		<description>tn:  when you hear O&#039;Reilly go on and on about plugging the leak and absolutely ignoring anything that is said about capturing the oil, no matter how many times his guests bring it up......you have to wonder what HIS agenda is.

He has been in love with Obamy from the moment the great man granted him that &quot;hard-hitting&quot; interview where the Moron revealed nothing and had another 1/2 hour to lie shamelessly in prime-time without being called on it.  Since that moment, O&#039;Reilly has religiously stated over and over that the Moron &quot;means well&quot;.  He says that at least once every single show.

I think they struck a back-scratching deal.  

I watch the show because of Dick Morris, Rove, Dennis Miller, Laura, Newt, the lady who always makes Colmes look like a fool, and the smart and hot blonde lawyer who just had a baby....but I wish they did the show without O&#039;Reilly.  I rarely watch the second half hour because the people with brains are always on in the first half hour.  The second half is where he brings on the ding-bats who he harangues until they agree with him and brags about how great he is.  That&#039;s when I catch up on the scores and sample the military and history channels.</description>

		<description>Amen. Somebody get production started on The Proreason Factor &#039;cause he&#039;s lookin&#039; out for the folks.

Or at least the folks who find it ridiculous to pair looney radical leftist ideas against stereotypical talking points about conservative ideas that are put out by the left.. and then come up with some phony center that makes no sense whatsoever and solves nothing.

(It worries me that he&#039;s still Fox&#039;s #1 but that may just be primetime among other things)</description>

		<description>&quot;Something’s really really wrong with this whole story&quot;

The key is the explanation of why they didn&#039;t start containing the spill on the second day.

Idiots like O&#039;Reilly focus on plugging the leak (what a crushing moron he is!).  That is exactly what the criminals want, because it focuses the entire attention on BP.  But everybody knew from the first minute that capping the well was virtually impossible.   It has never been done at that depth, ever.  Every prior similar circumstance was only relieved by drilling a second relief well.  Once the relief well is sucking the oil up, the pressure is relieved from the first one, and it can be capped.

Containing the spill was always the fed&#039;s responsibility, yet every offer of help was blocked by the bureaucracy.  Here it is 60+ days later and still little or nothing has been done.   

Given the significant number of countries, businesses and individuals who have offered help, from the 3rd day forward, it is impossible to conclude anything other than that the Obamy Cabal wanted the spill to continue.

And now we know why:
1. Who is talking about Health Care today?
2. Who is talking about Joe Sestek today?
3. Who is talking about the KSM fiasco today?
4. What massive legislation is the topic of conversation today?
5. Who is being demonized today around the clock?
6. What party is positioned as the protector of the &quot;small people&quot;?
7. Who has a new $20 billion slush fund, for starters, today?
8. What are the odds of the oil industry surviving this assault?

It&#039;s as obvious as the nose on your face.

This is the only economic crime in history that rivals the deliberate destruction of the economy in September/October of 2008, which was enacted to get Bozo elected.  The crime is the DELIBERATE AND EVIL REFUSAL BY THE OBAMY CABAL TO ALLOW THE LEAK TO BE CONTAINED.

It&#039;s right in front of you.</description>

		<description>&quot;Something’s really really wrong with this whole story&quot;

It&#039;s just simply all lies.
But oi, where do we start, right?

Well regarding the intentional &quot;short-cut&quot; conspiracy (or inversely the illuminati-via-obama-via-environmental-kooks blew the rig theory):

The reality is MMS was disastrously corrupt.

- Notice the media hasn&#039;t substantively pushed the &quot;it&#039;s Bush&#039;s fault&quot; narrative.  That&#039;s because even a superficial look at history reveals that Obama and Ken Salazar sure as hell knew it.

- At the press conference, when asked about the MMS chief&#039;s resignation only hours earlier Barry pulled one worse than simply refusing to comment: he claimed to not even know about it.

- Ironically, while being grilled yesterday by Bart &quot;Pro-life Democrat&quot; Stupid and the inquistioner Nostrils Waxman, Tony Hayward was probably under gag order by the White House since conclusive culpability also implicates corrupt regulators that the regime had publicly targeted days after the immaculation.

Others have said it, I have too, but we can&#039;t really have these discussions publicly though, because the left is besides themselves trying to retard the current public scrutiny of Obama with their traditional phony narratives.

There are indefensible moves being made right now:

- The illegal shakedown (I don&#039;t know how it was anything other)
- The illegal moratorium with falsified support documents
- The retarding of the Southern states&#039; clean-up efforts for political reasons: 

1. They want the maximum disaster (a hurricane soaking the South with oil) so that they can seize and redistribute as much of BP as possible.
2. If we ever do drill again, the new down-payment for permitting is going to start at 20 bil.  Only big companies in bed with (controlled by) the regime will yield a profit.
3. Anything to flip off Conservatives; leaders and &quot;small people&quot; alike.

I know I&#039;m up there as one of S&amp;L&#039;s leading loon conspiracy theorists, but I think the twice-over &quot;small people&quot; gaffe was also a setup.  Obama is making these men trash their company to keep it (and their investors) afloat.</description>

I think there is some scratching backs, Obama hoping to make an impression, when he&#039;s dealing with BP not to tell Mr. Perfect Obama&#039;s administration did not do govt inspections they were required. To say they need new regulations is b.s. as there were those in place, which have done fine for years now. The Obamas skipped the inspections so that BP could make money asap for the upcoming elections to include 2012.</description>

		<description>Why would BP enter a &#039;negotiation&#039; and immediately take the worst possible deal?  Any outcome via due process would have produced a better result - just look at the example of the Exxon Valdez.  BP execs laid their company bare to a Marxist criminal cabal that will bleed them dry like a bunch of leeches.  BP is a dead company.

BP executives are the 100 pound weakling that just got oily sand kicked in their face by Barry.  It has been my belief since Barry&#039;s crusade against the private sector began that the first CEO to openly stand up to the man-child would be a hero.  Corporate leaders are deathly afraid - but at some point you have nothing left to lose and should instinctively fight back - for both your company and the survival of the free market system.

Millions of us are waiting for someone willing to pop this bully in the nose.</description>

		<description>You know ... I&#039;m really beginning to wonder about all this. 

This is stinking more and more like a set up of some kind to push America into irrevocably disastrous legislation, you know ... the Alinsky method - create a crisis, use the crisis, manage the crisis and then get what you were after. From the BP guy overriding Halliburton&#039;s on-scene supervisors and Trans-Ocean&#039;s rig specialists causing the accident to begin with, to the federal government refusing the Dutch offer of four ships that can suck up 4x as much oil every day as is being released. To every other twist and turn to this story ... including and most amazingly that BP&#039;s lobbyists authored 7/10s of the hideous cap-and-trade Bill that Obama spent most of his Oval Office address pushing instead of what we&#039;re going to do to plug the damn hole.

And what finally rolled over my reluctance to consider this idea was Obama demanding  and getting exclusive control over a $20 billion slush .... &quot;in escrow&quot;, of course, but what the F does that mean to a Democrat? Escrow means looting. 

Something&#039;s really really wrong with this whole story

Look at Friday&#039;s American Thinker for a great write up about &quot;Where&#039;s The Navy?&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;I erred in the fact that I tried to apply logic to the situation&quot;

logic is a good thing.  You just have to know when to use it.

When a marxist is involved, it NEVER applies.

To understand a marxist, think about what makes sense.

The opposite will happen.

PS:  &quot;I’m CERTAIN there are people who are in positions of authority who KNOW what’s going on and yet they do nothing&quot;

That is why all of the RINOS are going to be removed, with prejudice.  Rusty is exactly right.  Criminals are in charge, and the career fat-cat Republan capos smile and look away. It&#039;s the crips and the bloods.  When the Democrats are purged, the Republicans will be next.

		<description>Please don&#039;t be offended.  I&#039;m on your side.

The logic you espoused is faultless.  The fault lay in the way our &quot;regime&quot; utilizes its power to illegally manipulate and control.

You are absolutely, 100% correct.   But it just won&#039;t work.  Remember, this regime is a dictatorship in the making.   The information is all there.  It&#039;s obvious.  

The worst part?  It apparently cannot be stopped.  But your argument is absolutely sound, in a sane, functioning presidency.</description>

		<description>oki2, you sad, weary misguided human being.  

Let me &#039;splain.

The rule of law would work, if..and only IF the regime was adhering to it.   In other words, after due process and hearings of a legitimate nature (unlike the &quot;sit-down&quot; The Oddfather [obama] had with BP), it would be decided how liable BP was and how much they should have to pay and how to disperse the funds.  But that would be long after and with individual cases being heard from fishermen, home owners, resort owners, etc.  

This boy who sits in the president&#039;s chair has usurped the law with his current actions.  Another, in fact of a long list of ignoring constitutional law and contract law.  What has America completely angered is this very thing.  Yesterday and today, what he and his capos did was &quot;put the squeeze&quot; on BP and &quot;made them an offer they can&#039;t refuse&quot; which is called, for you and me, extortion and is punishable in various states by various lengths of TIME IN PRISON.  Hard time.

As I, and many more, predicted, he gets bolder and more obnoxious and more petulant at every tick of the clock.  

The other thing that has Americans furious is that NO ONE is holding any of these mobsters accountable.  They truly are operating as if they are &quot;untouchable&quot;.  For myself, it&#039;s gone beyond the pale and I keep wondering when they will overstep their bounds to the point where they ARE reigned back so hard they wish they never got out of bed.  

All of this activity is unprecedented.  I&#039;m CERTAIN there are people who are in positions of authority who KNOW what&#039;s going on and yet they do nothing.  Of course, when you own the businesses, the banks(AIG, etc) and the cops (AG Holder)...there&#039;s little you can&#039;t get away with. 

And to quote Sean Connery, &quot;That&#039;s the Chicago way!&quot;

Put thugs in charge of any entity that can enforce the law....same with whoever handles the money...and you&#039;re in the clear.  No accountability=no laws broken.   Or so it would seem.  

But America is watching...and over 10 percent of those Americans are unemployed.  And the longer they stay unemployed, the more their anger festers.  

One, the boy may want that very thing.  He&#039;s a community agitator.  He excels at pissing people off.  He&#039;s the guy who puts a hole in your straw, or slashes your tires just to get a cheap thrill out of your reaction.  Yes, he&#039;s that petty.  But now he&#039;s on to bigger crimes and really ratcheting up the anger.  

He hopes for civil unrest.  He wants an excuse to become &quot;supreme leader of all the world&quot; by forcing the military to keep the peace.   However, it&#039;s been my contention that such a tactic will backfire because the people will know that the military isn&#039;t the enemy and they will simply circumvent them.  Plus, many people IN the military will not completely embrace the idea that they need to be firing on fellow citizens or otherwise keeping them at bay.  

Indeed, if I were some GI and was told to &quot;control the crowd&quot;, I&#039;m afraid I&#039;d have to put my rifle down and actually join in the unrest.  And when it came to light as to why I did it, I&#039;d make sure the conservatives got the news first.  Then I would say it as often and as loudly as I could, blaming it all on the boy.  

But that&#039;s just me.  

However, I am learning that there are millions of &quot;me&#039;s&quot; out there.  Yeah, it would take some stones to act like that...but....I believe the unrest he&#039;s hoping for, just like everything else he expects, will not happen the way he expects, or for the reasons he&#039;s trying to create.

Ask yourself, &quot;How would I get a nation to rise up to overt civil unrest?&quot;

Take away their jobs
Take away their healthcare
Take away their right to speak out
Take away the process of law
or
Selectively and prejudicially enforce existing law
Tell businesses what they can and cannot do with strongarm tactics.
Be a little shit dictator.....


Etc, etc, etc.  You see where that leads.  

He is working to that end.  

I submit though that it will backfire.  As everything else has.</description>

		<description>Can&#039;t BP come back and claim that the damage was far greater than it would have been had the federal government taken advantage of foreign aid, followed their own containment/cleanup procedures and given permission to local states to protect their own shorelines?

edit: Uhh and therefore claim they owe less than the demanded amount?</description>
