To date, the company which produces up to 200,000 gallons a day of the oil eating bacteria has not had their phone calls returned by Obama's White House or BP. -Kevin Costner has a small fleet of oil cleaning centrifuges at the ready. This device actually recovers lost oil. Again, Obama's White House is dithering and BP will not return Costner's appeals. Costner testified in front of Congress that he was ready to help on day one of the spill over 50 days ago. -The Dutch government offered to help with the spill on day one. Obama and BP told them "no thanks" over 50 days ago. The Dutch have fleets of oil recovery barges and sand berm protection floats at the ready. Over 50 days of dithering. -BP's first attempted fix was to drop a 4 story tall steel & concrete box on the leak. The siphon on the top of the box froze and would not take up the oil. Okay...so??? How bout leaving the damn 4 story concrete box on top of the leaking pipes? -A 1920 maritime law prevents the US Navy from deploying any assistance to the scene. Obama could wave this relic law of the sea and use the Navy's expertise in deep waters. Obama will not waive the law. Why not? If Ted Kennedy can call in the US Navy to find JFK Jr's downed airplane, how come Obama cannot call in the Navy? What is stopping him? -Governor Jindal has been begging Obama for supplies to shield his state's beaches. Over 50 days after the request Obama is still dithering. -Obama declared a State of Emergency for the non-existent threat of Swine Flu. Governor Jindal declared a State of Emergency...how come Obama has not? These are but a few of the many things Obama could be doing. Instead, he is looking for someone's "ass to kick" and feigning anger. During the Iraq War, President Bush sent in Red Adair's oil capping company into Kuwait. Red Adair's private company capped 628 sabotaged, booby-trapped, and blown up burning rigs in less than 9 months. Obama has capped exactly 0 oil wells in almost 2 months. How's that government boot on the throat of BP working out for ya? Post Comment   Private Reply   Ignore Thread   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest #1.

Some of us remember the hysterical mainstream media claiming it would take between 3 and 10 YEARS to cap those wells.

To: Badeye (#2) American Thinker is divided into two sections: blogs and articles. Blogs generally cover breaking news. We prefer to add value, in the form of analysis, links to related items, and other original input into recently- published material. Please keep use of quotations within Fair Use copyright guidelines. In practical terms, this means keeping quoted material under 200 words per item quoted, and substantially less if the original item is short. We cannot reproduce copyrighted wire service photos, and do not quote AP stories at all. Respect the intellectual property of those who provide the grist for your own thinking. If you rely on the original reporting of others, credit them by name, with a hyperlink to the source(s) you used. #67. To: war (#48) Keep hiding behind the bozo, bozo.

To: lucysmom (#9) I've read that. Whats really interesting is to note the wildlife returned, quicker than anyone predicted form what I understand. You do bring up an interesting point. Oil tankers are demonstrably more dangerous than any oil platform. Thats where the big problem lies. We need more double hulled tankers, but the costs are prohibitive.

There seems to be some questions about that www.evostc.state.ak.us/recovery/status.cfm If the cost of safety is too high for the oil industry to bear, then perhaps its an industry that is not viable any longer. lucysmom  posted on  2010-06-10   15:28:33 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #12. To: lucysmom (#11) Of course there are questions about it. I tend to go with the fishermen in the area more than special interest groups. As for 'no longer viable' that will never happen. Unless you are suggesting we end air travel, shipping via ocean going vessels and trains, not to mention barges on the major inland waterways, no cars or trucks. Good luck with that. Oh, and home heating oil.

To: lucysmom (#13) Have you asked the local fishermen about the status of herring fishing? I haven't 'asked' just seen some interviews on the anniversay of the spill there, and read a couple of articles. I always keep in mind the enviromentalists claims about the pipeline, and how things turned out to be the exact opposite when I view anything related to Alaska. I also think the residents of the state should decide what to do in these sorts of things.
