It's even more funny because idiots have been criticizing Obama for not getting it stopped sooner, like he could do anything about it but throw money at it, apply political pressure and make 'em pay for it... which he did.
That leak in the gulf, you know, the one that's been going on for like 3 months......

exactly, there is a certain class of citizens who actually think government can make things better, or fix these huge disasters overnight. Time and time again these people are proven wrong over and over and over, yet they NEVER learn.

everyone blamed president obama for not being able to stop it like he could swim down there and cap it, so it's only fair that he gets credit for it being capped.

i wanted to call you some bad name or the other when i read that first post, but now i get what you are saying. and it is hilarious! and to think i almost missed it
I didn't Blame Obama, I blamed shoddy workmanship, government regulators who look the other way, shortcuts taken to ensure greater profit. Obama couldn't pick his nose without 3 months of negotiations and a very close senate vote.

Huh? The republicans are still hearing shit about Katrina. Why should we hush this up? Why wasn't the coast guard doing more? Why didn't we use the merchant marines? The maritime navy? Why didn't he nuke the seafloor? What about Andrew? Hugo? Valdez? Natural disasters are certainly nothing new, but they seem to only get swept under the table when democrats are in office.
When government starts arguing politics over disasters this is the outcome....

The administration failed on this issue in so many ways. Why didn't the Obama administration:
(1) waive OSHA requirements that forced private contractors to sit on the sideline as much as they fought the oil spill?
(2) waive EPA requirements that kept the US from accepting foreign aid in cleaning up the oil spill?
(3) put a military person in charge of the clean-up in order to coordinate all resources?
(4) attach the Coast Guard and Naval ships capable of performing clean-up operations to the above mentioned military person (a general or admiral)?
(5) buy/rent as much boom material as could be obtained on the world market in order to keep the oil spill from land? (the oil is now in the LA marsh, meaning that the ecosystem of the marshes is now destroyed)
(6) use some of that stimulus money to hire additional personnel to supplement BP's laughable clean-up attempts?
Additionally, if I were POTUS I would have called up the C-suite at BP and told them that if they did not do everything in their company's power to contain the oil spill (which would have meant hiring more than the rediculously small number of people they have hired to help in cleaning up THEIR mess) ... if they did not put a real attempt at cleaning up this mistake I would use everything in my arsenal as POTUS to ensure they ended up in a federal pen with a homosexual rapist.
Going forward, why didn't the administration take a look at how to stop this from occurring in the future? Immediately they would have seen that the Netherlands allows offshore drilling, but only when an oil company agrees to dig not one, but two wells. If that had happened in this instance, within hours of the burst pipe the rig could have switched over to the redundant well, stopping the leak entirely. Also, the administration, instead of issuing their inane moratorium on drilling could have mandated that any future extractions would have to be done with a double-walled extraction pipe, and not the single-walled pipe BP used to save on costs. Oh, and most importantly, if I were POTUS I would be damned before I allowed a limit to be established on the damage claims that the public has to BP. All that did was reward bad behavior.
But you see, I think this is straight out of the whole school of thought to "never let a crisis go to waste". Mark my words, this spill will be used to pass legislation the administration wants and would be otherwise dead in the water.

besides waiving osha requirements (even in the event of a crisis like this), i think you should be president! that was the response i had hoped to see, just another way obama has let us down (we probably disagree a bit on what other ways he has let us down).
i really wish we did have a mandate in place similar to the netherlands for compulsory relief wells...but alas, too many people fall victim to the whole 'business does what's best and can self regulate' bs. some minimum amount of regulation and hoops to jump through is needed, even if we disagree on exactly what those are for a particular business/trade. it sounds like we fully agree here.
