I made "an excuse".. is it valid to be concerned about individuals health, or not? One second its valid to be concerned about their health, the next, its just an excuse.. There is no hypocracy to taking out life vests and fire extinguishers.. if they are needed, YOU TAKE THEM OUT.. As you just quoted above, we're talkin about OIL.. Do you think its important to take it out of the water or not?

Oh my gosh, we KNOW what the reaction would be. They would have him up for impeachment on grounds of gross negligence and ineptitude.

We KNOW this.

That is why the Left epitomizes hypocrisy of the worst kind.

Just validation that what I said was accurate.. Again, had a life jacket or fire extinguisher been missing, one could have been taken out to them on another boat, while respiratory gear not the same due to the fact they'd be sitting out there inhaling all of the garbage oil gives off..

You tried to prove that both were acceptable, but they arent.. and your posting proved it..

Oh that triple lux spin,. Just doesn't work anymore sorry....

Try reading comprehension. I KNOW you were the one who wrote it like I SAID...I'm comparing why its important to ensure ANYONE working to clean up the oils spill are checked for safety and considering the Government apparently didn't know anything about the people operating the barge or the maker of the barge, it would be lax on their part NOT to ensure safety measures. So both are acceptable you just refuse to acknowledge it because YOU don't want to contradict the OP. I understand. Continue spinning.

Why are you just talking about the life vest and exstinguishers and not the concerns over the construction of the Barge? Your conveniently leaving that out, why? You don't believe thats a valid concern? Why? because its the Coast Guard requesting? If it was BP you would be fine with it.

continue spinning.

Obama is all about diversion and fraud.

It is in his blood.

It is the Alinsky way and is what Obama taught in college.

Because I would assume a barge would need to be licensed.. Again, why would you need to contact the builders of a boat which is already licensed by the government?

Is no one down there, or in the oval office using what little brains they have?

Of course Obama is late for the party. It is called lack of leadership and showing in inability to make the right decisions.

Something is fishy with it all, he is a master of diversion and is up to something else.

Remember who gave him millions during his campaign. Both the unions and big oil.

So is a speed boat, would the coast guard stop a speed boat with a Shopvac attempting to suck up the oil?
