Wow QM, you've been eating WAY too many mushrooms lately.
Calling you childish seems insulting to the many reasonable children alive today. I would say infantile is closer to the truth.
You claim we all "KNOW" these opinions you have about Obama, YOUR PRESIDENT unless you aren't an American. I don't "KNOW" any such thing, and neither do you. An opinion isn't something one can "know" it's something you "feel" which is why they are meaningless and useless, especially when peppered with the vitriol yours often are, more so when offered as FACT (the M.O. of Faux "news" and the right).
I wonder, why do you continue to call his administration an "illegitimate regime"? Is it that you have it confused with the illegitimate regime that held the white house for the last 2 terms (I submit that never counting the vote or rigging it with pre-filled electronic voting machines made by your supporters makes an administration illegitimate, dumbasses ignoring evidence and making insane claims about citizenship does NOT make an administration illegitimate, only your arguement and claims to intelligence).
I find it difficult to believe, with the nonsence you continuously spout, that you have been so successful in life that you are actually paying MORE in taxes under Obama than you were under Bush. It seems more likely you can't do that kind of basic math and are regurgitating what you were told by Faux "news".
I have not heard about troops being stationed at oil rigs, but since you seem to want to believe this is sabotage, wouldn't that be the smart move? Wouldn't you be screaming that he was an idiot who was asking to be "attacked" again if he didn't protect what you claim are oil rigs at risk?
You are correct that they have an excuse to regulate oil companies more, you are wrong to insinuate they needed another reason to regulate an industry that makes more money per quarter in the U.S.A. than most states make in a year, but pays little or NO taxes here, while at the same time causing billions in permanant damage to the U.S. because they are not regulated AND asking for government handouts, subsidies, infrastructure, and military support.
I guess "God" must hate red states, "He's" destroying them with floods, wind, oil, and plagues (plagues of idiots that is). (I'm just trying to point out the ridiculousness of the "God hates "X"" arguement, I'm an athiest.)
And to rain on your parade, I'm not an Obama maniac, I voted for Ron Paul. I am an American that supports his president both at home AND abroad, even when I don't agree with the plan. What happened to the right wing claims that partizenship ends at the border? I guess that only counts if it's THEIR plan or their candidate being questioned.

Here's what we do know.

* Obamarx is an enemy of capitalism, and Americanism
* His policies are failures, as were FDR's

We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work ... After eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started ... And an enormous debt to boot! --Henry Morgenthau, Treasury Secretary under FDR, after 2 terms of FDR's "New Deal".

* The environ-mental-cases hate oil
* Obamarx is conveniently off the hook for suggesting drilling
* His illegitimate regime now has an excuse--at least to themselves--to further regulate oil production, just like they've attempted to take over Wall Street, the auto industry and health care
* Whether the left admits it or not, we're at war with radical muslim vermin, iran and north korea
* Obamarx (wisely?) has sent stormtroopers to the oil rigs

The real sabotage is coming from the White House every day. Compared to the disasters foisted on the USA by taxocrats, a mere oil spill is a few drops from a leaking ballpoint pen.

GeeSussFreek:

BP and Cheney worked together to remove the requirement that offshore drills within the US have "acoustic regulators" that would be activated remotely, stopping the flow of oil at the sea floor in case of emergency. They removed the requirement because: "acoustic systems are not recommended because they tend to be very costly." And Bush said that oil rigs are already "fail safe".

How costly? $500,000.00

How much is this oil spill going to cost US taxpayers? $14billion

You may remember the secret meetings Cheney had with 100+ oil executives only 2 weeks after entering office. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Task_Force). This was one of the things that came from these meetings.

In other countries, however, BP is required by law to use these regulators. So, in essence, we'd all be better off if the US has nothing to do with offshore drilling due to the massive collusion between our gov't and the oil industry.

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.


Middle Aged Men With Swords Hacking Meat? More like Obama hacking the constitution with a hammer and sickle. Am I right quantum? Am I right?

Oh wait, wrong thread.

Thank you for reminding us all just what an asshole troll you are.

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.

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.

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

So by that logic, disaster relief is just Uncle Sugar handing my money out to all the idiots that built their homes too close to a burning forest, or a rising river, or a hurricane-prone stretch of ocean-front property, right?

I didn't cause the hurricanes, or floods, or fires, but my tax-dollars are being spent to put roof's over heads that I shouldn't be responsible for.

Following this to its logical conclusion, why do you pay any taxes at all? Most of what you put into the system it is not spent directly on you, so why put any money in? Seems like your liber-topia would be a derelict oil-rig, 2+ miles off the coast, outside of any gov. jurisdiction. Then you can finally be free!

Evan if English health care is shit compared to others , the key point is I don't want to be reluctant on getting help if I Think I am broken and have to consider the financial impact. and im perfectly happy paying a tax that covers other people who r more elikly to be in the shit than me , MY life is going to be far happear if the people around me are happy and not ill.

only exception should be for people that put themselves in ultra high risk situations repeatedly (dangerous sports , people that employ oil rig workers) thay should have some form of insurance ontop of things as they are putting a will full burdon on the system , then this could pay for our rescue helicopters and life gaureds and varouse under funded rescue services who generally do a really good job.

Decide which you want America.


That's the point.

WE the people decide what WE want on OUR land, not Bush and Cheney stealing it and giving it to the oil billionaires.

Personally i'll take pristine wilderness over grease spewing oil rigs any day.
