Where are all the right-wing pundits screaming 'drill baby drill' now?
Whats funny is the right-wing are trying to attack Obama on this issue. They are calling it his 'Katrina'. The irony being, one was an act of God, the other was a man-made disaster that was avoidable, but due to the lax oversight, thanks to bush and his cronies, none of the protections worked.
I also find it funny that the right is attacking Obama saying he is not doing enough, yet, they are blocking his attempts to make the oil companies liable by blocking new legislation they are trying to pass right now involving regulating the industry.
Did anyone see the CBS news where the BP contractors were ordering around the coast guard and telling journalists they couldn't film the destruction, under BP orders?
I didn't know the coast guard answered to BP, but it appears they do.
In fact, they did a follow up last night on that very topic as congress wants to see footage of the leak, but BP is only releasing small edited clips. The coast guard says it has access to live footage, but will not turn it over to congress or the white house as BP has ordered them not to show anyone.
Seriously? I didn't know BP has the authority to block the coast guard from granting requests put through by the president and congress.
