Despite plan, not a single fire boom on hand on Gulf Coast at time of oil spill

Bp is on the hook for 75 million.

Which is maybe .001% of the cost of cleaning this up. Once again, blame their lobbyists. That is only liability to fisherman though. They still have the cost of the cleanup on top of that.
 
That's true. Obama wasn't being honest when he claimed BP would be paying for this. :ssst:

That is just the cost for losses to fisherman BP will have to pay. The cost of the dealing with the spill is still born by BP. BP will have to pay to cut off that oil well and so on.
 
Your scenario is nothing like reality. If the government gives you an oil exploration lease, you are required to clean up spills. If the government gave you the rights to build on national forest, you would be on the hook for the costs of a fire if one occurred due to your negligence. Thats part of the agreement.

Hint: One of the duties of the Coast Guard is oil spill prevention and mitigation. You think they should pull out and leave it all to BP???

If I've read accurately, BP is responsible, financially, for all of the cleanup, but as far as the damage it does to the coastline and fishing and residents and all, it's capped at 75 million.

It is? do you have a link? I was reading how the cap for total claims and damages including cleanup was capped at 75 million.

Obama was being misleading....
 
You really should just stop responding to me then, this "poor wittle me" act is rather silly....

I don't feel sorry for me. I feel sorry for you. You are not dumb, but your anger seriously impedes your ability to have a rational conversation sometimes. You need anger management therapy or something.

:lamo it's not anger my misguided little buddy. It's disinterested humor.

This thread is not about the Greatness that is the Good Reverend. Perhaps you can try to exhibit a modicum of self control. It would be far less disruptive to the threads you choose to participate in.... :pimpdaddy:

Are you going for the record on the number of times you can be wrong in one thread?

Just follow your instinct and keep your nose to the grindstone. You can do it.

Well, I'm sorry, being honest is so troubling for you. I'm big enough to admit when I get something wrong. You trolling me for it, makes you look petty. :shrug:

I just thought you would be well informed before you started up a thread comparing this to Katrina, because, you know, it might actually help to know what you're talking about before you start throwing blame around and comparing it to Katrina.

I do give you credit though for admitting you were wrong, I didn't expect it of you and I was wrong on that part. However, I don't expect any amount of factual information to stop you from doing everything in your power from trying to come up with stuff to blame on Obama. I don't think I'll be wrong on that.
 
Which officials? Seems local, state, and military possibly. :shrug:



You see I blame even previous administrations, but you want to mouth foam. That's regrettable.
why can't you admit when you are wrong, rev? you are obsessed with this.

Actually the comparrisons are still apt. :shrug:

I see you want to be a big mouth. I tell you what, if you want to insult me and do this sort of nasty bitching like your midol hasn't kicked in, come down to the basement and we can continue to talk about the Good Reverend. In the meantime perhaps you should try to focus on the topic. :shrug:

Uhm I did, I got 12 days instead of 7, and I was wrong about the 75 million cap.....


Now why can't you admit Obama screwed the pooch as much as bush had with Katrina?

because there is no evidence of that.

We haven't even seen the full effects of this oil spill but we can be sure that's it's comparable to the worst natural disaster in the history of the country? Is that really what you're saying?

Lol, what's you're problem with women? Do you really think so little of women that it should degrade a man to be compared to one?

Read your last post and decipher for yourself who's really whining, lol. :shrug:
 
Is anyone surprised that the "blame Obama like the liberals blamed Bush for Katrina" line has already emerged? I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.
