Is the oil spill in the gulf a hoax, the chemical (corexit) being spilled on purpose to make Americans sick?

The unfortunate answer to all of this is that Obama does NOT want it stopped - he is going to use this “crisis” to promote HIS agenda of GREEN power/energy - he is using this crisis to his pathetic gain! Obama needs to be ousted from office as soon as we are able to - this is of vital importance to the future of this great country. Obama will use this as an excuse to “take over” the oil industry - give him time.

On June 15, 2010, President Barack Obama made his first address to the nation from the oval office. Hearing his address, several things struck me. First of all, Obama mentioned that when the oil spill occurred, he ordered scientists and the Energy Department to study how to repair the spill.

True to his big government agenda, Obama wasted time on the study while more oil continued to pour into the Gulf region. Secondly, Obama also said that we are running out of oil to drill. This is patently false.

The Democrats in Congress have actually banned us from drilling for 85% of the oil along the coast of the continental United States. This does not even include all the oil in Alaska or in the oil shales all around our nation. The fact that so much oil is spilling into the Gulf on a daily basis, only demonstrates just how much oil is under the sea.

Third, Obama said that he would not tolerate “inaction.” Yet, inaction is precisely what we’ve seen for two months. Since the spill occurred, Obama and Congressional Democrats have consistently blasted the oil company, British Petroleum (BP), instead of acting to contain or stop the spill.

If we dig a little deeper into the facts surrounding the spill, we will find that more than just oil is rising to the surface. The facts concerning the failure of the Obama administration and his big government agenda have risen to the surface as well. The Associated Press (AP) reported on Sunday, May 16, 2010, that the Minerals Management Service (MMS), which is the federal government agency responsible for inspecting oil rigs to ensure their safety, failed to enforce its own policies.

MMS was also less than truthful in reporting its recent inspections of the oil rig where the spill occurred. The AP reported that the “MMS officials said the last infraction aboard the rig, which blew up April 20, killing 11 and spewing millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, occurred in August 2003, not March 2007 as originally stated.” Apparently, MMS missed the inspection of the rig where the accident occurred and then tried to cover it up.

The article also showed that MMS has a poor record in enforcing the laws and rules put in place for safety purposes. The AP mentioned that: “The inspection gaps and poor recordkeeping are the latest in a series of questions raised about the agency's oversight of the offshore oil drilling industry. The AP continued: “Earlier AP investigations have shown that the doomed rig was allowed to operate without safety documentation required by MMS regulations for the exact disaster scenario that occurred; that the cutoff valve which failed has repeatedly broken down at other wells in the years since regulators weakened testing requirements; and that regulation is so lax that some key safety aspects on rigs are decided almost entirely by the companies doing the work.

MMS was so derelict of its duties that Elizabeth Birnbaum, the head of MMS, recently resigned and Obama did not even know that she did. He was caught off guard when the media questioned him about it. For years we have heard big government Democrats like Obama pride themselves on being the protectors of the people through heavy regulations.

Yet, all the federal regulations and bureaucracy did not stop the oil spill. In fact, the federal government actually helped to cause the spill to occur by not enforcing its own standards and inspections, and then allowed that spill to explode into an environmental disaster by doing nothing to resolve the spill. Obama himself could have lifted federal regulations, like the Jones Act, which would have allowed foreign ships to assist in the cleanup.

He stubbornly refused to do so, crippling relief efforts in the Gulf region. What’s more, the Obama administration’s head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Janet Napolitano, arrogantly stated that they have been on top of the spill from “day one.” If Obama and his administration have been on top of the spill since “day one,” then why has even the traditionally liberal publication, The New York Times, called the relief efforts “chaotic?

During the oil spill, while BP and the people of the Gulf region were struggling to keep the spill from getting worse, Obama attended the Duke Blue Devils ceremony and the World Cup Soccer ceremony. He took two vacations totaling six days, went golfing for seven days, spent three days conducting several political fundraising events, spent another six days campaigning, attended four commemorations and four sports events. That’s not exactly a leader on top of things since “day one.

Obama’s DHS waited nine days after the spill occurred before deeming it worthy of federal action. It also took more than a week for the federal government to conduct its first burn. These delays allowed more oil to wash ashore, which damaged and killed more shoreline habitats.

In spite of all the federal government failures, Obama and the Democrats are calling for increased regulations of the oil industry. How does this make any sense? If the federal government could not properly enforce its own current rules, what makes us believe that they will enforce a new set of rules, accompanied by another layer of bureaucratic red tape?

The federal government actually held back Louisiana Governor, Bobby Jindal, who tried several times to construct sand berms and barriers to protect his state’s coastline from the oil spill. For whatever reason, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers refused Jindal’s requests to build the sand berms and barriers. They claimed they wanted to conduct an environmental study first.

Once again, as big government theorized about the possible ways to address the spill, the spill grew out of control, all at the expense of the Gulf States, their beaches and their wildlife. O_O.

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.
