil spill in U.S. history -- according to calculations made by oceanographer Ian MacDonald after studying aerial Coast Guard photos taken earlier in the week. MacDonald, a professor at Florida State University who counts "oil and gas development" among his areas of expertise, stopped short of comparing the Deepwater Horizon spill to that of the Alaskan oil tanker, but said Saturday, "The spill is growing. I'm comfortable saying that the size and extent of this slick is 10 million gallons." Given that just over a million ...
Oil Spill Grows, With Little Success Stopping Flow

(05-02) 11:44 PDT Venice, La. (AP) -- BP's chairman defended his company's safety record and said Sunday that "a failed piece of equipment" was to blame for a massive oil spill along the Gulf Coast, where President Barack Obama was headed for a firsthand update on the slick creeping toward American shores. BP PLC chairman Lamar McKay told ABC's "This Week" that he can't say when the well a mile beneath the sea might be plugged. But he said he believes a 74-ton metal and concrete box — which a company spokesman said was 40 feet tall, 24 feet wide and 14 feet deep — could be placed over the well on the ocean floor in six to eight days.

(05-01) 22:32 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House said Sunday that President Barack Obama was being kept up to date on the investigation into the apparent car bomb found in New York City's Times Square. White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said in a statement that Obama, who attended an annual gala dinner Saturday night for White House news correspondents, praised the quick and effective response by the New York Police Department. New York City police removed bomb-making materials from a parked sports utility vehicle in Times Square, including propane tanks and a clock suspected to be a timing device. They also removed gasoline and explosive powders from the vehicle. Police said an ...
BP Is Criticized Over Oil Spill, but U.S. Missed Chances to Act

NEW ORLEANS — Officials in the Obama administration began for the first time Friday to publicly chastise BP America for its handling of the spreading oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico, calling the oil company’s current resources inadequate to stop what is unfolding into an environmental catastrophe. As oil edged toward the Louisiana coast, fears continued to grow that the leak from the seabed oil well could spiral out of control. One official at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in a widely distributed warning on Friday, said the oil flow could grow from the current estimate of 5,000 barrels a day to “an order of magnitude higher than that.” The ...

(05-01) 09:27 PDT Venice, La. (AP) -- The surface area of a catastrophic Gulf of Mexico oil spill quickly tripled in size amid growing fears among experts that the slick could become vastly more devastating than it seemed just two days ago. Frustrated fishermen eager to help contain the spill from a ruptured underwater well had to keep their boats idle Saturday as another day of rough seas kept crews away from the slick, and President Barack Obama planned a Sunday trip to the Gulf Coast. Documents also emerged showing British Petroleum downplayed the possibility of a catastrophic accident at the offshore rig that exploded, and the White House announced Saturday that How far the spill ...
UF Expert: Spill May Spread To East Coast; East Coast Of Florida Might See The Worst Of The Impact

A University of Florida professor and oceanographic expert says he believes the east coast of Florida might see the worst of the impact of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. At the same time, state health officials say the chemical-like smell reported to be wafting occasionally across parts of the state, including Alachua County, has not been definitively linked to the oil spill but that they continue to monitor the reports. Y. Peter Sheng, coastal and oceanographic engineer at UF, said the six-day ocean current models released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reveal that the western coast of Florida, from the Big Bend to Cedar Key, could be spared. The oil slick ...
BP's Containment Problem Is Unprecedented; If the flow is not stopped, it will exhaust the natural reservoir of oil beneath the sea floor...

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico presents BP Exploration and Production with a problem of unprecedented severity — a limitless gush in very deep waters — forcing the London-based company to grasp for fixes that have never been tried before. The problem with the April 20 spill is that it isn't really a spill: It‘s a gush, like an underwater oil volcano. A hot column of oil and gas is spurting into freezing, black waters nearly a mile down, where the pressure nears a ton per inch, impossible for divers to endure. Experts call it a continuous, round-the-clock calamity, unlike a leaking tanker, which might empty in hours or days. "Everything about it is ...

Time to Drill Down Into Halliburton's Role in Big Oil Spill
Post Date: 2010-04-30 21:50:20 by Brian S

Under pressure from Congress and an inquiring media, Halliburton began a controlled leak of information about its role in the big gulf oil spill today, but things could get quite explosive if they appear to be hiding something. The WSJ (Russell Gold and Ben Castleman) reported earlier today that Halliburton "didn't respond" to questions about its role in the spill. That's odd, given that, as the Journal reported, an independent expert noted that "the initial likely cause of gas coming to the surface had something to do with the cement," and the fact that Halliburton "was handling the cementing process on the rig." Picking up on the report, ...
This Oil Spill 'The Bad One' _ Recipe For Disaster

(04-30) 14:41 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- What makes an oil spill really bad? Most of the ingredients for it are now blending in the Gulf of Mexico. Experts tick off the essentials: A relentless flow of oil from under the sea; a type of crude that mixes easily with water; a resultant gooey mixture that is hard to burn and even harder to clean; water that's home to vulnerable spawning grounds for new life; and a coastline with difficult-to-scrub marshlands. Gulf Coast experts have always talked about "the potential for a bad one," said Wes Tunnell, coastal ecology and oil spill expert at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. "And this is the bad one. This is just a ...

By SOPHIA TAREEN (AP) – 1 hour ago CHICAGO — Immigrant rights activists hope Arizona's controversial immigration law will spark enormous crowds of people to protest in rallies nationwide and add urgency to pleas for federal immigration reform. Dozens of marches are planned for Saturday in cities across the country from Los Angeles to Dallas to New York.
