Offshore Oil Drilling and the Oil Rig Disaster in the Gulf

[hillary supporter]

And why is Oreilly calling her "governor"?
Shes unemployed.

You re too polite. She quit. For the tidy income of a book deal. And speaking.

[Timkin]

You would have to pay ME to listen to her !

Fox news with Oreilly are playing blame game,casually "blaming" BP and Bush and transfering all blame onto american people and enviroment groups as real bad guys.

They are trying to create sense of guilt over Americans,you see this happend because you are driving car and blame majority onto groups for forcing poor oil companies to drill in deeper waters.

Fact that Bush lowered rules for oil drilling and oil companies disregarding safety precautions is not a problem at all.
Its all your fault Americans.Shame on you.

[Bostech]

I am being sarcatsic,repeating Fox which is blaiming Americans for oil spill and no BP for failing safety precautions.

I am boycoting BP and that way will fix my mistake.

How can this poll currently have 78 votes (34 yes, 44 no) from 75 voters?  This must be JTA math!  

[stjr]

most of the votes were before the gulf disaster.  I think its a great reminder though.

What does that have to do with the math not working out? 

What's with you and math tonight, Stephen.  Two threads, two math concerns for you!

[Bostech]

Don't worry people,Joe Barton apologized to BP.Its all good now.

So,I think its obvious by now that oil companies run government and entire country.
Nothign bad will happen to BP at the end.
Obama with government made up deal with BP to create 20 billion dollar fund,to make it look like they will pay for damages and calm down Americans,but that money is pocket change for BP and it will not cover all damages.Rest of money will be dragged in courts over decades.
BP will keep doing buisness as usual,maybe under another name or merge with another company.
People in Gulf will get screwed for moast part,Obama will claim victory and more jobs created for Americans,BP will spend some of its money and stay in business doing same old.

Watching Rep. Barfton, the biggest oil industry whore in Congress, apologize to BP made me scream at the TV set.

A $20 billion escrow deposit is good insurance against BP pulling some scheme to go bankrupt or spin off a US company with no assets to avoid full responsibility for THEIR mistakes.

[buckethead]

Agreed, DW.

As I understand it, the agreement to deposit a total of $20B is preliminary (whatever that means), and the Feds lack any real authority enabling them to force BP to move forward with it.

[Bostech]

BP will not go bankrupt,they got about 185 billion dollars.They will hire lawyers who will drag payments for decades,20 billion is pocket change to distract people.
Rest of is show for masses.

I can not wait to see the SNL spoofs of the Republican BP cheerleaders this week.  The GOP is going to need to reincorporate under another name after this. I bet they won't let former Governor Palin into the new party.  Bill Oreilly's face while trying to have what seems like an intelligent conversation with  the wanna be VP is worth the price of admission.

[Timkin]

I guess I should not be surprised to learn that oil companies run the government.  Please take turns beating me over the head for being ignorant.  How does this give them a right to let a well flow (almost freely) for two months?  Is it ok with the masses that this is killing the Gulf of Mexico and eventually the planet if enough of this is allowed?

Dependency or no dependency,,, The laws in some sad way somehow protect the criminal?


Some one please help me understand this.  I'm not being a smart ass ... I simply do not get it.

I tend to avoid politics.  But I nearly threw up at the "republican" apology to BP ... ARE YOU FRIGGING KIDDING ME???

Fox news is continuing with BP propaganda.Now they are telling Americans not to boycott BP stations,since those stations are "owned" by "independent" owner and their families will suffer.

That BP sign doesn't really mean much,BP doesn't own station.

Fox news really holds Americans for stupid.

Are you saying that those "BP" stations are not independently owned?
