There's outrage. Don't you watch MSNBC? CNN? Are you on facebook? The outrage is directed where it should be. At BP for siphoning off 5000 barrels a day and letting the other 40,000 to 100,000 flow into the gulf. They could have blocked the leak and just closed it up by now. It's been a month already for god sakes. It's ridiculous. And if Bush were President, since he and his VP Cheney are oil men, they would have received some of the anger, of course. Meanwhile, the left is already angry at Obama for not doing enough to force BP to MAKE IT STOP.

There's outrage. You're just ignoring it if you aren't seeing it. Or you're just mad because you'd love to see more people bash Obama. Or maybe you don't notice the outrage for another reason. But it's there, open your eyes.

Are you watching FOX? Aren't they covering the disastor?

Actually I heard about CBS going out in a boat in the gulf and BP telling them to stop filming......

I just turned on FOX to see what they are talking about and it's immigration, of course. They say there's a war going on between Arizona and the USA.

So stupid.

Maybe too many people on this board watch FOX and that's why they aren't making threads about the oil disastor.

Here's something to be outraged about. Rand Paul says Obama is being to tough on BP.

And just what do the outraged propose BP do about it?

Or does MSLSD not cover the small junkyard of stuff BP has lowered into the thing that hasn't worked?

You must be watching some alternate reality TV or something.
Or are not sure of the meaning of "outrage"...I never said it wasn't being covered, it is..pretty much 20 times a day...but the coverage is just covering anything new on the story or making a big deal of the circus act called congressional hearings - like anything is going to be solved by that.
The US military should have already taken over the area and US teams should have closed it weeks ago...period. It is outrages that this has not happened...and the only reason it hasn't is because the administration doesn't have the political balls to take over a British owned site.

How about block it off? Shut it down? Close it up?

Instead they are trying - FOR A WHOLE MONTH - to siphen the oil off to make money off it. They are siphoning off 5000 barrels a day right now. That's the amount they've been telling us was leaking. But that's only a small bit of what's flowing into the gulf. There's 45,000 to 100,000 more barrels a day filling the Gulf of Mexico, seeping into the wetlands of Louisiana. Killing all the living creatures.

And if that wasn't bad enough, BP is pumping thousands of gallons of dispersant which the EPA is telling them to STOP. It's deadly and toxic and just making it worse.

They say they might close it up next week.


DO IT NOW BP.

WTF.

the rig is in international waters, we do not have any authority to seize the leak, it is BP's problem and they should fix it. We can stop giving them permits to drill, but drilling is what republicans, industrialist and capitalist want. they don't care about the environment, peoples lives, all they care about is profit.

Again, just what is the military going to do?

I'm not saying they shouldn't, just that they need a game plan first.

The only outrage would be from the right calling him a socialist if he did that.

So you must not like Rand Paul very much. He thinks Obama's being too tough on BP.

I guess Rand Paul is watching the same alternate reality TV as I am.

Sorry you've missed all that the Obama admin's doing.

By the way, did you know that Obama has appointed hundreds of people to hundreds of positions and the Republicans are blocking all of them? Did you know that the Interior Dept is still filled with all Bush admin appointments? The Office of Mineral Management is full of Bushies.

When do you think the Republicans will stop holding up our government?

I love people who can't wait to blame Obama for everything, without even doing research and finding out what the possibilities are.
