Obama's Oil Speech Strong on Rhetoric, Short on Answers

Roff take a look at your own rambling. It is obvious that your only mission is to smear Obama. Your arguments are incoherent Nd vacuous. If you have nothing to say just be quiet. You seem to be guilty of the same sins for which you blame Obama. After a while you Obama haters just sound like whiners.

What a surprise. No answer to my comment.

Rather just throw insults.

Before mooing about Obama's speech, perhaps Roff should tIe a close look at his own rather shabby writing. It looks as though he is just grasping at straws. Only a si

pleton would not see that he really doesn't have a leg to stand on . He is just throwing trash to the bottom feeders who love rolling around in it.

Disprove what Barton said. How our judicial system works. No way did BP have to agree.

If you read comments here you know major mistakes obama made. Major mistake waving required studies. Government lucky if they don't pay portion of damages.

Feasible no oil could have reached shore but for obama's incompetents.

This is s really lame artcle. It kind of reminds me of that congressman Barton. I guess this writer and Barton are of the same ilk. Two peas in a pod. I've noticed that a certain amount of lameness can actually improve you standing in the republican party.

Laureate Barack Obama, as you call him has yet to earn his award. Slow half measures in Gulf crisis earned him his low poll ratings bound to fall more.

Banks was pressured under Clinton and unlikely at this late date Banks be held to any accountability. Democrats don't want truth coming out.

Clinton major factor in recession and Democrats refused to regulate after numerous outcries by Bush beginning year elected. Democrats in Congress do not wish to dredge up another Democrat fiasco.

You flagrantly place your DOCTOR status on site so certain you will read and watch my links.

I'm just a regular guy not trying to impress except by my words

Educate yourself.

If you do not know what has been going on for the past three years I cannot really help you. Quite amazing, have you been on a long vacation to Mars by any chance ?

I read and re-read your diatribe and I fail to see your point. What exactly have the banks done that you find them culpable? More details would be helpful.

obama is a good man, at creating green jobs for foreigners

“Stimulus Creating Green Jobs... Overseas”

by Dustin Ensinger on February 11, 2010

“As intended, the $787 billion stimulus package is creating thousands of “green jobs,” unfortunately the vast majority of those jobs are going overseas, according to a new report conducted jointly by the Investigative Reporting Workshop and ABC News.”

“Yet, of the money spent thus far, eight of every $10 went to a foreign company, the report says.”

"...wisdom of the earth..." Sheesh! Another neo-pantheist - Must be from Boulder (San Francisco East). Say Dan, what time is the human sacrifice to Gaia? Tell me, do you chant the Environmentalist Creed; "All forms of human endeavor are evil. The only acceptable interactions between humans and nature are; conservation, restoration, preservation and veneration."?

You guys don't burn non-believers at the stake do ya? Not eco-friendly at all - the carbon footprint has to be prohibitive. Maybe turn the apostates into mulch or humus for your organic garden - I'm sure that would be keeping with, "the wisdom of the earth".

Remember, Environmentalism has become the State Religion and "Going Green" has gone too far - way over the edge, too far. I'm talkin' green banners leading us back to the caves.
