He's one of the biggest blowhards in all of politics. -- nm - Don Homer May 26, 10:38
takes one to know one, I guess... :) -- nm - znufrii May 26, 10:35 1
- and short of Obama unveiling his secret stash of unicorn dust, I don't know how much more personally involved you can expect him to be in this. -- nm - znufrii May 26, 10:41
I'm torn. why should we (the US) be doing anything / spending anyy money on this. - ty97 May 26, 10:35 26
- BP should go bankrupt fixing it - Danedukenuuk May 26, 10:40 2
  - disagree. they need to keep revenue coming until for a good long time -- cleanup will take decades. -- nm - workmanda May 26, 10:42 1
    - and make billions in profit for it's shareholders -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 26, 10:43
- We should do whatever we can to ensure we still have an ocean, and then bill BP after the fact. - TFox May 26, 10:38 7
  - I don't understand what we can do that BP can't. - ty97 May 26, 10:40 6
    - we can add additional resources. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 10:41 2
      - My question wasn't if we can add resources (of course we can.) My question was what do those resources add? - ty97 May 26, 10:43 1
        
        we can add a lot more cleanup resources. a *lot*. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 10:45
    - nuke it from orbit???? -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 26, 10:41
    - BP has several patents in oil spill cleanup. - Beryllium May 26, 10:41 1
      - and was the main contrasctor in cleaning up after Exxon Valdez - Danedukenuuk May 26, 10:42
- I was reading something this morning that was posted here that said the government can't really get too involved. - Krusty May 26, 10:37 10
  - I have a hard time believing that. Has a state of emergency been declared? -- nm - loosilu May 26, 10:41 1
    - I don't know. Again, I'm only speaking about the law that prevents then government from taking over from BP. - Krusty May 26, 10:44
  - If Obama wanted to federalize BP, he could. - Strongbad May 26, 10:39 7
    - I can't say, I don't know about that. Here's a clip from the article I was talking about. - Krusty May 26, 10:41 2
      - Hmmm... here's my source. -- (link) - Strongbad May 26, 10:43 1
        
        To be fair, I was saying they're doing everything they can based on the law that is in place. - Krusty May 26, 10:48
    - Great idea! -- nm - Hugo Chavez May 26, 10:40 3
      - Way to read the IM. -- nm - Strongbad May 26, 10:41 2
        
        I read it. Seriously, why have that header? -- nm - Roger More May 26, 10:42 1
        
        Because it's being talked about in the media? -- nm - Strongbad May 26, 10:44
- because it will destroy the fishing industry, the wildlife, and tourism in the entire region. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 10:36
- you mean other than the fact that it's the worst environmental disaster in our country's history? - wheezy May 26, 10:36 2
  - The Interior Department waived NEPA provisions for BP -- nm - Strongbad May 26, 10:38
  - and oh yeah, these happen to be states that don't have a lot of money. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 10:37
