Why is Obama stalling oil cleanup in the Gulf?

this just in........

sand berm construction halted

BP removes cap on wellhead (rumored that a ROV accidentally hit it?)

captain of a vessel-of-opportunity dies from gunshot

I heard on the radio that there's something like 5 million gallons of oil a month leaking. But the Mississippi is spewing 3 million gallons of fresh water in the Gulf every minute!

I'd have to look the numbers up again to be sure, but it was something to that effect. Every 2 minutes the Mississippi puts out more fresh water than the leak spills oil in a month.
Yeah, but that water isn't really, really toxic. I'd swim in the water, I wouldn't swim in the oil. Well, I guess I probably will later this summer if it makes it up the east coast.

wait, WHAT? Got a link? :shocked:

This just keeps getting better and better. Next they'll be suggesting using tactical nuclear weapons to melt the wellhead shut.

Just pointing out that the amount of oil is fairly miniscule in comparison to the amount of water. The oil looks terrible however since it largely sits on top of the water.
 
Stick with me here folks, I know this is alot of stuff to read through, but it proves that Obama's Green Policy is flawed and cannot do what he claims it will do.....unless he is now claiming that it will destroy our economy?


Read the Summary bullets 1-24 on Pages 7-9 of Spain's

Study of the effects on employment of public aid to renewable energy sources.


"The study’s results demonstrate how such “green jobs” policy clearly hinders Spain’s way out of the current economic crisis, even while U.S. politicians insist that rushing into such a scheme will ease their own emergence from the turmoil."



Obama is using the BP oil spill to leverage his Green agenda and push thru Cap and Trade Legislation, modeled after Spain's failed Green Energy program.
***************************************************************************************************
His words, not mine:


Obama's Agenda is clear.......shut down oil, force clean energy upon the nation. His actions are being controlled by The Center for American Progress.
***************************************************************************************************​

This is not the first time that the Obama administration has listened to the Center for American Progress.​

They've got the Spain green jobs program. Here's what — this is the report on Spain's green jobs, OK? This is horrible. Damaging study comes out to showing that for every green job gained, 2.2 jobs are lost in the private sector. Spain has already gone through this.

Plus, each job gained costs hundreds of thousands in subsidiaries.​

A six-month moratorium on drilling is a death sentence. Why? Why is it a death sentence? Well, you know those big oil platforms that are sitting down and they're going a mile down to drill — those big oil platforms are not cheap. They don't just sit around if they're not being used. They are immediately leased to some place else in the world and they are used for as long as they last.

You don't just sit around with empty equipment. It doesn't just go back on the beach. So when it's gone, it's gone. And so are the jobs, because not everybody can — not everybody can build them or work them. It's first come, first serve.​

So, what happens to the equipment and the jobs? Where are they going? How does that help you? A drilling moratorium — cap-and-trade — is going to make your life easier and cheaper.

Does that sound real?​

Will your energy be cheaper?​

Will your job be or more less secure?​

If your job isn't more secure and your energy isn't cheaper, who wins?​

Because you're not. Who does? Well, the usual suspects.​

Let me tell you here about George Soros, the billionaire progressive activist that funds the Center for American Progress. According to The Wall Street Journal, the Center for American Progress — which is the group that Van Jones and everybody has been hiding out in and picked the president staff — helps the president write his talking points and makes decisions.​

The report in The Wall Street Journal states May 4, for instance, the cap-and-trade energy and environment expert Daniel Weiss called on the president to name an independent commission to look at the causes of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. On May 22, he did just that.​

On May 21, CAP president, John Podesta, privately implored White House officials to name someone to the public point person on the spill response. Guess what? A few days later, they did that.​

On May 26, Weiss said that the White House needed to demand that BP immediately set up an escrow account with billions of dollars from which claims of the Gulf State residents would be paid out. Oh, yes. They did that one as well.​

But don't worry. It's not like George Soros has anything to gain from how the president handles BP or anything like that. That would, of course, be wrong. And if that were happening I'm sure everyone in the media would be all over it — especially — especially thinking that there is a lot to gain here.​

For instance, in Brazil. Brazil — according to Reuters, Brazil is the one that really stands to benefit from the BP oil spill catastrophe. As the U.S. moratorium makes more rigs available for other countries, Brazil is going to gobble them up. Brazil is plowing ahead now with a $220 billion, five-year — $220 billion five-year plan to tap oil fields that are deeper than BP's ill-fated Gulf well.
Remember, $220 billion, it's deeper than what we have here and the equipment is going to go from the Gulf down there.​

But again, George Soros has nothing to gain from this. He is just telling the president what to do through the Center for American Progress. Soros Fund Management, LLC — I guess we should tell you this — holds a stake in Petrobras. That is the oil company in Brazil in the amount of $900 million as of December 31, 2009.​

Petrobras, the Brazilian oil company, that the Obama administration — get this - the Obama administration is now lending $2 billion to. You ready? Wait for it. What is the $2 billion going for? To perform offshore drilling in Brazil.


Let's see if I have this right:
  • We ban it here; we lose the jobs here
  • we send the rigs down there;
  • we loan Brazil the money to do the drilling in deeper water - the oil company — the big investor is George Soros who is advising the president on how he should handle the Gulf.​
Hmm.​

The criminally-negligent media are too busy right now showing you pictures of birds with oil on them. They don't have time to bring you stories of politician and billionaires with grease all over their palms.​

 
What's particularly scary is that this formation they've tapped into was estimated to produce 500,000 per day for 10 years.
