When the admiral on sight said on June 2 that oil skimmers are the best thing to have??

Where were they on Day 10? Day 20? Day 30? Day 40? Day 50? will they be near the gulf on Day 60?

Obama… The sit ON IT FROM DAY ONE and spin President…

I just watched his speech on CNN and his attempt to "get out in front of this" is still proof that he is playing catch up. He just needs to admit that he wasn’t informed as he should have been but now by playing catch up we need to put even more effort into the clean up and containment process and use "all" the help that is currently available, including foreign help.

Will Obama ever stop commissioning study groups and just DO something????

Obama… The sit ON TOP and spin FROM DAY ONE President….

Just one of the many shovel ready jobs that Obama has created.

1. Obama has wasted $819 billion of our tax dollars on a failed stimulus package and trillions more on bailouts. He is committing generation theft, putting our children and grandchildren in massive debt. Now he wants more. We should ban stimulus, bailouts and earmarks. They are nothing more than pork barrel spending to buy votes and reward his Democratic political cronies.

2. Obama is imposing the biggest income tax increase in history, placing most of the tax burden on small business owners. We should do the opposite. Taxpayers and small businesses are the engines of our economy. They create most of the jobs and tax revenue. We should reward them with a one-year income tax vacation. The cost would be about the same as Obama’s failed stimulus fiasco and would turn this recession into a great economic boom.

3. Obama has repeatedly violated the Constitution, highlighted by his refusal to investigate ACORN for voter registration fraud and the two Black Panthers charged with intimidating white voters in the 2008 election. He also opposes gun ownership in the hands of law-abiding citizens. We should respect and follow the Constitution, the greatest document ever created.

4. Obama doesn’t believe in states’ rights, ordering the U.S. government to sue Arizona’s new immigration law. We should kill the lawsuit, secure our borders, stop illegal immigration and respect states’ rights as the Constitution demands.

5. Obama has dramatically increased the size, scope, power and spending of government with his healthcare and so-called financial reform bills. His promise to lower health costs while expanding coverage is a lie, something that never was and never will be: a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society; either the costs go up or the free society goes away. We should repeal the healthcare bill and reduce the size of government, putting more money and power in the hands of individual citizens. We should fire overpaid government employees, stop all raises and cut their obscene salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America.

6. Obama has treated our allies (such as Israel) harshly, while treating evil rulers that support terrorism (Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela) with kid gloves. We should do the opposite: treat friends with respect and not give enemies the time of day. We should also do what should have been done decades ago: eliminate foreign aid to despots and adversaries across the globe.

7. Obama is spending billions on our failing public education system solely to reward his teachers’ union campaign contributors. We should eliminate the Department of Education and transition government out of this area. In the interim, we should move education funding to the state and local level and encourage vouchers to give parents the freedom to pursue alternatives such as home-schooling, private, charter and religious schools. We should abolish public employee unions and restore to administrators the ability to hire, fire and grant raises based on performance.

8. Obama supports the Federal Reserve and asks them to print ever-more money, devaluing our currency and stealing every American’s savings. We should audit the Fed, and make it transparent and accountable to the people.

9. Obama responded to the Gulf oil disaster with an oil-drilling moratorium costing 100,000 jobs. Obama’s tragic solution destroys the Gulf economy and makes America more dependent on foreign oil. We should do the opposite: encourage more offshore drilling and allow it closer to shore, where disasters can be more easily prevented.

10. Obama has expanded the war in Afghanistan, sending an additional 30,000 troops there. We should stop this no-win war. The original purpose and goals have been long since forgotten. Bring our brave troops home.

I could go on and on, but these are the main points of what he is doing wrong (the most important are at the top). Barack Obama is a corrupt, anti-American socialist dictator. He will go down as the worst U.S. president ever.

I did not write this but I like it.

He has indeed failed to repair America’s economic state. That much is indisputable.

Oh, liberals are amusing. I give them the truth, and they give me a thumbs down because they know I’m right. We all lose with Obama.

Thanks!

The three links below – 2 addressing cost and the other addressing the future recycling of the booms took me about a minute and a half to find and proof for relevance.

as owner of the Tex@ss rangers bush traded sosa….tanking the team.

he bankrupted 3 oil companies when the oil industry was booming.

his new budget……

Partly. But Americans can’t blame it all on Bush. We as a nation have been consuming more then we produce for the past 20+ years. All of our debt is not the fault of GWB. Alan Greenspan’s terrible management of the economy which led to bigger bubble after bigger bubble until we finally hit the big one.

De-regulation in the banking industry starting back in the 80s have also led us to this point.

Consumers never ending need for the next best things, and the fact that in this country appearance ios more important then substance (which leads to unsustainable debt) are also to blame.

Yes, GWBs wars and tax cuts have helped by turning what would have been a recession into an existential threat to the dollar as a store of value. 9.5 Trillion in debt is not easily ignored.

Is he partly to blame? yes. is it all his fault? Not hardly.

Los Angeles

The City of Los Angeles also known as L.A. is the second largest city in the United States in terms of population, but it also is one of the world’s most important economic, cultural, and entertainment centers. The inhabitants are 3,833,995. The city is one of the biggest entry points for immigrants to the United States, making it one of the most culturally diverse places in the world. People are attracted to the city for its warm weather, its lifestyle, its unique energy, and the opportunity to realize the American Dream. (1)

Geography
It is located on the west coast of the United States. The city has a total area of 1,290.6 km². There is also the Los Angeles River flowing through the city. The Los Angeles area is rich in native plant species. There are many exotic flowers and flowering trees that are blooming year-round.

Climate
The city is placed in a Mediterranean climate zone with mild, wet winters and warm to hot, dry summers. Seaward breezes keep the beach communities of Los Angeles and San Diego cooler in summer and warmer in winter, compared to those from further inland.

Demographics
The racial makeup of the city is of whites, African Americans, native Americans, Asians, Pacific Islanders and other others like Hispanics and Latinos.

History
Los Angeles was incorporated as a city in California in 1850. The first railroads came, when the Southern Pacific completed its line to Los Angeles in 1876. Oil was discovered in 1892, and by 1923, Los Angeles was giving one-quarter of the petroleum in the world.

In the 1920s moved film and traveling industries to Los Angeles and helped to further develop it. The city was the proud host of the 1932 Summer Olympics. World War II brought new growth, success and richness to the city, although many of its Japanese-American inhabitants were transported to internment camps (2) for the period of the war. During this period also the arrival of the German exiles took place, which included such famous persons as Thomas Mann, Bertolt Brecht and Lion Feuchtwanger. During the years after the war there was an even greater boom, as urban extension expanded into the San Fernando Valley.

Arts and entertainment
Los Angeles is sometimes considered as being the entertainment capital of the world. It gets the title of the cultural capital of the United States together with New York City. Its largest and most well known entertainment industry is film production, but it is also an important center for music, art, and architecture. In Los Angeles there are 4 boroughs: Hollywood, Baverly Hills, Santa Monica and Anaheim.
