The Sneaky Truth in the Gulf
I told everyone we need to watch the president and his actions in accordance to this BP incident. We should be watching him with the Hubble Telescope and commenting on every step. I wasn't sure what the president was going for when he withheld federal help in the BP spill. I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist; moreover, are we to believe our President isn't taking the advice from Clowered and Piven?
Our President declared, "the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has hardened his resolve to impose 'a price' on carbon emissions." Way to slip this into the mix, Mr President. Our economy is in shambles, our small business are suffering with a 40 percent tax, and job loss is slowly drifting higher and you want higher taxes?. How does another cost to our business benefit our situation IN ANY WAY! It is very sad to see our coast destroyed by oil; WHY DID OBAMA WAIT TEN DAYS BEFORE SENDING FEDERAL AID?!
The EPA requires a Facility Response Plan, that must be submitted by all parties involved with oil. The response plan must contain specific actions to immediately respond to a worst case scenario oil spill. I believe we are in worst case scenario. This plan requires the immediate communication and response from FEDERAL authorities. Ten days is immediate? Oh, how was your golf trip Barack?

Very good point! It would seem that the Feds have been doing everything they can to cause an oil disaster on our shores, and they got one. From letting BP get away with not following protocol to the delayed response to the spill, once again our progressive friends have shown how "environmentally" friendly they are. And the golden nugget they are going to get from this duck is the renewed push for their tax and rape bill on the American people.
The sad thing is that like every other problem the government says it needs to come in and fix, this one was caused by the government. Since the oil spike of the 70's we have used economic and military force to keep our cost on oil well below what the free market would have charged. So they complain about our excess oil consumption, but their beloved President Carter was man who started using force for cheap oil. Pres. Carter ordered the stationing of a Navy battle group in the Persian Gulf to ensure that supply lines are never disrupted again and to "encourage" the local governments to play nice. That was followed by OUR gov. spending billions of OUR money upgrading Saudi Arabia with roads, homes, hospitals, garbage service, etc.(funny side note is that Halliburton Corp. was awarded most of those contracts. Hmm.) Why? Because our government told the Saudi's we don't ever want a price spike like that again so take our bribe.
So into the present day here we have the radicals clamoring for carbon taxes and preaching environmentalism. Please. Also, if anyone wants a great book on our gov. involvement in the middle east over the past 50 years I highly recommend the book, "The Economic Hitman".
Thank you for your comment Andy H you bring some complementing material to the table. I also suggest the book, "Economic Hitman".
