"The Associated Press takes up the question whether the Gulf oil spill is the Obama administration's Katrina and concludes that the administration has acquitted itself admirably. The AP headlines: Obama oil response: aggressive as crisis unfolded. ......
Two things about the AP story immediately jump out at the reader. First, it is based on interviews with administration sources. It accepts their narrative and repeats it uncritically. Second, despite describing the Obama administration's response as "aggressive," the AP does not detail a single action taken by the administration that did anything to effectively combat the spill. Yet this doesn't seem to bother the AP; its analysis takes place entirely on a symbolic level." [Power Line]

Instead of blaming liberals , you conservatives, who have long been the champions of offshore drilling should roll up your sleeves, grab a mop and a bucket, and clean up the mess your “Drill, Baby, Drill” proponents helped to create.
ReplyDeleteFor years you’ve been trying to convince everyone that Nuclear and oil are NOW so much safer due to new technology.
This environmental catastrophe reveals that you know very little about how dangerous oil drilling can be. It’s only now we are discovering that not only do accidents happen to modern oil rigs…but no one has even has a clue what do in case an accident does happen.
Which leads us all to wonder how much you conservatives really know about Nuclear safety and what do do when a nuclear power plant has a meltdown.
I know. You’d probably just blame someone else for that too.
“Drill, baby, drill” What a joke
I'll pick up a mop and bucket to clean up the (so far non existent) oil on the beaches AS SOON AS YOU stop using all petroleum based products. .... clipper
