All this posturing and sideshow antics need to stop.

If all these buttheads on both sides of the aisle gave a rats ass,they’d be putting more effort into getting something done about the leak and the damage being done or putting pressure on OB to send in the military if necessary for nothing else than raw manpower.

Hell the damned cap has broken off and all the oil is flowing out of the wellhead and straight into the water now.

There’s nothing Congress can do about the leak. There’s nothing the president can do about the leak. There is something the oil companies can do about the leak, however, as they own all the machinery that can access the site. So it’s in their hands.

I’m just surprised that all of the other major oil companies didn’t come forward from day 1 and offer to lend BP whatever resources they needed, and worry about billing them later. That would have been a good PR move for every company, except BP. But fuck them.
