The facts are the Feds had personnel on-scene the day after the explosion, and the administration was paying attention from day one.

The ridiculousness of proponents of small government retroactively blaming Obama for the country being dependent upon the well-drilling professionals working with the government for mitigating the disaster, as if our government owned it's own oil-well drilling equipment and employs rig personnel that could have displaced the crews of the well owners and taken over the scene, isn't lost on anyone.

Especially in light of what the investigation of the incident revealed about BP, Halliburton and TransOcean.

And while the mere mention of the ongoing severe consequences of BP, Halliburton and TransOcean's incompetence in drilling this well strangely but predictably produced a rabidly reflexive demonstration of Obama Derangement Syndrome from the usual, as if he were responsible, the facts are that the environmental impact continues.

So if anybody would like to address the subject of the thread, rather than using it as an excuse for another ridiculous outbreak of Obama Derangement Syndrome, have at it.

what is hilarious is Miss "government is the answer for everything" is okay with the government sitting on its hands for this MAJOR incident.
