Is this Obama's plan? Sue or press charges against the only company who can shut this leak down? Shouldn't they be working together to plug the stupid thing then worry about lawsuits or charges later?? Is this his way to show the country he's on top of things?

If BP is going to be prosecuted for ,IMHO, appears to be a criminally negligent act, then shouldn't the lead Federal prosecutor have a look at what they are going to prosecuted FOR?
Or should he just watch it on TV and complain?
Umm..like you seem to be doing?

One thing is for sure, whatever he does, right or wrong, you will find fault with it for political reasons.

My question is why now when the leak is still going on? Obama playin politics. Obama hasn't been right about anything yet so I don't know how to answer your question strel.

As for sitting on the couch exactly what are you doing to stop the leak hero? Get on your wet suit and get to work.

Because it is a mile under water.

Because no one has ever had to deal with this before.

Because BP is the only entity with the capability to stop it.

There is no basis whatsoever for your claim about Obama playing politics, and in fact Obama has been right about quite a lot of things since he took office.

Not that you would notice, since you probably get all your news from World Nut Daily and other propaganda outlets.

Damn right you don't know how to answer my question.

Well your ranting response makes absolutely no sense. I asked why is holder down there NOW and you wail on about a mile under water and BP is the only entity who can stop it. Well that's exactly what I said to begin with. If what you say is try why is your communist leader trying to rock the boat NOW instead of waiting until the leak is plugged?? Politics is why to make it look like he's doing SOMETHING. Punish evil big oil the battle cry of the lefty kooks is being played out. Most southpaws are just mad it aint Exxon's fault I'm sure.

It makes perfect sense. You just don't like what it says.

How is this not BP's fault? What's in that Kool-Aid you are drinking anyway?

Did I say it wasn't BP's fault? Nope. I asked a question and you southpaws can't seem to answer it. Simple question. Maybe you just don't like the answer I provided myself?

The MMS actually approved what BP did so who's fault is it? Will Holder arrest Obama?

So why is Holder running around down there NOW?

Again, you just don't like the answer.

You aren't really interested in what is actually going on, you just want to take advantage of...well anything...to criticize Obama. It seems to be your raison d'etre on this board, as it is for so many other right wing loonies.

Just for the fun of it how about you providing a link that shows what the cause of the original explosion was. I guess I missed out on that. I am still not convinced that it wasn't caused by someone attached to, or paid by, the administration.
