OT – Why can’t they stop the oil leak?

[quote=captcha]I like how the government (federal, none the less) is being asked to step in and take over the containment efforts. Since it is not a defense issue I say let the free market take care of this. BP can always call Harry Stamper.[/quote]

The free market will take care of our dependence on oil, but when there is a disaster, it is precisely the time for the government to get involved. At least to a larger extent than bitching about the dispersant BP is using.

My second point was why our gov’t has not aided in this clean up? Is it trying to make oil drilling look badly? They don’t need help. The gov’t has ships, and people who could aid in the leak and it seems that they are keeping their distance. Similar to the charges that were leveled against Bushy after Katrina. [/quote]

Big difference here. Katrina was as act of God and this gusher is an act of man.

The people responsible for the disaster are responsible to fix it.[/quote]

A disaster is a disaster. Obama’s administration has had 5 weeks, and haven’t done anything but launch a couple investigations and bitch about the dispersant. We know the only difference to you, Brian, is that your Messiah is in charge this time.
