Another Disgusting Oil Spill!!

Looks like they are building the sand bridges now and Kevin Costner may get to use the machinery he is promoting. Some of the pictures I am seeing on TV right now look pretty bad. Now they are just as worried about the chemical BP is using to help disperse the oil. BP said it is an approved EPA agent but EPA is saying they didn't mean for it to be used in such large quantities. And apparantly there is a cleaner agent sitting in TExas that they could be using but haven't started to use yet. I believe all these solutions are so tied in with special interest groups and politics that it will be amazing if anything gets done right.

The whole thing is crazy, I have seen a post that BP and the Coast Guard stopped filiming of the damage, that BP has illegals cleaning up the oil spill, the stuff they are spraying on it to break it up might be almost as bad. I disagreed at first that this is Obama's Katrina, but of course a month in and yes I would agree it is looking like it. The government screwed up, so if they can get that leak fixed fairly soon, my expectation is they will try to get it out of the headlines as soon as possible and BP will continue to be a major campaign contributor and then back to business as usual.

Personally, and this is just me, and how I feel about it. But if I were running the show, I'd kick out all the media. Every last one of them. They're taking space and getting in the way.

Will someone tell Costner that those "Risky Business" shades went out of style 20 years ago!!!

But maybe that is all he can afford after putting up 40 million of his own money to invest in his brother's invention.

Costo doesn't see to understand volume. It isn't right that he expects the government to pay for his little demonstration project. Those cute little machines would be great for minor spills but would be like trying to put out the chicago fire with a tucks pad with this mess.

Lets see how many Christians are agreeing with this. Also, I dont think it was an accident. I think Obama wants another distraction/excuse from his duties.

OK, you can probably tell bu my avitar I am not what you would call an Obama fan but saying he somehow set this up is almost as crazy as the left saying Bush pulled off 9-11. Will Obama use it to push his agenda? Yes, he is already doing it but I don't for a second think he or anyone else in the government caused it.

Same ole news this morning.
I guess I just don't understand the whole concept? BP is concerned with $$. Quite frankly stopping this leak and BP being concerned with $$ lines right up. This whole idea that somehow government (who doesn't do deep sea oil exploration) or any at all, would be more qualified or capable to handle this is just insane. Secondly BP knows EVERY move they make is going to be scrutinized over and over again. They're not going to play cheap so to speak. Because that will open up more liability, specifically for the collateral damage cap that is in place.

Ask you English teacher if 'tooken' is a valid English word. Try 'taken'.

I made you do what? I dunno Obama sent out swat teams to the oil platforms... He was running the same circles as domestic hippy terrorists, and it wouldn't be the first time elf did something... Not that I think anyone in elf would be smart enough to do that...
I joke I joke
the difference is we have chain letter liberals running the country...

There is no doubt ELF would do it if they could figure out how but like you said, nobody in that group is close to being smart enough to pull it off.
