We have Obama holding his boot to the throat of BP. The Democrats want a criminal investigation to determine who was responsible for the oil spill. All of the liberals are looking for a scapegoat. Why don’t they just look in a mirror to see the person responsible? The blame can be traced directly to themselves and the environmental wackos.
Who forced the oil companies to drill so far offshore and more than a mile deep? The Democrats and their far out left are entirely to blame. If the oil companies could have been left to drill closer to shore in one hundred feet of water or so we wouldn’t have this catastrophe. Capping an oil well in one hundred feet of water is child’s play compared to doing the same in five thousand feet of water. Divers, either in full diving gear or scuba divers could have done the job in a few days or less. The environmental damage could have been confined to a few miles of beach or less. The economic impact would be hardly worth mentioning. As usual, the do-good, feel-good liberal’s grandiose plans always produce the opposite effect. Instead of maintaining pristine beaches in local areas, they manage to pollute most of them at once; so much for good intentions.
Obama, using his omniscient intellect, has a solution to the problem. He has now stopped all off-shore drilling for the next six months. He has also postponed drilling off the Alaskan shores until 2011. He has cancelled a lease for drilling off the coast of Virginia. Who says he can’t take care of problems. Just maybe there is a schizophrenic or split personality side to his behavior. While taking care of one problem, he creates another. His solution only makes us more dependent on foreign oil, particularly from the Arabs. It will probably force the loss of thousands of jobs as the oil companies shift their drilling operations to more friendly shores. On top of all this, his solution will only cause the deficit to grow by many billions more but not to worry; we can always print more money. This is another of his solutions. Create inflation and our debt obligations will be paid off in cheap money – provided that the USA doesn’t sink under the burden.
Why can’t the Democrats and their environmental wackos realize that we should drill on land and much closer to shore? Oh, I forgot we don’t need oil, the sun and the wind will take care of our energy needs. No, I didn’t forget coal and nuclear energy but the liberals sure did. I’m sure the liberals have a solution to the wind problem. They will just keep on talking and that should generate enough wind to keep the windmills going.

What a waste of government money. You would think that NASA has better things to do. I wonder how much this will really cost.
ReplyDeleteWith regard to the gulf oil spill and Obamas' subsequent moratorium on oil drilling, recall that in his 2010 State of the Union speech, Obama spoke of drilling on our own shores. Several months later we have the gulf. He played both sides here. He supported oil in speech, then a questionable and largely unknown account of the BP spill occurred. Obama easily forced his agenda at that point while still maintaining his support for oil. Typical trickery by the Liberal-Communist types.
