Do you think Obama was high, and he was just spewing random bull shit when he said he's sending SWAT teams to every oil rig in the gulf?

Or what is the significance of that.

I wonder what the SWAT teams are for?

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2010/04/29/obama_announces_he_will_be_sending_swat_teams_to_oil_rigs.html

Over reaction by people who don't know what to do.

Drilling is dangerous, it always has been it always will be. People get hurt and sometimes killed. Wells blow out, get mangled, and sometimes blow up. Some fields have poison gases which every now and then leak.

I am guessing you've never seen a twisted and trashed derrick where the well has thrown the pipe back up out of the hole.

The last time I was off shore the well became unstable and started trying to shove the casing back up. Everybody except the company man and the tool pusher had to clear out and go inside. They stayed out and worked trying to get the well balanced. This went on for hours during the night and at times you could feel the entire rig trembling and shaking.

You do know there have been a couple of recent serious deep water accidents, right? One in the Timor sea just last August. That one spilt a lot less oil than this and was a major disaster to the Australian ecosystem.

You misquoted again....Small potatoes for you.

Do you really wonder what the swat teams are for? Are you dense?

"Department of Interior has announced that they will be sending SWAT teams to the Gulf to inspect all platforms and rigs."

It seems like the Department of Interior is taking the precaution of having swat teams "inspect all platforms and rigs."

If I were the Prez I would have just made that shit up about the swat teams, so people that are all afraid of terrorists could sleep well......Fucking pussies.

hes been listening to limpballs again, who hasbeen whispering terrorism, even tho most terrorist organisations would be crowing over the mess thats spilling out of the ground, strangely its been 9 days and no one has taken responsibility for it.
The fact that Obama is covering all his bases must be a conspiracy.

Obama threatened by heckuva glob

The rapidly expanding environmental catastrophe caused by the oil spill off the coast of Louisiana is presenting a growing political challenge to the Obama White House, with Mr. Obama and his aides at pains to defend the response and forestall comparisons to the Hurricane Katrina crisis.

Nine days after British Petroleum's Deepwater Horizon oil rig blew apart and began spewing 5,000 barrels of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico, a massive oil slick is set to wash ashore on the southern coast Thursday evening and, experts say, could dwarf the damage caused by the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska.

So when Rush or anyone else who doesn't tow the party line points out the obvious, that it may have been terrorism, ecoterrorism, or an act of war, they are to be ridiculed and harrassed because thats a threat to your partisan idealogy. There can be no shades of gray in your little world, everything is either black or its white, which that goes for your friends here too.

BUT when Obama says something that would lead you to the same conclusion, well he's merely covering all the bases, which any wise and prudent leader would do exactly that.

You guys really crack me up... you don't think, you react. You have no idea how ridiculous your pretzels of logic make you look, do you.

As normal trying to take someones opinion and present it as fact.

So now what? You want the Government to just step in and seize control of a private company and take over their operation? There have been a lot of resources standing by waiting to help. Until now BP has both refused to acknowledge that the leak was as bad as it is or ask for more assistance.

Point blank there is going to be too much oil to contain until the leak is stopped.

You do understand it took 2 or 3 months (I can't remember off the top of my head) to stop the leaks on the well in the Timor Sea? It took drilling a relief well just like they are about to start here.

You do understand in about 8 months this makes 2 serious deep water accidents?

First off, it is not obvious, in fact it is far from it.

Drill Baby Drill is going to come out leading up to the races this november no doubt. This will mitigate some pub races and I wouldn't be surprised if you don't see clips of Rudy at the convention almost coming on himself and doing a real bad break dance while singing Drill Baby Drill and the spot being cut in a very unfavorable light.

Just sayin'.

How fucking dumb of you not to be able to get a quote right.

Because of terrorist fearing douchebags like Rush and Thomas we are forced to utilize swat teams to fight off fictional terrorists.

Why are republicans such pussies? why are they afraid of everything from the 9-11 terrorists, negroes and now spontaneous terrorist combusted oil platforms?

What you fuckers have to do is rile up the masses so we waste money and human life, limbs and eyes on avoidable wars, send swat teams out to oil platforms and develop teabagger platforms to further promote bullshit right wing conservative bat shit.

Why are republicans such cowards? What is it exactly that you fuckers are so afraid of?

Paranoid much??? you are truly lost

The Interior Department said it has assembled a "swat team" of inspectors to review safety at offshore drilling rigs across the U.S. Mr. Salazar was scheduled to meet in Washington late Thursday with representatives of more than a dozen oil and natural gas companies to discuss how to reduce the odds of another catastrophic blowout, according to an email sent by Mr. Salazar's office to industry representatives. oooooh so its not even LAPDs SWAT...sigh there goes another fantasy laden paranoid dream

How is this in any way obvious? Isn't that what you conspiracy cuckoos say about all your wacko theories? You know, the ones with no evidence anyone else can see?

Oil in the gulf is threatening four states, raising a host of commercial and security issues. So, from your link, "Earlier today, DHS Secretary Napolitano announced that this incident is of national significance and the Department of Interior has announced that they will be sending SWAT teams to the Gulf to inspect all platforms and rigs. And I have ordered the Secretaries of Interior and Homeland Security as well as Administrator Lisa Jackson of the Environmental Protection Agency to visit the site on Friday to ensure that BP and the entire U.S. government is doing everything possible, not just to respond to this incident, but also to determine its cause."

Did you miss that terrorists like to claim attention? Did you miss that radical eco-terrorists don't hurt the environment itself? Did you miss that Rush is a blowhard who needs wacky shit to keep a radio show humming along?

Or is it just that you're running out of people to blame? Obama is for drilling...damn. Obama responded rapidly...damn. The Coast Guard was there early...damn.

All we need now is the false flag conspiracy. Hang on...it will be along soon.

You've gone around the bend with Real and pahb.

Here's a couple reasons why it isnt terrorism.

You wouldnt do one well you would do at least two, and heres why, the resources are not there to handle this one very well, and there are not enough resources in the world to handle two, Shell is sending equip to BP, they are like the ones that run 99.5% of the offshore deep water trade so they are both looking like assholes right now.

It's like blowing up one of the towers, people would find a bright side to that. Nope, strain them to breaking. Get Americans (who are loudmouths but not in my backyard) to say, what the fuck (even the pubs would)---this aint worth it, lets let the middle east ruin their enviornments, we can take it off them if we need to by force.

Secondly, you don't think that BP is well aware of what assholes they look like right now? You don't think that if there was even a glimmer of hope that it was terroristic in nature they wouldnt put every man jack in their massive pr department out there saying at least, 'Well, you know, we haven't ruled that out and we are feverishly researching that as a reality'.

Interestingly, for the UKes out here, as capitalists too---but maybe somewhat more concerned over the globe than Yanks, is BP going to do a bang up job on the cleanup and pay whatever? Or are they going to do an Exxon half-assed pr job?

Exxon got away with it because no one ever sees that section of Alaska. The Gulf on the other hand won't be so easy to pretend it's clean.

Offshore oil drilling and oil mania illustrate how Americans value selfish short term interests over long term ones; how they won't sacrifice their attachment to autos in favor of walking, biking, and public transport, etc.

Next, the articles I've read are completely speciescentristic concentrating on the drop of BP's stock price and the possible damage to "seafood" in the gulf. I know someone has their eyeball on the ecosystem out there, but its still just a minority view --- suppressed because such a view challenges the way we are living and makes us worry about population and economic growth.

Here's a brain teaser. What can you even imagine is the Republican plan to prevent such problems in the future?

(About the only way to get through to them is to identify a threat to our food and tourist systems.)

So he was just stoned.

The video is very clear, he said SWAT team, not a "swat team" of inspectors".

He's the President of the United States, he needs to learn how to put the roach down before it gets so short and enunciate better.

No wonder they don't let him do press conferences...
