In America we are counting the days to the mid term elections this November so as to effectively castrate Obama and his disastrous agenda by throwing his fellow thugs out of congress. He now enjoys strong support from only about 26% of the electorate because, as I referred to earlier, half the folks who supported him realize now they were played for fools.
I don't think progressives are "better".
Well good luck in November. I know BP is hoping your GOP takes back the House. The hearing today would have had a completely different tone if the gavel was in the republican's hands . . .

well aside from the radical right attackers here i am very grateful to all the folks who take time to read all this. it's really rolling with a lot of info from intelligent passionate concerned rock fans and i appreciate getting a chance to get perspective and info here w this.
it's even a good thing we have some political trolls on attack of a democratic party president in office a year and a half who had nothing to do with the republican party rampant "degregulation" etc... i'm not gonna argue that point here. it's just good to see the tea party kinda of outright mockery hate and politcal attack out in the open; to know that these kinds of philosophies are exactly what protects huge mega corps making billions and paying no usa tax from having sane contingencies and responsibility. obama just put a 20 billion plus guarantee directly into the hands of the people most immediately affected. red states all.
i'm not gonna promote or protect obama tho. i'm just saying that including all these tired lines from scarey etc.... really do show the crazed and frankly vicious mocking idiocy that is attracted to a philosophy of state rights UNTIL there's trouble and then MAMA FED lookin' reeaal good to them. they take all that cash from the 'blue' states pretty damn quick. and u know what? they SHOULD> they are Americans in trouble and we must do
EVERYTHING to inform and protect and love them and be honest about the unbelievable exploding extrapolation of the worst Abomination other than nuclear war i can think of....

The BP disaster should be a clear lesson to us all--that the age of oil is over. We cannot afford the impact on the earth's climate of continuing to burn fossil fuels, nor the risks inherent in searching for oil in ever-deeper water or more pristine places. Were the costs of disasters and cleanups, the immense costs in life and suffering factored into the costs of production, it would be clear that oil has become unaffordable by any standard. Yes, we will all be required to give up some comforts and convenience to make the shift--but not nearly as many as people fear. Safe and renewable alternatives exist--sun, wind, water, a bit of muscle power, a focus on the local and the truly sustainable would give us an energy policy and the beginning of a new culture and economy that could bring us back into balance with the natural world. Without that balance, there is no security. No terrorist attack on the US has done anything close to the damage that BP has done. No amount of armaments will save us if our oceans no longer produce food or oxygen, our waters are poisoned and our soils blow away.

Hmmnnn, let's see. I live in a multi-ethnic neighborhood and my heroes include Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Chuck Berry and Miles Davis but because I disagree with Obama I'm perceived to be an ignorant racist.
My eldest son is named for a lifelong friend who happens to be gay and another of my dearest friends died of AIDs a few years back but because I disagree with Obama I'm an ignorant homophobe as well as being a racist.
I present my arguments in an intelligent, articulate, non-hysterical fashion, with examples, devoid of name-calling but because I disagree with Obama I'm a mouthbreathing, tea party nut-job as well as an ignorant racist and homophobe.
I don't call anyone names and yet that's exactly what my idealogical opponents do, precisely because they have nothing else.
You can try to shout it down all you wish, but the truth will out.

I don't know what's knee jerk about not wanting another one of these disasters. How many rigs are in the gulf in deep water? Have they all been inspected to make sure they don't have the same problem?Quote

Obama's knee-jerk reaction to this disaster (banning new drilling) has just been overridden by a Federal judge in New Orleans.
