Part of Obama's motivation to go along with lifting that moratorium was to ease the demand for foreign oil, and therefore ease pressure on the military to maintain the oil empire, including the wars in the mid-east. I don't think it would be fair place much blame on him directly for any of those problems.

But that doesn't mean the blame game isn't going on...

As much as it pains me to say, Obama deserves some of the blame for this for lifting the moratorium on offshore drilling.

Obama lifted the moratorium on offshore drilling a month ago. I don't think they've thrown up any new oil rigs in that span of time. Though it does show just how unwise his plans were. Which is why he reinstated the suspension on new drilling.

The biggest disaster to hit America is Barack Hussein Obama. Oil rig fail? Shit happens. But the non-stop war on the American way of life from the Red House Regime is far more dangerous and insidious than some oil spill that will be forgotten in a year.


It's like someone hired you full time to inject as much retard into a post as possible. People with an undergrad degree and a PHD thesis in retard cannot come up with better stuff than you.

This article compared this oil spill to oil spills related to Hurricane Katrina in '05 and Exxon-Valdeez in '89:

Rofl, half of America could disappear in to the San Andreas fault and you'd still be bitching about Obama.

I hear ya, It's nauseating how irresponsible and short sited man kind can be. Make me ashamed not only to be american but human in general sometimes. 90% of the worlds people are completely ignorant to the long term effects of our lifestyle choices, the longer we keep this shit up the more likely we are to drive ourselves to extinction.

Sometimes I really fucking hate humans.

they should've checked the weather forecast before starting up the lift.

Rain, exactly. No fucking point in having the weather forecast in this damned country

So that every one knows. California will more than likely file Chapter 9 this year. They are hurting, the poverty zones are hurting.

There are whole blocks of Foreclosed homes, and whole subdivisions of nice homes that are empty only except sporadic families.

The influx of people getting degrees is causing them to flood into a straining work market. The work market is straining because of the other. They are mutually affecting each other and making the system worse.

How do you support an economy when 71% consumption makes up part of the GDP?

Like the trends forecast, it will likely get worse soon. Especially when China give the US the one fingered salute.
