La. If you insist on supporting politicians that care about big oil and union busting than you will get politicians that don't give a sheet about you choking on oil. You want GUMMANT off your back, you got it. You want Cheney's deregulation, you got it.

So why are you beeching about Obama not being there? You supported the stealing of the election in 2000, and this is what you get. How's that Republican vote working out for you. Mary Landreau & David Vitter sucking at the Oil teat. Vitter chasing prostitutes, Great. You guys have those good southern morals, but oddly enough it looks like he is still your man. BP did this to you. BP did this to you. BP did this to you. Got it? FACE A FACT.

So what are your law enforcement officers doing? Arresting Greenpeace workers. You people are truly ignorant. How about taking a ship out and arresting Tony Hayward? That ever dawn on you. God your pathetic.

What to do:

1) Freeze GD BP Assets NOW!
2) Nationalize BP Now!
3) lace all BP executives in the USA in Jail
4) Demand that Britain extradite Tony Hayward and BP executives to the USA NOW.
5) Lacking that demand that they be sent to the Hague for crimes against the PLANET.
6) If Britain refuses, close British embassy and expel all British citizens from the country.
(either Britain cooperates or they don't).
7) Subpoena Dick Cheney and all participants in "Secret Oil" meetings in 2001.  Prosecute accordingly.
8) Bring non-BP experts in to solve this problem.

The time is now Obama.  You are either for people and our planet, or you are for multinational oil companies.  BP has no right to extract oil from our country and give themselves 62 Billion dollars profit in the first quarter.  Can you do the right thing Obama?

There voluminous quantities of good ideas out their.  All ideas that BP has refused to even consider as they continue to try to cover their ass.  JAIL  JAIL  JAIL.  You put people in prison for smoking a joint, yet these world criminal are free to ride in the back seat of their limos.  Explain that to me.
 
Within hours of the GUSH Obama should have seen to it that BP had put in motion a plan to bring all 24 of their emptied supertankers to the GUSH site within days.  The ST would begin vacuuming oil as it GUSHED, essentially eliminating 99% of the oil exploding out of the GUSH.  BP should have also been required to have other company's STs ready to replace BP's as they filled.  This game of tag would continue until the GUSH was STOPPED.

With the escape of oil dealt with via this ST vacuum squad,  all attention could b brought to bear on stopping the GUSH.  Of course methods should already have been in place, that is just common sense, but we should have known via our regulatory agency that they did not know squat about how to fix this.
Within a day or two a panel of non-BP experts should have been seated both to monitor BP activities and pursue plans of their own.  At no time should BP have been IN CHARGE of this operation.  We should not have had to listen to crap like "BP to not allow this" or BP "to not allow that".  What a load of crap that is.
If Obama's kid and wife and dog were killed by a drunk driver, would he allow that diver to be in charge of the investigation?  I think not.  So what the hell were we doing letting a repeat environmental offender run this show?  What kind of BS is that.
Homeland Security is a JOKE.  Salazar is a JOKE.  MMS is a JOKE.
So here we stand.  The Gulf of Mexico DEAD.  Millions of people's lives ruined.  Our precious ecosystem destroyed.  
We here how BP has spent 850 million on cleanup so far.  Wow.  Didn't they make some 60 Billion with  B in the first quarter.  This is a JOKE.
IT IS NOW OR NEVER MR OBAMA.  YOU EITHER STAND WITH ACTUAL PEOPLE, OR YOU STAND FOR BP AND ALL THAT IT REPRESENTS.
It is time to:
1) Freeze BP Assets
2) Nationalize BP
3) Demand that CEO Tony and his exec underlings be extradited (if they are not already here) immediately to face criminal charges.  If that is refused, they must go to the Hague.  If that is refused, then the BRITISH EMBASSY must be closed.
4)  As the Rethuglicans and Tea Partiers scream, you get it done with executive orders if necessary.  The people will judge as to who has done the right thing.  It is time for that to be the order of the day.  Not BS bipartisanship that leads to crap bills.  It is time for yo to do the right thing.
We demand it.
 
Note: I voted for Obama.

Now we have to listen to Gibbs feed us a complete slimy load of bullshit about the Feds response to this unprecedented tragedy.  A tragedy that could have easily been avoided if BP had been required to drill this well with a minimum level of appropriate regulations.  Regulations that were stripped by Dick Cheney and his Halliburton & BP cronies.
We knew that these regulations were not in place yet we sat on our ass for 34 days so far. 34 god damn days of letting BP run the show.  We've had to listen to reports where BP was not allowing the Coast Guard/White House to see video of the disaster as it played out.  (They weren't letting US?  WTF is that?)BP consistently lied about the amount of oil spewing from this disaster.  They consistently underplayed the amount.  Best estimates now say that the equivalent of one Exxon Valdez was spewing every four days.
Tony Hayward has been a complete jerk and Salazar is a cover your ass apologist.
Obama, if your kids and dog were run over and killed by a drunk driver would you let that drunk driver undertake the investigation?  I think not.  But alas, that is what we have let BP do.  Chat all you want, but the facts show that you have sat back and watched the oil spew.  Yippee, now we have a commission run by two politicians.  We all know how effective that is.
We need a group of Scientists that are not indentured to BP to tackle what just may be an unsolvable problem.  But at this point we have pretty much shown that BP can't fix and worse they (Tony Hayward) don't seem to give a shit.
BP should immediately be Nationalized and all their assets should be frozen.  Hayward and his smug corporate underlings should immediately be taken into custody and sent to the Hague for crimes against the globe.
If your new conservative buddies in Britain don't like it then shut down their embassy and freeze their assets.  It's time to take off the gloves.  This is 34 days after Obama should be finessing the issue.  This is NOT a time for finesse.  It is a time to throw down the gauntlet and put the fear of god into the corporate criminals and their pencil-necked smug leader Tony Hayward.
But don't send Gibbs out to lie to us.  It is insulting.
 
Spokesperson Robert Gibbs came out yesterday saying that the WH response to the tragedy was implemented on day 1.

Gibbs, You are a lying maroon (and I voted 4 Obama).  The WH response has been a non-response.  It is 33 days later and oil is still gushing out of that S>>O>>B at the rate of one Exxon Valdez every 4 days.
If a car  with a drunken driver ran over your kids and your dog Gibbs, would you let the driver conduct the investigation?
That's what we have been doing.  We occasionally ask BP's permission to even look at what is happening  If they feel like it they let us have a peek.
BP should be immediately Nationalized.  All their assets should be frozen.  We should demand of the British government that Tony and his BP executive underlings be arrested, placed in leg chains and scooted off to the Hague for criminal Negligence against the planet.  The ONLY luxury that should be afforded them is for each to have a pot to do their business in.  That will allow them to visualize and smell first-hand what they have done to our Gulf of Mexico and soon our east coast if we don't get off or A()S()S() and fix this.  It is priority 1 Gibbs, and don't give us any S()H()I()T that you were "on it" from day one.  It insults our intelligence.
 
President Obama,
Get off your ass and engage in this OIL SPILL.  This is actual TERRORISM.  Not some bullshit bomb in Time Square.  This is GLOBAL TERRORISM which is going to destroy our planet.  BP is a criminal terrorist organization.  We are coddling them.  When their CEO was in our country he should have been arrested him and tossed in a cell with ankle locks and a pot to crap in.  We should have put out a statement that when the well was capped and gulf was cleaned we would release this criminal back to his homeland.
Nationalize BP.  Kick their asses out of our hemisphere.  Tell the right wing jerks in Britain that just formed their cute little coalition government to stuff it up their arses.  We are Nationalizing their GD company and condemning them and asking for a criminal trial at the Hague for crimes against the world.
You got a better idea?  If so try not to take another GD month to implement it.  Once again you lose another piece of your base as you grovel to the corporate right.
Like Sarah says, maybe that "Hopey Changey" thing ain't working out so well.  It's like you want to lose the 2012 election.  Any chance of that?

Reagan Killed 400 marines then the NEXT DAY he invaded Granada to capture 15 Cubans with shovels.  Then he allows Oliver North to sell arms to IRAN. The IRANIANS pulled the trigger that killed those 400 marines that Reagan left in Beirut without a mission.  Then he's selling our arms to an enemy.  Than he funnels that money into Nicaragua to support a pack of right wing thugs and murderers that are trying to steal a country and an election.
He raised taxes and he doubled  the debt.

There's your god damn hero.  He should have been thrown in prison for treason against our country.
====================================================================================================
 
Our war is in the Gulf of Mexico, where 1 Valdez is spewing out every 4 days.  In all likelihood, the Gulf of Mexico is dead.  If the oil rounds the Florida Keys, and gets into the Gulf Stream, I fear that life on the planet will become unsustainable rapidly.  The world can only be as healthy as its oceans.
So, on the odd chance that it is not too late, can we not re-frame the real battle?  We must nurture this planet soon or we won't need to worry about medicare or social safety nets or Wall Street or Tiger Woods or Justin Bieber or whether the next tour will be the Stones last or...
None of that will matter unless we decide to spend our money on what matters.  And 2 things that DON'T matter are Iraq & Afghanistan.  So, let's cut that bloated military budget in half and start taking CARE of things.
