I assign responsibility for this disaster: 90% Bush, 10% Obama.

Actually, it is far worse than a disaster – it is rapidly becoming armageddon.

Do you really believe that George Bush sat in his office one morning and thought “if I relax these safeguards on off-shore drilling, there is potentially a disaster in the making, and I am OK with that”. C’mon Man…..

I don’t disagree Obama is in charge now, but who created the problems knowing something like this could happen.

You are correct Robert. But Bush is yesterday. Obama is in charge and shouldn’t get a “pass” on this, or anything else!

Robert, Obama has now been in office for 1 1/2 YEARS! How can you put this on Bush? The bottom line here is that the president’s crisis management sucks!!
Thanks Guardian, but I can speak for myself.
Boise Girl, I was just trying to be cute and explain that your position was shortsighted.

20 Billion dollars is a trivial amount to BP. You all should at least read the headline in yesterdays daily paper.

What I can’t figure out is why aren’t we going after the goverment workers who allowed this to happen. Those that were hired to make sure standard were inforced. It should be a 2 fold investigation BP and the group that was suppose to set regulations. I’ve read a few things that our precious Mr Bush and crew were part of selling us out. But it all needs to be looked at and heads roll. Including Mr Bush if he had anything to do with it.

PPS: No Kool-aid on my table… Both parties have been chipping away at our freedoms and retirement funds for a very long time. However, the current team is not even trying to hide their anti individual-rights activities. They have set a new standard which both parties will follow in the future.

Killing off BP and all the damage it will do to our fragile economy will fit very well into Obama’s plans to become a dictator. First the banks, then autos, then oil. All they need now is total control of information.

What does the editor think of the proposed laws regulating and taxing the internet.

PS: “small people” = small business, for all those trying to make something out of nothing. The britts still don’t use their english correctly.
