ADK_Forever is so full of ****! It is so wonderful not having to read his garbage or filth.
And this is the total lack of reading comprehension that I was responding to; I never said it was ok. I said that's what it did and I said it will get better.
I find it so funny that people minimize the effect of Valdez just to try to magnify the effect of the Gulf spill. It was TEH HORRORZ when it happened back in '89 but now everyone is saying "oh it wasn't that bad".
Just goes to prove my point that this, too, will pass.
Try letting what's actually being posted to you eclipse your desire to engage in a mouthfoaming rant about make believe posts.

This too will pass? In other words, that ten years of devastation is ok. that we'll get over it?
It's this kind of head-in-the-sand attitude that I was responding to. YOU think it's ok to "pretty much ruin the economy" for ten yearsSeriously? The impact on the economy on the south, and maybe southeast, coast will probably be much worse than the Valdez created.
Who the hell is saying "oh it wasn't that bad"
Your minimizing of this disaster is embarrasing.
Do you honestly not see how this is a mindbogglingly flawed interpretation of what he said?
Saying that something will eventually return to normal is not the same as saying that it's no big deal for it to have happened in the first place.
To put it in terms you might appreciate: If Obama said that New Orleans will eventually rebuild and be stronger than ever, would you interpret that as him saying that it's okay that Katrina devastated it?
You're one of the dudes that wants to shut down offshore operations; speaking of, "runining the economy". For most of the gulf coast states, the oil and gas industry makes up the lion's share of the economic activity.
To assume I would "appreciate" an analogy simply because you make it about Obama shows your flawed assumptions.
Clearly.
In that case, I'll leave you to it.
I assume you can show where I said that.
So, be my guest and... prove it.
Good luck! :2wave:
Are you saying that you do not want to shut down offshore drilling?
You made an accusation. I'm tossing the ball back onto your side of the court.
Prove it.
It's a fair question.
So? They're working on fixing it. And it needs to gush at the same rate it did on day one for 261 days before it ever gets to the same level as the Valdez oil spill. So yeah, not really flipping out over it. Valdez is fine now. So, too, will be the Gulf and the wetlands, eventually.
What's done is done. Call me in 261 days...then I will start getting a little concerned.
According to NOAA, an estimated 210,000 gallons (5,000 barrels) a day is coming from the remaining ruptures. At that rate, this leak would surpass the 11 million gallons spilled by the Exxon Valdez in 1989 in mid-June if left unchecked
Where did you get that stat? Did you mean 261 days from now? Because it'll only be around 25 days until it reaches Exxon-Valdez levels.
I'm not attacking, I'm just curious.
Heres a quote from NOAA.
How Much Oil Has Leaked Into the Gulf of Mexico? | The Rundown News Blog | PBS NewsHour | PBS
Yet Obama and the government are doing nothing to help BP stop the leak
Well, he's doing something, but it certainly isn't enough.
The Press Secretary just said Friday the government is 'overseeing the response.' Granted the EPA wasn't nearly prepared for a disaster like this, the government should be giving assistance to BP in any ways necessary and avoid BP's stiff-arming to save face.
Gibbs saying that 'It is BP's mess and they are responsible for capping it." can be equated to if there was a privately run nuclear power plant and the reactor had a meltdown. If the company didn't have the capabilities to secure the area and stop the meltdown, would the government sit back and say it's their responsibility? I hope not.
The governments #1 job is to protect the people of this nation from any threat, not to sit back and hope BP does it.
Where are the government engineers and scientist to help with a solution to stop the leak?
Only BP has expertise to stop spill, top U.S. response official says - Yahoo! News
The U.S. official leading the response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill said Sunday that only BP had the expertise to plug the gaping hole in its deepwater well and that he trusted the oil company was doing its best.
The comments by Adm. Thad Allen , the commandant of the Coast Guard , signaled that the U.S. government wouldn't take a larger role in stopping the five-week-old spill even as frustration in the Gulf coast grows over the Obama administration's policy of letting BP run the cleanup.
If this is so how can they keep complaining? How can they regulate or inspect rigs if they have no knowledge. Does this mean the government is at fault because they have no knowledge of rigs and so do not know what to inspect?
Obama can not have it both ways. Sounds more like a copout to me

Your answers are kool-aid approved. Do you know how like a Obamabot partisan hack you sound?Your questions are patently absurd. Do you know how dumb you sound?
Yeah asking for leadership on a disaster like this from the President is wayyyy over the top. You're right.Sounds more like you bashing a president you don't like, for any reason you can dream up, to me. :roll:
Twenty years is not acceptable, especially when it looks like this could have been prevented, had BP followed proper procedures.

BP, and the Government, who leased them the rights to drill there, who also were supposed to have a plan in place to mitigate such a disaster, who also inspected and certified this rig as "Safe"....
Another BP lover. :roll: It's already been shown that MMS was in bed, literally!, with BP. THAT relationship is being dissolved and MMS is being restructured to kick out the Cheeney droids.
