boi, keep reading.

That was a direct response to luckydawgs response to Ron.

Not that is matters. There is no debate here. There is no exchange of ideas.

How would bringing some skimmers from Europe "be in the way"?

Because they're European skimmers, and so must be evil liberals, and probably Marxist as well. They wouldn't be trying to skim anything, they'd just heave to along side American ships and the crews would indocrinate good and noble free market capitalist Americans with hateful socialist nonsense. That would be a terrible thing. The GOP would be whining their pointy little heads off about it if Obama had accepted that Dutch offer...

Still projecting I see

Yea, I got to that part. I was going to edit when I came to the end, but you beat me to it.

So that makes it ok to assume that all other republicans agree with them? I just read one of brains posts and he thinks we should pick our supreme court judges based on their religious beliefs and ignore any qualifications they might have. I didn't see anyone from Canada suggesting this was wrong. Does that mean all Canadians think this way?

Junk Shot Part II - We shoot the entire board of BP and the higher ups of the Minerals Management into the leak.. it may not fix the problem, but it would feel REAL good.

Correct Tazzy, you are not bitching.

You are defending the Obama response.

Refusing offered help.
Leaving more oil in the water.
Accepting BP's numbers instead of monitoring the situation from the start, and lying to the world about the extent of the damage.
And using dispersants to send it to the bottom, where it can't be skimmed up.

Show me where i defended his response.

OK. I'll defend it.

Obama's mistake was assuming BP had its act together. He was wrong, and yes, he bears partial responsibility for that. He also should have fixed the regulatory mess left behind by the last administration--again, not his mess, but his problem now. Well--that's changed now, and that's about all we can expect.

As far as specific measures taken--other than consult all available experts, who also had no better ideas, how is any president supposed to know all this stuff up front? Even the oil industry people didn't. So--it was tried and didn't work as well as hoped. Not like we had time to study it first. And the people we expected to know how turned out to have only improvisations.

This incident is a first for us. Any president would have been in the same position.

Sure, slapping him around after the fact is easy when now you can second guess. But mobilization was immediate (remember the SWAT team threads?) and all resources made available--from here what's there to do beyond taking over partially and working to clean up the resulting messes?

Yes, it's a disaster. But this will have to be lessons learned--for the entire U.S., not just the President (and the oil industry).

What luckydawg, all republicans and teabaggers want is more gov't intervention into the private sector. They continually push for more gov't regulations.
