Oh I see, if it doesn't start off blaming Obama or the Democrats your eye sight goes.

I was listening to a guy today on the radio discussing how he was hired to go to Louisiana to manage 12 machines (which would sit on a barge), which would suck up the oil... He's been sitting all week, waiting for the environmental impact studies to be completed on the sucking up of oil. So far, he's received permission to operate one of the barges, and he's been there 2 weeks..

Thank you for letting us know that you're not just against safety being a priority, you're willing to shout your lungs out demonstrating it.

So let me see if I understand this....Out at sea, surrounded by oil, using a vaccum to suck up toxic fumes will have absolutely no affect on the respiratory? Thats what your saying with medical certainty?

And you don't believe that it should be known the construction of these barge and the safety to those running them around this massive oil spill?

BP is a villan right now and anyone and everyone who can claim injury while working on spill cleanup will do so. That's just the way human beings roll. 24 hours in the grand scheme does not justify . You might think that I look silly for going off on a rant but you look positively pathetic with attempt after attempt to link every human failure that takes place within the borders of the United States to Barack Obama. Talk about having too much time on ones hands.

They were NOT just checking for life vests, they were also checking for the person or person's that constructed the barge.

If this was taking place under Bush.. I dont think you'd be making up excuses to explain why one couldnt send out barges and then RADIO and ask them if they had life vests on board, and if not, send some out in another boat..

And let me guess... this was on right wing radio. Does that oil sucking machine also happen to be the Koseqs?
