There is an agenda here. There is so much more that could be done. Obama is trying to bring us to our knees. They want the gulf economy to come to a standstill so they will be at the mercy of the government. They are suspending drilling at 1500 meters, but not at 2700 where Petrobra is drilling. Soros owns much of it and they are allowed to drill. Guess who is on the payroll of Soros? Obama's right hand man- Podesta. This is all a coup to destroy our country so Soros can rebuild it. Watch his speeches. Who will be in charge? Guess who?

At last; a reasonable voice.

MAW - That's because Petrobras is a Brazilian company drilling off their own coast. Obama doesn't have the right to halt their drilling operations. Cynical much?

MAW: You are the inspiration for my purchase of stock in tin foil today. Where should I send your tin foil hat?

MAW is parroting the nonsense that I heard on Limbaugh this morning, that the Obama administration is dragging their feet on one of the worst environmental disasters ever to further some hidden political agenda. Seriously? SERIOUSLY????

Reasonable answer? another Stupid parrot,this what happen,when the Blinds follows the Blunder.

Till Now,there's no EXPERTISE and TECHNOLOGY amongst in Oil Experts icirlce in the Industry knows how to solve and fix this problem beneath 5,000 ft in the ocean bed when accident like this does happened.

At least as this Soros Guy, are smart enough and patriotic ,by not doing this " Idiotic" at his own backyard in the US Gulf but in Brazil,If this "blow up" does happen in Brazil,it's brazil problems,Since Protroba is a state own unlike BP ,brazil can't afford to be forever a permanent Bankrupt country,like unlike BP which they can afford to be bankkrupt and start fresh with their name name like GOPBP.

disappointed dem

Petrobras is a Brazilian company who is also drilling in the Gulf, and will need to stop like everyone else.

MAW-1297690

Get up to speed he sold off a lot of his shares, and was not the major holder anyway, the Brazilian government holds most of it. I wish people would get over Soros, move on find something else in your life.

Glenn Beck was saying the exact same nonsense. People watch him, parrot him and think they sound intelligent.

right.... who was doing these inspections on these rigs the same organization that passed BP's disaster.... that's why you shut them down.

And it was not illegal in the case of a national emergency... try thinking before you make up claims or regergitate rediculous comments made by a fat pill popping ditto head.

you have no business breathing.....so you stop breathing and Obama will stop being president..

How hard can this be? President Obama is not fat. It should be quite simple to fit him for a wetsuit. He can dive to the blowout preventer and cap the well. Oh wait, then people would complain that he was grandstanding.

Maybe if he did this under cover of darkness and sealed the blowout with a giant plug, and then had his office issue a press release that attributed the success to BP corporate know how. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I just can't understand why he hasn't fixed this yet. Hell, I have a 32" TV screen and the blowout is smaller than my TV. Looks pretty easy to me, and I only finished the sixth grade.

Must be a conspiracy. Yeah, that's it. He's going to destroy America for his Socialist, Nazi, Fascist, Commie, Muslim, Progressive benefactors. I heard there's a mural of this on a building in New York.

Gotta run. Glenn is on.

I agree with drive-by-observer. What exactly is it that people want the President to do, when scientific/engineering minds don't seem to have a clue what to do either? If people want to get angry at government, they should be getting angry at a failure to impose stricter safety regulations on private corporations, regulations that might have prevented or at least lessened the damage from this spill. However, as long as there is this angry contingent of tea-partiers out there who insist on describing everything that isn't completely unregulated capitalism as "socialist," misplaced blame and the potential for such a devastating spill to happen again are what we have to live with.

Nice retort David.... I can't believe these people exist let alone breed.

MAW, I deliver free meals to 50 shut-ins in our community every week. One of them told me today that he seen on TV that the White House was for sale. Literally for sale as a Washington residence. He was absolutely convinced that this was so and said that he would never have believed that something like that could happen in this country.

Perhaps you and my friend could get together and swap conspiracy theories.

Ralph,he got 2 BILLION from BP without going to court.That's an accomplishment.You and the rest could at least show something approaching reasonableness by giving him credit.

robby: How could Obama have done any of those things during the first two months of the oil spill months when he was vacationing twice, wining/dining the Mexican PM, Paul McCartney and who knows how many other celebs, criss-crossing the country doing Dem fundraising and campaign stump speeches promoting his failed economic policies, and playing undetermined rounds of golf and games of hoops (smoking and basketball is one dangerous combo, especially with his terrible genetic history). He refused to meet face-to-face with BP execs for nearly the same period. Instead of believing the lies that BP was feeding him throughout this time, he also neglected to convene an immediate summit meeting of every deepwater and oil rig expert in existence, both domestically and internationally, so that an effective plan to stop the leak could have been concluded without the inept, incompetent engineers at BP, AND WHICH HE SHOULD STILL BE DOING! It's never too late, is it? The man is a total disaster. He is wrecking the country on at least a half a dozen different major fronts. His plan is to ruin the country and then offer the federal government as our only salvation. God help us all. We will never survive to 2012.

Whatever happened to "drill baby drill" "We don't need any more Govt studies" "Too much Govt regulation" 'The Govt needs to get out of the way". These same people wonder why Obama hasn't fixed it yet??? Republicans remind me of children. They don't want you to interfere in their lives until they screw it up. Then they cry and complain.

I enjoy watching Hardball, and feel that Chris is objective much of the time. However, the Wall Street Journal polls are presented as a cross section of U.S. voters. This is an extreme misrepresentation. Note the name, "WALL STREET Journal", Rupert Murdoch. This is an extremely skewed population to the far right. Please report the results of the polls accurately, indicating that the population polled are readers of the Wall Street Journal, not the typical voter in the U.S.

This is pretty typical of the delusional, paranoid and baseless BS that parades as truth over the internet. Dude... Pull your head out of your ass and get a life.

I was referring to MAW's original statement at the top.

Rachel Maddow Story - The more spills change— the more they stay the same

http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=GHmhxpQEGPo&feature=player_embedded

How many have seen Rachel Maddow Story which compares this 2010 gulf oil spill to the gulf oil spill of 1979? June 1979 (and the gas shortage). I guess no one told Obama about the last Gulf oil spill.

How many of you have seen the 2009 film "Knowing?" The 1st scene of the Nicholas Cage 2009 film (Nick is in a series of NWO films, next is "Sorceror's Apprentice) can be found on youtube:
http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/watch?v=hmgeA3dr2uY

Watch it. See that the exact same oil rig explosion is in the 1st scene of this 2009 film. NWO lets us know what is coming.

How many of you now think that this oil rig explosion wasn't planned?

The 1st scene is exactly what happened on 4/20/10. The rig was imploded, just as WTC blgs were imploded by our govt.

11 master satanists, occultists, masons, kabbalists & witches were ea in his/her assigned spots by Strategic Communication Laboratories, London (paid by neocons) on 911 01: Bush, Cheney, Tenet, Ann (GWB's witch aunt) Cappelletti, Bill Gates, Giuliani, Con di Rice, Schwarzenegger, Silverstein, Soros & Saddam Hussein (not dead hidden) for the MEGA ritual. John (GWB’s witch cousin) Cappelletti's demo co planted nano-thermite in WTC for Silverstein. Obama is carrying on the work the Bushes started.

911 was a mega ritual. The perpetrators in the US government were not arrested or brought to justice, so they continue on their scourge of destroying America, squandering taxpayer dollars, further sacrificing innocents in Iraq, Afghanisan, Pakistan & anywhere else the military invades and occupies.

GWB held a book of "America" upside down on his lap before he read "My Pet Goat" to summon demonic spirit of his grandfather Aleister Crowley, 666, baphomet to initiate the MEGA ritual of 911. Burning gold/silver, letting it cool is just one ritual, many happened on 911. What happened to all that gold/silver beneath the WTC which was trucked out during the evacuation of the nanothermite stained steel which was shipped off to India & China within a week after the WTC implosions? Its buried & being hoarded by the persons involved.

Daughters of Aleister Crowley, Barbara Bush & Ann Cappelletti, conceived in Europe w sex tantra in 1924, b. 1925, gave birth to the grandsons of Aleister Crowley who stirring up the evil participants in this plan to usher in the coming of the antichrist & the evil desire to rule the rest of us of serfs.

Doesn't anyone care about anything anymore? These people are making a mockery of our lives, our future, God, our Father. The Iluminati Trilogy was written by satanists, by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea. Steve Jackson made it into Illuminati Card Game in 1981. The aim of the game is fulfilled when Illuminati build a power structure consisting of given number of cards, or when Illuminati (satanists/occultists) fulfill its special goal.... Look it up, see the game they have been playing. The WTC implosions, pandemics.

Barbara Bush Aleister Crowley:

I hear Barb admits her mother had a dalliance with Aleister Crowley in Europe. Barbara Bush and Ann Cappelletti are witch daughters of Aleister Crowley, conceived in 1924 in Paris & at Abbey of Thelema with sex tantra w Pauline Pierce & Ann's 20 yr old Sicilian mother for money.

I could list all evidence of the Bush Nazi connection. They are all posted on youtube. Lieberman wants to shut down the Internet so that we can't learn the truth. We certainly aren't getting it from the news media--under control of the satanist/occultist NWO.

Ron:

Your assessment is so right!

Bulletin folks...President Obama is NOT going to seal that well.

Short of sealing that gusher there is not a thing he can do. Polls be damned.

You're both full of it. People do not expect Obama to know how to stop the leak. But there are things he can do. Like accept the help other countries have offered in the cleanup effort. Why would he refuse ANY help with a disaster of this size? It's insane! So instead of collecting oil while it's still in the water, we watch more and more of it reach shore.

What help have other countries said they would provide? Who do those countries expect to pay for the help? And exactly what would you do that isn't already being done.

Clicker- You go ahead and listen to Palin...maybe you could go stick your finger in the dyke too. NOBODY has refused the help! quit watching that crap on Fox its messin with ya.

50% approve of Obama on Gulf spill (Cup half full). :-)

Veteran, on day 3, the Dutch, who are experts, offered to send skimmers. In addition, 12 other countries have offered help. That's what I and others don't understand. Why not let these countries help? That IS something he could have and should have done. Maybe, some of it wouldn't have made it to the beaches. BUT, he'd have to get the Jones Act out of the way, and he won't do that because of his union buddies.

Please point me to the newspaper of one country with a headline, that says we tried to help, but were told no thanks. I keep seeing this repeated over and over, but I have yet to see it reported anywhere by any real media.

Take your pick robby. I just ran dutch skimmers on google and came up with 2,750,000 hits in .25 seconds. You must be one of those Obama cheerleaders that is too entitled to have to make an effort on their own. It is just easier to stand up and cheer before you head out the door to the welfare line. Looks to me like they finally did accept their offer. Too bad they didn't do that on May 4th when they were first offered!!!!!

Right on Rob- San Diego. Just because Obama and his masters on the telepromptor did not tell his worshipers that he had turned down "experienced help" does not mean it did not happen. Open your eyes and do just a little "work" or research and You might think differently about the one you worship

I agree with Clicker - 13 countries and the U.N. have offered to send their ships and equipment to assist and Obama says "no we don't need your help". That is "stupidity baby stupidity".

The other stupid thing is that they could have easily fabricated a mile long hose and channeled much of the oil to the surface to offload on ships, but they won't do that either - they will just let it "spill baby spill".

On Dutch Skimmers:

The offer was apparently turned down because EPA regulations do not allow water with oil to be pumped back into the ocean. If all the oily water was retained in the tanker, the capacity of the system would be greatly diminished because most of what is pumped into the tanker is sea water.

I know the anti-obama camp is correct in alot of their facts and statements... but everyone has to understand they are very used to a president who is more than willing to do things illegally... or without supplying the whole truth.

In this instance, I definately would have said to hell with all laws and regulations and just done what was required...

But then i'd probably have that same group on my ass for that instead.

The "approval ratings" would have been the same.

thanks for the research - I love FACTS these days!

For those individuals who want links on this statement:
The offer was apparently turned down because EPA regulations do not allow water with oil to be pumped back into the ocean. If all the oily water was retained in the tanker, the capacity of the system would be greatly diminished because most of what is pumped into the tanker is sea water.

I know this is hard but keep reading Liquid Wolf. The EPA did finally approve it after realizing how stupid they were being. Too bad our POTUS was just as stupid or we would have had a 45 day start and a whole lot less oil floating around out there. I guess your position is you can't pull the race card, blame it on Bush, so hey blame it on the EPA.

proud republican-1888838

See No Jo, this man to me is a real republican, he is 100% correct. i wish you could like this guy put politics aside on something that is as ovoius as this.

proud republican thank you, do you think you could talk some since in to No Jo.

Proud- I'm sure I've dinged you on these posts before, but today I have to say you're a good American with a reasonable viewpoint.

You get my vote - PR!

Proud,

Thank you for restoring my faith in the Republican Party and those that identify more with the other side of the political spectrum. I have been waiting for weeks now for someone like you that, while I will not likely always agree with, but that I can have a reasoned discussion and find SOME common ground. I will not get on a soapbox and argue that my way or my party or my party's leaders are always correct on every issue. I identify more with the Democrats, however, I am an American first! I am willing and ABLE to set aside my feelings for what the other side has, or has not, done and look instead to what makes sense and is right for America.

I know you will likely come under fire for stating what many on our side have been attempting to make clear since this unfortunate event occurred. I know the inhabitants of the echo chamber will also say something along the lines of "sure all the libs rally around that RINO, he agreed with them!" and then they will want to run you out of the party as you are no longer pure and walk in lockstep with the more radical and extreme members.

I just wish we could set aside the rancor and realize that we are only hurting ourselves and the future of this country by focusing more on our differences and engaging in ad-hominem attacks rather than on what we have in common and is good for ALL of us. There was a time when that was exactly what tool place in DC and the halls of Congress. Sadly, those days appear to be gone, replaced by the days of filibusters and divisive rhetoric. God help us all...

If obaba is doing the best he can why was immediate help to contain and cleanup the oil refused? I believe he saw this "opportunity" to try and pass his cap and tax.

I to am a republican and I am also a gulf coast resident. This is not a democratic or a republican problem. It is a national problem. Regardless of who is and or was in the white house there is only so much that could be done. The problem is capping the well not blaming the politicians. My issue is the speed at which government moves and the red tape involved. I can complain about the democratic white house in this incident, but I also was critical of the republican white house during Katrina.......

well spoken. are you by chance a moderate? My only wish is that they could more people out on the shore lines. we might not know where to get anymore boats or supplies but there are people who can clean up.

As you know, I am a proud republican and dissagree with most of Obama's politics. Democrats are always wanting to take from the have's and give to the have not's even when the have's have earned their way through years of hard work, stress, sacrifice and risk. The dems want to give it to lazy ass people who do nothing. -Proud Republican

I guess everyone else missed this complete lie because PR think people should cut Obama some slack on the oil spill. Well, whoopie PR. Your other statement shows your complete ignorance. So, PR, where are your facts to back up this ludicrous claim? You believe a lie. You are hoodwinked, played, you know, being made a fool of.

Proud of Reagan, GH and GW Bush. They all must have made you really make you proud with thier astronomical deficit increases. I guess you were very proud when the republicans repealed the only laws left protecting our economy from the greedy on Wall Street in 2002 resulting in the greatest economic meltdown in 60 years? Even prouder when we invaded and occupied countries carrying out long-term wars and never adding one penny of the costs to the books. I'll bet you were really, really proud when when they cut taxes for the wealthiest, adding trillions to the deficit and then enacted Medicare Advantage for the wealthiest over 65 adding additional trillions to the deficit. How about how proud you must have been when Joe Barton apologized to BP.

You want to make general statemnts like that, back it up with facts.

funny how they defend how governemnt always got bigger under republicans, and how our debts always got larger

who's trying to ruin our country. To me it has been obvious it republicans and thier agenda, and inability to ever work with anyone else and shoving their views down peoples throats.

The republican party is leading this country into a civil war...and I think that is what they want ...

Proud Republican and Gus. Good to read some common sense views; now if you could just teach the media a bit of that realistic thinking, we would all be better off.

I do disagree with the taking from the haves part, though. None of us like to pay more than we think we should, least of all have it given to someone else but WE--republicans, democrats, independents of the middle class--are the victims of an out of balance tax code. My guess is that most of us here are middle class income earners, maybe some more and some less. We pay more taxes than do those who make millions because much of their income is in capital gains. Reagan inherited a 20% capital gains tax rate but felt that tax should be at least close to the level of their federal income tax rate--he raised it to 28% which is about an average rate. George Bush cut that down to 15%. Hedge fund managers who make not just millions but some in the billions last year pay at a 15% tax rate while the average wage earner pays 28% and has a lot less money to start with. So you see, despite the talking points about taxes, it isn't about taking from the average person to give to those with less, it is about restoring a fairness to the tax system. It is not redistribution of wealth to have a fair tax system with those who have the most paying their fair share or at least paying at the same rate as the rest of us.

Agreed... it's depressing reading comments on just about any topic in the news... American's are rediculously ignorant about everything. But wait..how could this be in the land of the free? We are free to be idiots apparently as well. 50% disapprove of how he's handled this disaster and I'm pretty sure at least 70% of the people who posted can't even handle their own finances let alone balance a check book. All these people being kicked out of their homes because they were stupid enough to get into a loan trap and they all just need more to bitch about, but hate to point the finger at the obvious culprit (BP) because some fat turd on TV or radio convinced them of another conspiracy theory. No wonder only really stupid shows stay on TV nowadays, Americans are truly getting dumber by the minute.

http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=GHmhxpQEGPo&feature=player_embedded

When are we as American going to stand together for the little person and not the stupid republican party that do not care about anyone but the big corporation. For the life of me I can not see why anyone would ever vote for such a bunch of backward thinking politicians. I do not consider myself republican nor democrat. But, I know when a party has my best interest in mind. It certainly not the repugnate ones.

Proud,

your statement that the president wants to take from the rich and give to the poor is a statement I have a problem with. People who are not paid a decent wage by big corporations are the working poor. They are not paid enough to fully pay for housing cost. Where I live WalMart pays their checkers a twenty-cents above minimum wage. If a person works an average of 30 to 40 hours a week, they can afford an apartment and bus fair to work or if they have a vehicle, gas for their car. What about food, utilities, clothing, and oh, lets not forget medical cost. The united States is a capitalist society not everyone works in a capitalist society. As a mixed race person, I am sicken by what I feel is the hatred people have against a man because his skin is brown, not white. The president is a man not a monster. IT seems people hate him because of his skin color not his policies because some of the comments made on this blog as well as others are simple racist comments and should not be stated at this defining moment in our history. I am neither republican nor democrat. I vote my best interest beyond skin color or should I say, the race of the person. If corporations would pay people a fair wage the government wouldn't have to subsidize the working poor by giving these people food Stamps, housing assistance, medical assistance, etc. The government is subsidizing the corporation when they do not pay their workers a decent wage. The people who work at some of these retails stores can't afford their employers product. As a middle income person who has been working since I was 16, I can barely afford my insurance cost of $1500 a month, housing cost, etc. because of the greed of corporation in this company. I went back to college recently and I am still under employed.

As a Florida resident, I am saddened by your news regarding a giant plume nearing St. Petersburg. These are some of the most beautiful beaches, bays, and islands in the world, with an incredible variety of wildlife. Dolphins and the threatened manatee have been abundant in these areas. I have been one of many kayakers who respected this unique environment. Having said that, I think that we need films of these wonderful animals struggling to breathe covered in oil and toxic dispersants to their death. This horrible catastrophe must be made real to those who call for continuing to drill.

Uncle Sammy? People have already forgotten the first few days of this disaster was spent looking for survivors/victims...

How quickly we forget and start pointing fingers...

It is obvious that you have never had to find a drilldship during an emergency. At a half a billion to build, we generally do not find them parked ready to be deployed. And once a rig is available, it must be moved on location and prepared for drilling.

Do you also think that the gasoline you are using comes directly form a "gas" well?

Your Uncle Sammy

Why would anyone sell their car? All of the oil that has leaked thus far, if were sent to a refinery and made into gasoline, based on the highest estimate for how much has leaked, would last only 5 hours in the country. That is no impact at all.

Most coastal scientists think the berms are a ridiculous idea that will only waste time & money. The berms will only create piles (baskets) of toxic sand that won't stay where intended. They'll keep contaminated waters trapped behind them & won't even prevent oil from reaching the coasts.

Why should we be doing that exactly?

Nevermind... You are SO not worth it.

I agree that the TARP thing was a disaster for American taxpayers and a boon for banks. Too bad then-Secretary of the Treasury Paulson and then President George Bush came up with the no-strings-attached bailout plan and then told Congress (including Sen. McCain and Sen. Obama) and the public that if TARP didn't pass, the world's economy would collaapse.

It's also a crime that the banks used this bailout to buy other banks and Main street businesses can't finance inventory or growth.

who created TARP...who started the bailouts.... dude it was Bush !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A bipartisan response would had Dick Cheney overseeing the govt. response.

Holy @!$%#. How about if we find out what went on in his secret energy meetings with big oil and others first, he may be one of the reasons this happened.

My God you had GOT to be kidding. If Dick can't make money from, shoot it, or screw it, he wants nothing to do with it. He's" been drilled baby drilled" one too many times. He looks good from a wheel chair, counting his profis from Kellogg, Brown & Root!

That Cheney comment is so friggin sad. I can'tbeleive a human in this entire world would ever ever even come close to saying something so profoundly stupid

and now that why that repuublican judge ruled in favor of the oil industry the other day for NO mandates. I didn't know thry made 'um that stupid in the military!

How about wave the Jones Act? That'd be a good place to start.

Clicker - why don't you google the Jones Act and learn that it only deals with shipping from a US port to a US port. This canard was started weeks ago by the talking heads regarding the 'offers from other countries' to ship material to the Gulf. Only problem is, besides the Jones Act having nothing to do with international shipping, the offers were not from foreign countries; but from foreign companies that wanted to be paid for their so-called volunteer efforts.

And by the way, BP is the party responsible for the clean-up. If the US intervenes on site and in effect takes over, does that relieve BP of its financial and legal responsibilities? See? Things aren't always as simple as they seem, are they?

And one last thing - it's "waive" not wave.

clicker

The Jones Act has nothing to do with the response. A FOX talking point only. Name one ship that has been refused because of the Jones Act.

here is a link to the US State Department listing of help offered and status. Note: 8 countries offered skimmers and four have been accepted.

http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/143488.pdf

If you check Mexico, BP bought 2 skimmers from them in early May, and they are currently working in the Gulf.

The Jones Act states that a ship cannot be used to transfer goods from a Us port to another Us port if it was not built in the USA or if it has ever been flagged in another country, no exceptions. How then can BP be using 2 Mexican Skimmers if the Jones Act has not been waived. Simple, the Jones Act does not need to be waived.

Again FOX BS talking points only. Another FOX conspiracy put out to pasture. Fox - Lies and exaggerations.

"This canard was started weeks ago by the talking heads regarding the 'offers from other countries' to ship material to the Gulf."

I wonder how many posters here think a canard is a yellow bird that sings real pretty...

Clotho, sadly too many! <grin>

He will do what was done in 1979 when Carter was President. Nothing. Notice in Maddow's piece. The same boom, hat & shooting junk into the hole was the same that was done in 1979. Gas shortage & price increase resulted, then Reagan was elected.
