And of all these posts you chose mine to tell me to quit arguing about Bush and Obama. Your post smels funny.
Yours was just the most recent one. I don't understand why we can't just try to fix what we can. For instance, Obama is the President whether you voted for him or not. Also, Bush was our President whether the people you are wasting your time arguing with voted for HIM or not. It is just stupid to keep rehashing the same old arguement. People that hated Bush will hate him no matter what you say. People that hate
Obama will continue to hate him too. We know that we need to try to contain this oil spill, so that is what the thread should be about, not your political beliefs. Yes, we are talking about what Obama is doing to help, but whether Bush would have done a better job or not is completely irrelevant.
Do you live in Louisiana and are for oil drilling in the Gulf? You are surely in the minority then.
I live in Lafayette, Louisiana. The majority of my relatives either worked in or benefitted from the oil industry. They are also hunters and fishermen. The majority of oil rig workers are also hunters and fishermen. They do care about the enviroment. What happened with this rig was either a major accident through negligence or a case of sabotage. Offshore oil rigs generates it's own underwater ecosystem with a variety of sea life gathering around the rig and benefitting from the rig. The animals that feed on the human waste of the rig go on to feed the predators and scavengers. For many decades, drilling in the Gulf has been uneventful except for hurricanes and even with the hurricanes, there wasn't an accident like this. That's why some believe it was sabotage by enviromentalist.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. The levee boards of New Orleans spend federal money meant for levee up keep on private purchases that had nothing to do with the levees.
Dave spare yourself. You can not educate those who opt for ignorance. I have tried, I have provided links. These fools will believe what they want to and to hell with the facts.

I too think it was sabotage. I don't know anyone that lives near me that does not. I hope they find out who is guilty and they are prosecuted. It is unbelievable to me that anyone would do such a thing.
You don't understand how the government works, do you?
The chain of responsibility for the protection of the citizens in New Orleans is:
1. The Mayor
2. The New Orleans director of Homeland Security
3. The Governor
4. The Head of Homeland Security
5. The President
What did each do?
Good post and of course you are completely right...but it doesn't matter.
Within my lifetime I don't think I've ever seen the left rewrite history with such fervor. Every aspect of the left's dementia comes into play, from racism to conspiracies to downright hatred for George Bush. Witness the nonsensical postings in this thread. People can't spew out their venom for Bush fast enough. What a weird way to go through life.

You are forgetting the fact that Hurricanes are sabotage also.
Our local CBS tv station provided coverage of the gathering of the caravan of boaters ready to go to New Orleans to help rescue the people trapped on their roofs. As far as I saw, it wasn't covered in the national news nor was those boaters being turned back by the state police. Some didn't go home. Some went around the state police back by going through back roads they knew in order to get into the city to help the people off the roofs. Had the governor's office let the school buses and boaters through then all those people on the bridge and in the Super Dome would have been safely evacuated completely within a few days of the initial flooding of the city.

Hurricanes do not blow up oil rigs. They have sunk a rig or two but in those cases, it never amounted to anywhere near this kind of damage to the enviroment which is why we suspect it was sabotage either through an explosive device or rigging the equipment on the well to explode.
