So I see all the attacks over the Oil Spill.
What would you have had President Obama do?
Would you have had him nationalize BP?
Would you have had him take the operation away from BP and then go forward with inferror equipment?
Dont you think this is something that should be left to the private corporations to clean up? Is it not outside the powers of the Federal Government?
The constitution says nothing about the Federal Governement having the power to clean oil spills in the gulf!
LMFAOooo... It's really gratifying to watch pinheads being taught a lesson. When Katrina happened, Bush took it in the shorts for months, as pinheads ranted and raved about the slow federal response and blamed it squarely on Bush incompetence. Those of us on the right, already knew there was little the government could do, it was a disaster and those things just happen. The government can't solve the problem or make it go away... we knew that then, but the pinheads would have no part of it... in fact, Obama got a lot of campaign mileage out of criticizing the slow response. Now, just a few years later, we are discovering once again, the Federal government is essentially useless in a major disaster.... and pinheads are frustrated by this!
You see... Our government is paralyzed by their own bureaucracy. They have become a cumbersome inefficient juggernaut, and they typically cause more problems than they solve, when they get involved. You have all the assorted agencies and departments, with the assorted directors, heads and managers, and then the czars, and they all have to confer with committees and panels, do impact studies and focus groupings... and it may take a week just to figure out who is in charge, and they still may not be completely clear on it. This was apparent on 9/11, there was no coordination, no one knew what the hell was going on or who was in charge.
I think it would be very difficult to "nationalize" British Petroleum, unless you wish to declare a third war against the Brits. Ironically, the best people to deal with a crisis like this, is probably Halliburton... but we all know how you pinheads feel about them. What should have been done early on, is Obama should have federalized the disaster and sent the US Army Corp of Engineers down there, along with the best minds in the business, to work with BP in resolving the problem... instead, he launched a Blame Campaign and has literally done nothing but smear BP's name in the mud and threaten to sue them. Obama is a great TALKER... but unfortunately, you can't TALK the oil back into the ground.
