I thought that I would just wait until the investigation that started more than a month after the explosion hit. Maybe the Democrat dominated Senate is more logical to listen to but not for me.

Blame tree huggers for this crap.


By the way, these tree huggers talk the talk but none of them give up their cars. Hypocrites.
Say WHAT?????

If tree huggers really had OUR way, there wouldn't be any deep sea drilling period.

The "blame" should go to the Republican administrations that reduced government oversight and regulation on the energy industries since Ronnie Raygun started our country on the road to environmental and financial ruin.

Actually Clinton when he signed the bill that limits BP's liablity to $78M but allowed the feds to force BP to drill in 5,000' of water, and whoever, was in the White House when the feds forced BP to drill in 5,000' of water. I don't have that exact info, though.

That is a silly thing to "say". Law is law, and we don't let victims write the law ex-post-facto.

Actually, that bill was signed by Bill Clinton, and I seem to recall him being a Democrat.

Bill Clinton learned to never cross the economic powers that be. He was a political coward that sold out Democratic ideals for personal aggrandizement and financial gain. He defines DINO. I am beginning to think President Obama, at least for his first term, is doing the same not out of fear but on purpose as part of his reelection process.
