Yes, they should have drilled closer to shore, so that the Right-wingers here talking about how the comics here about flooded beaches and damaged tourism could really be wrong [since it would have happened closer to shore and definitely would have made landfall by now].
Accidents happen, regardless of their location. Nobody wants this stuff in their back yard. No one wants a nuclear plant in their back yard, no one wants terrorists in a prison in their back yard. No one wants anything in their back yard, it’s always got to be in someone else’s back yard, regardless of which side of the fence it’s on. But yes, that obviously makes it Obama’s fault. >.>
Ahhh, Okay then. Fine then. I can go with that. And our economic mess and 9/11 are Bush’s fault because “he’s the president” when it all went down. Gotcha.

Pup! You honestly have a college degree? Besides what you wrote being nonsensical, there is no cohesive structure concerning the subject you were attempting to discuss, in fact what you wrote does not even qualify as a sentence in the English language!
“MM if you mean the left wing greenie whackos that made it mandatory to drill so far out and so far down instead of in shallow water where problems could be reach and delt with”
Or where any spill would have faster and more immediate effects on the coastline.
And BTW, enviro-nuts didn’t want any drilling in the first place. That was the consumers ;) .
BP’s lease was 2007. Other leases go back further than that for “deep” water. While Bush administration did ask for some royalty increases, Texas and Louisiana BOTH GET MORE THAN THE FEDS– It isn’t all just the feds looking for the bucks– so maybe Bobby Jindal should be looking in his own state’s bank account for “clean up” money??? They didn’t mind taking the royalties.
