100 Gazillion Gallons Later-Obama to Meet BP CEO

[oldhaole]

That was another thread, hun. Not my fault you got zinged for trying to school me without knowing how to spell. I still like you though, even though we disagree. The cheap shots don't bother me.

That was a cheap shot.... I am sorry. Sometimes early AM, mouth runs before brain. After the morning doobie I am in a much better mood.

Nancy thinks Goldman is resposible for the spill. And, it was done on purpose. Just so Goldman could NOT lose money on 4.6 million shares. Gulf coast be damned.

In the early part of the Bush Presidency. (you remember Bush Right IB,?) Dick Chaney met with a bunch of oil company exeutives (BP included) in a series of closed door meetings. They went to court and won the right to keep their names secret. In those meetings the oil companies wrote their own rules for energy production. Bush said no problem, and the wishes of the energy companies became law, under his watch.

This thread is a week or more old. In that time we have seen Joe Barton (R) Texas offer to give Tony Hayward a BJ on national television. Or just about. We have seen Darell Issa (R) CA explain that if Republicans had sabpoena power they would use it, not on BP, but on the White House. And lets not forget Michelle Bachman (R) Crazytown that says Obama should not "shakedown" BP.

Hell IB, last week you Republicans have royaly shot yourself in the foot. Each time the media asked "did s/he just say that? And in that week the electorate realizes that Republicans are owned by Big Oil. You ,my friend, are bought and paid for. Each day your mid term victories are slipping away. So I can understand why you are so shrill. Not only do you have Bush to live down, now we find out that the oil companies come before the people in your world.

Anyway the reek of desperation follows you. And remember Reagan was still blaming Carter in his second nomination speech. I think we will get more mileage out of Bush than you guys got out of Carter. A lot more.

Anyway IB feel free to ignore this post (like usual). We have grown to expect nonsense out your party. And Nancy, feel free to correct my spelling. If thats all you got, than thats all you got.

Have a great day all!

I kind of have to agree with Nancy a little. Its awful strange with the timing of the short sellers and the fall of American Airlines and others days before 9/11, and now with the BP as the more notable. To me, where there is smoke, there is fire. Just look at this disaster and Big Oil is written all over it. Is it also coincidence that 9/11 and 4/20 are both significant numbers that have a specific meaning in our culture? I see insiders pulling this crap, and its all Big Oil the center of the web. The Usual Suspects are in the newspapers and news all the time.

Bush, Bush, Bush........too funny.

Whose midterms are slipping away? You must be kidding right? This lame administration has more shit on its hands than Bush or Clinton and its getting worse. The majority still HATE Obamacare, McChrystal is bouncing on Obama in Afghanistan, Iran thinks Obama is a broad as does N Korea, and our new Attorney general wont say words Islamic terrorism anymore.....its man-made disaster lol.....talk about looking like pussies. Taxes are rising, unemployment is UNCHANGED, and Obama's poll numbers are almost in the 30's. Either your smoking methamphetamines or are living in a dream world. I dont even need to post congressional approval ratings for ya do I??

You guys had your shot and ya blew it. Ill garauntee right now Dems lose both House and Senate. Watch.

Nobody besides the small minority of socialist libs in America is gonna listen to the Dems try and blame Bush to save their political lives in November. Aint gonna happen, better try a different approach DailyKossies.

A senior Iranian lawmaker has renewed Tehran's offer of assistance in capping the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, with the US dodging a response to the proposal.

Head of Parliament's (Majlis) Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy Alaeddin Boroujerdi said Thursday that Iran was ready to employ its expertise in containing oil spills to put an end to the "environmental catastrophe" in the Gulf of Mexico.

"Despite the aggressive US stance towards the Iranian nation, Iran is ready to help put an end to the spill because of severity of the environmental catastrophe," IRNA quoted Boroujerdi as saying during a meeting with Swiss Ambassador to Tehran Livia Leu Agosti on Thursday.

The Swiss embassy is in charge of the US Interests Section in Iran, after Washington and Tehran ended all relations in the aftermath of the 1979 US Embassy takeover in Tehran.

Boroujerdi and Agosti also discussed the latest US-proposed sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program, that were passed at the UN Security Council (UNSC) on June 9.

"Imposing sanctions will not prompt the Iran nation to surrender and the Iranian nation will continue to defend their legal rights," Boroujerdi stressed.

The UNSC move came three week after Iran, Turkey and Brazil issues the Tehran declaration.

Foreign ministers of Iran, Turkey, and Brazil signed the declaration in the Iranian capital on May 17, according to which Iran would ship 1200 kilograms of its low-enriched uranium to Turkey to be exchanged for 120 kilograms of 20 percent enriched nuclear fuel rods to power the Tehran research reactor, which produces radioisotopes for cancer treatment.

The Swiss ambassador, whose country has been urging dialogue with Iran, expressed optimism that the declaration can still be used as the basis for talks between Iran and the world powers.

The US has characteristically ignored repeated offers of help from Iran to contain the oil spill. The National Iranian Drilling Company (NIDC) offered its assistance twice in May.

Earlier this week, a commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Brig. Gen. Rostam Qasemi, offered the help of experts from Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters to contain the oil spill.

Millions of gallons of oil have poured into the Gulf since an offshore BP rig exploded on April 20, Killing 11 workers. A newly revealed BP document indicates that around 100,000 barrels of oil per day are spewed out of the well into the gulf.

Iran renews help offer to US on oil spill

typical.....this thinking right here is why everything stays the same in the whitehouse.like a little spoiled brat/tattle tale/crybaby.as your pointing the finger...they did this they did that so now we get to hahaha.to me that makes you worse than bush or clinton or obama or carter.......

Obviously the facts scare you. It's understandable. Please lay your thought out in a legible manner next time. That way we can understand what you have to say.


So, I am a spoiled brat/tattletale/crybaby for what exactly? For pointing out a small sample of the stupid things that the Republican Party actualy said? And that makes me worse than the past four presidents? That's a pretty high bar to clear. Feel free to explain how I made it to this lofty perch.


Thank you for proving me right. Since you have can't defend what your party leaders say, you call me names. If you can't attack the post, attack the poster. As I have pointed out previously, as your election victory slips away, you just yell louder. I believe the word I used was Shrill. And you know what they say about the shoe fitting.


Try to have a good day.
