[quote=CDMA ENG]What is the fascination with Obama losing his cool?

It’s like because he is a black man people want to see him “lose it” pull out is nickle plated 9 and get gansta on BP… Come on…

He has tempered his response appropiately… More so than other would have.

A good leader delegates… Now lets see if he picks the right delegates to get his name out of the mud/oil.

And there’s the typical response to any sort of criticism of “The Messiah” Just call people racists. I’m surprised by the use of a somewhat racist comment to do it though.

[quote]In her latest note on Facebook, Sarah Palin is blaming “extreme ‘environmentalists'” for causing the gulf oil disaster that has been unfolding for over a month. Her logic is that because environmentalists push for tougher drilling regulations onshore in places like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (also known as ANWR) it forces oil companies to explore deeper offshore drilling which has more risks.

Palin writes:

With environmentalists’ nonsensical efforts to lock up safer drilling areas, all you’re doing is outsourcing energy development, which makes us more controlled by foreign countries, less safe, and less prosperous on a dirtier planet. Your hypocrisy is showing. You’re not preventing environmental hazards; you’re outsourcing them and making drilling more dangerous.
Extreme deep water drilling is not the preferred choice to meet our country’s energy needs, but your protests and lawsuits and lies about onshore and shallow water drilling have locked up safer areas. It’s catching up with you. The tragic, unprecedented deep water Gulf oil spill proves it.

You can read her full note on Facebook here.

This is one of several comments about the oil spill Palin has made that has caused a stir, including a tweet in which she said we said we shouldn’t trust BP because it is a foreign oil company. Palin’s husband Todd worked for BP for 18 years. [/quote][/quote]

She has a point, and maybe it’s because Todd worked for BP that she says not to trust them. Honestly though, I think she’s just making a general statement about not trusting corporations that are based outside of the US. Seems fairly logical to me.

[quote=Eugene][quote=mike92104]The oil companies are regulated, but the regulators were asleep at the wheel, or too busy watching porn and taking speed. How does more of that prevent the oil spill?[/quote]

Are you implying that it’s impossible to regulate oil companies effectively, that disastrous oil spills can’t be prevented, and we shouldn’t even try?[/quote]

I’m asking what additional regulations would do to help. There are already regulations in place, and the accident still occurred.

[quote=Eugene]
Or is there some counterintuitive mechanism that will make companies like BP regulate themselves if the government regulation goes away?[/quote]

I think it looks pretty damn bad when you dump a bunch of oil into the gulf, and that your sales will take a hit. Not to mention the huge cleanup costs. It’s much cheaper and better PR to prevent spills.

Also remember that Libertarianism isn’t anarchy.
