1. That was almost a month ago.
Too long ago!

2. When you are dealing with instant gratification oriented, knee jerk reactors with political ADHD....
...then you are likely wasting your time. And that is what you are dealing with.

6. I guess that they won't let any facts get in the way of what they want to
believe about him. It's really sad that it's so rampant on THIS site, not to mention in the "liberal" media.

8. Thanks. I'm sending the video to Joe Scarborough who said, this morning, about 10 times,
that Obama HAS to go to LA and he can't understand why he "hasn't yet." :eyes:

16. You asked what he has done to fix this mess as if he's done nothing. The article
shows just how much he had done up to the date of the article, even though many people claim he's done NOTHING, asking what he's "waiting for." The date shows he began working to try to fix this mess from the very beginning. And he's OBVIOUSLY still working at it unless you think he suddenly stopped his hard work. :eyes:

15. One small item here: BP reversed decision to shut off video feed.
Pressure from Thad Allen, I think.

Looks like BP will now air Operation Top Kill live on their oil spill webcam.

After reports earlier today that British Petroleum (BP) would cut the public feed to their oil spill webcam while attempting to stop the flow of oil from a burst pipe, the oil company has released a statement saying that:

"BP today confirmed that following detailed discussion with the National Incident Commander, Admiral Thad Allen, it will continue to provide live video feeds from the seabed throughout the planned ‘top kill’ procedure – the attempt to stop the flow from the damaged MC252 well by pumping heavy drilling fluids into it."


Also, the MMS is cleaning house big time, and revealed insider services from the past, reported on KO.

And announcement last week that MMS is reorganizing due to conflicts of interest, will have an environmental and safety division now.

Other stuff, too.

:hi:

17. There's a complete timeline since the first day, over at
http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/issues/Deepwater-BP-Oil-Spill

I suggest you look at it to discover the answer to your question. I doubt you will, but it's there. I've posted this several times. You may read it and see what has been done every day by the Obama administration with regard to the Gulf oil disaster.

You cannot claim that he has done nothing with impunity here. Some of us know exactly what has been done from the White House. I point this link out to you so you will be informed and will stop making false claims.

10. Obama going is a serious waste of time and resources anyway.
I hope he doesn't go again. Do you want people to deal with the problem or do you want workers diverted to handling the burden of a Presidential visit for the sake of a photo op? Stupid, stupid, stupid.
