Conservatives: How long did you wait until you blamed Obama for the oil spill in the Gulf?

I don't blame obama for the oil leak however I do have issues with the way he is handling it. I think it was 13 or 17 countries that offered to help. If that had been used it is very likely it would never hit the coasts.

See the Sweden offer below. There was a backup plan the government never used. Why was the BP emergency blowout plan lifted and given an exclusion 10 days before this happenned?

This whole thing needs to be investigated. It's more than just strange that right after offshore drilling was approved this happened. Too many on the left are happy about this.

There are other issues. BP did donate allot of money to obama's campaign. Safety responsibility shifted to companies The Canwest News Service also notes, “In a recent investigation, the Wall Street Journal found that the U.S. (Department of the Interior’s) Minerals Management Service (MMS), which regulates offshore drilling south of the border, has been gradually shifting safety responsibility to the oil industry.

Documents show that no blowout plan was required for BP’s sunken Gulf rig because of relaxed federal regulations in 2009. A Washington Post investigation concluded that in April 2009 the MMS granted BP a "categorical exclusion" from requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act to file papers on what it would do in the event of a blow-out at the new well. It reported that BP had lobbied for the exclusion just 11 days prior.

Moreover in its own assessments, the MMS concluded that a blow-out at a deepwater well in the Gulf would be unlikely to generate spills bad enough for oil to threaten coastal ecosystems. In 2008, the Interior Department took disciplinary action against eight MMS employees who accepted lavish gifts, partied and — in some cases — had sex with employees from the energy companies they regulated. An investigation cited a "culture of substance abuse and promiscuity" involving employees in the agency's Denver office.

Bush put forth 17 warnings in 2008 and the Democrats sat and fiddled. If U.S. officials had followed up on a 1994 response plan for a major Gulf oil spill, it is possible that the spill could have been kept under control and far from land.

Bush was blamed for his handling of the Hurricane. Now Obama is being blamed for the oil spill and his lack of attention to it. He is making it a political issue instead of getting the best and brightest minds together to get this done.

Half the people he has working on this project know nothing of the oil industry or even drilling at that matter. Oh and he is out golfing with Joe Biden and criticizing the head of BP for going to a Yacht race after being fired from of the oil spill clean up duties. Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
