The oil has been flowing for a month now. Why aren't the usual suspects chastising the Obama administration over this as they did Bush for Katrina?[/quote
Boy do you have that right! Which proves a serious point about libs vs. conservatives here in the USA - and even more importantly, the super uber liberal USA press. What a shame.

Because the government isn't allow by law to step in? That might have something to do with it. People want them to - but so far, as I've read and learned, they can't.
Not sure why though. It makes zero sense. Then again, if they do, BP can say "Well we did what we could and you took over so it's all on you." That's probably why the law is there, so these companies can't just cut and run.
BP more or less has cut and run, but rather, actually, they've cut and sat still. Or they've cut and have been "thinking".

My friend, what law are you talking about? Are you suggesting there is a Federal law which states that if a corporation causes an envoirnmental catastrophe in the U.S., the federal government cannot help clean it up???????
Ummmm, the answer is a resounding no. There is alot of politics involved here, understandably, but don't think for one second this regime has handled this matter efficiently. If you know of such a law, please provide a link . . .
