Theres a difference between a disaster that people saw coming, a week out, and did nothing until 3 to 5 days after, and a man made disaster that we were told wasn't that bad, until yesterday.
Since the news came out that its releasing 5000 barrels a day, the President has called into service everything he can, to try and help.
Sounds to me like the DHS wasn't prepared for a spill no matter what the size, I thought Obama was going to fix everything in the DHS and FEMA?
That's in Morgan City, not in the Gulf. It looks like they were moving the rig and nothing is leaking, hell there's nothing to leak except diesel fuel which isn't leaking either.
It's always a hoot to see people like Memphis1979 stretching so far, they twist themselves into pretzel shapes trying to pretend that one incident is "similar" to another when it clearly isn't.
Do you suppose he'll actually find somebody stupid enough to believe him?
Actually Obama has already called out FEMA and the Coast Guard and the oil companies are taking care of the spill. Too bad the oil company lied about how much oil is actaully leaking and how bad the spill is.
By the way, to compare a storm that killed over a thousand americans to an oil spill is stupid.
Did I mention anything about the toll on human life? NO I did not. So it is you who is taking the dishonest tact and claiming I am trying to claim a comparison to loss of life.
President 0bama had nine days to get federal resources involved to try and contain the spill, and he has done nothing. Now that the oil is coming ashore, 0bama is sending global warming experts, and other non oil drilling experts from his administration, and a team of attorneys from the Justice Department to New Orleans to "aggressively confront" the spill .
Yippee, we are saved, the lawyers are coming.
