Obama refuses help of Dutch skimmers

Hey Damo - So are you ostracising ID still, or just skimming her posts? Looks like you missed some cogent points like the bit about already mentioning the Jones Act...

I was buttressing her argument with still more information and adding a link to information on the Jones act so that people would understand what we were discussing.

What is embarrassing is your pretending this wasn't going to happen. You truly think that after Obama's tantrum and childish ranting about BP for the past couple of weeks (prior to actually thinking about ACTUALLY TALKING TO THEM) that BP simply walked in and Obama talked them into funding the $20b.

That is what is truly pathetic about the messiah's worshipers. They will buy any story that is spoon fed to them. Only his devout worshipers think this is a major victory for Obama.

Again... stating that this is NOT a victory is NO WHERE near equal to saying that this is a NEGATIVE for Obama. It is in no way a NEGATIVE. You seem to be too fucking ignorant to realize that there are THREE alternatives....

Positive

Negative

and

wait for it....

wait for it....

NEUTRAL

The $20B is in no way negative.

My point is that it is not the glorified positive either.

Yet you continue to spin away and pretend that by saying it is not positive that I am 'trying to have it both ways'. It simply shows your true colors as a devout worshiper of the messiah. Willing to defend his ineptness at every turn.

Split that hair a little thinner ,why don't you?

So...let me get this straight...

The $20B from BP isn't a "GLORIFIED POSITIVE"...and it isn't a "NEGATIVE" either.

You've done quite the job splitting that hair, but you still got some wiggle room.

After all, maybe the $20B is a GLORIFIED NEUTRAL?

Or maybe its a SLIGHTLY POSITIVE NEGATIVE?

Or maybe its a SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE POSITIVE?

Could it maybe turn out to be a SLIGHTLY GLORIFIED POSITIVE?

Oh yeah, you still got plenty of room to make an even bigger ass out of yourself, just keep up with that ridiculous "Obama is the Messiah" rant!

LMAO.... hardly...

Let me guess the conversation went something like...

Obama: BP... what are you going to do to resolve the claims against you

BP: Mr. President... we plan to create a $20B fund to take care of the claims

Obama: BP... before you announce it, let me go on air and 'demand' that you create a $20B fund. That way I can get some of these people off my ass for not doing anything.

BP... Mr. President, we have no problem with that, after all... it was your administration that allowed us to bypass that last inspection that could have prevented this whole thing. So we owe you one. Make sure that when you 'demand' that we create the fund that you also threaten to 'kick our ass' again. Because that made you look 'tough and in charge' the last time you did it.

Obama... BP... that is a great idea. Thanks!

Here you go, you crazy righties! This is a fine example of SF, not trying to take anything at all away from Obama for this, and certainly not trying to imply that he deserves no credit.

Just ol' Onceler misrepresentin' everything again!!!

well I for one am prepared to give Obama major kudos......he met with the BP people for approximately 20 minutes.....that's approximately $1billion per minute, without discounting for the time it took for introductions.......

Twenty minutes?

Wednesday marked Obama's first discussion with Svanberg and BP CEO Tony Hayward since their oil rig exploded on April 20, despite the president’s four trips to the Gulf Coast.

The six BP executives arrived at the White House about 10 a.m. and remained inside until after 2 p.m.

20 minutes was the time the President spent with them. *Apparently he needed to attend a meeting of the committee on "Whose Ass To Kick", they're thinking of appointing a Czar I hear... Being in the White House is not the same thing as meeting with the President. If it was, I've been in "meetings" with the President many times as I visited as a tourist many times while I was stationed at the NSA...



*This portion is sarcasm and shouldn't be taken seriously, while I was stationed at the NSA, that is the only portion that is part of reality.

Against Gov. Jindal's Wishes, Crude-Sucking Barges Stopped by Coast Guard

This is more of what I was talking about, cut the tape man. Obama, just cut this fricking tape so people can begin the work that is absolutely necessary. Stopping something that was doing a necessary job to count fricking life vests? Geebus, you can send a sailor on board to count the fricking vests without making them stop.

Believe me, if I were the President the Admiral would have received orders to allow these barges to work, if he wanted to make sure they had enough life vests then he can count them while they are doing their work and then give them whatever they are short, but this all stop BS has got to end.

True, but according to you he was "Bush Two" and Bush was Satan incarnate.

(Although Obama has continued or made worse almost every single thing that made me despise Bush policy.)
