did you read your own link? first off, the coast guard is exempt...second, you're not talking about maintaining law and order, you stated martial law in order to clean up oil...

the act doesn't apply to merely cleaning up and the coast guard is exempt anyways, so like i said....no and he doesn't need to declare martial law

i think that both the coast guard and the national guard are exempt

part of the problem relates to the laws regarding bp, a private entity

if the feds intervene, can they get paid back under the laws extant

there is no problem if obama wants to use military to clean up oil...are you now moving away from your OP question about martial law?
 
The governors of those states can declare a state of emergency, and use the Guard. Obama need not act for the Guard to get deployed, as it already has been.
 
NO he needs to come on the air tonight, smoking a big fatty and simply say $20 billion bitches.
Yeah, because that just made all the oil go away, sealed up the hole, made all his poor decisions go away, made the still poor decisions yet to be made go away. It turned all the oil to fish food and clean shrimp, made oil-soaked pelicans a delicacy... It's magic money.

It isn't the magic fix you think it is, Topper. That's all I am saying. You think that 15K per person is going to magically make all the negative go away, it hasn't.

Sure - because Obama can do all of that. Maybe you guys do think he's the messiah for real?

I'm telling you - the comparisons you are making are identical to the idea that Bush should have stopped the hurricane itself.

The hackery on this board, while generally high, has really kicked up a notch over the past few days.

:rolleyes:

I say it because Topper acts like that is what that fund did. The fund IS GOOD, but it doesn't make the rest of the problems Obama is having go away, and worse, if it turns out that the cost is higher it could actually cause problems for him.

It's not like I've said that the fund is bad or something, only worshipers can't figure out the difference, and only worshipers think that getting this fund made everything a sudden vacation on a Disney Cruise.

And no, the comparisons I'm making are clear. The problem still exists even with the money, a temporary distraction isn't going to make that go away.

The fun for politico's is that they get a slush fund for the next 3 years and remember Obama said they could always ask for more LOL. Being as we have seen how well the bail out money was dispersed...well. Also, there was that other caveat that the money would be used for "restoration"...imagine the wonderful political favors attached to those bids! The people as per usual will get screwed. If BP were to remain the only face on this it would have faired better for the people. Now, both the government and BP can play the people by doing the finger pointing game.

I laughed when I found out that this "Third Party, Independent, Fair" person that will be running it is his Pay Czar!
