An example of how the dwindling Obama sheeple are only the most stupid of the population -- Gulf Catastrophy PHOTOS

It is always unclear how much of you Democraps is stupidity Ken and how much dishonesty.

I don't think you are actually smart enough to realize that your two assertions, (1) "that corners were cut" and (2) "that regulations were eliminated" are contradictory

If corners were cut then the regulations must have still existed, since cutting corners would mean ignoring regulations.

You failed to name a regulation that was eliminated

You failed to answer the charge that Demwit slime like you caused this disaster by driving drilling offshore to a a depth of 5,000 feet where no one knows how to stop a leak.

You failed to explain how corners being cut (presumably still being cut in 2009 and 2010) is not Obama's responsibility.

F is your grade

BP Employess on the rig said corners were being cut. Sorry, you won't accept that, but you don't believe President Obama is American born despite the birth certificate I posted. Also, there are 107 Bushies still in the cabinet because President Obama hasn't been able to replace them due to GOPers filerbusting their nomination. I heard that on Ed Schutz today.   I take issue with your claim that the human cannot work under pressure, that it cannot be "forced."  It can and often is. Franklin Roosevelt wanted this country to develop an atom bomb before Nazi Germany got one and we did it despite what some scientist said couldn't be done a short period of time.   Ditto 1961 when President Kennedy wanted a man on the moon before the decade was out. Once again, some scientists said that couldn't be done. Once again, mission accomplished.   To say that BP should take it's sweet time in finding a way of fixing the problem it caused is frankly stupid! The pressure should be kept on BP and it should be made to take responsibility for what it did. This is something we can't "free market" out way out of.   Happy Memorial Day, all!       --- On Mon, 5/31/10, Bruce Majors <majors.bruce@gmail.com> wrote: From: Bruce Majors <majors.bruce@gmail.com> Subject: [NewJersey_for_Kerry] Gulf Catastrophy PHOTOS To: "libertarianmedia" <LibertarianMedia@yahoogroups.com>, NewJersey_for_Kerry@yahoogroups.com, "ohio" <ohio_for_kerry@yahoogroups.com> Cc: PoliticalForum@googlegroups.com, Politics_CurrentEvents_Group@yahoogroups.com, "787 APFN-1" <apfn-1@yahoogroups.com> Date: Monday, May 31, 2010, 11:15 AM   There is no evidence of that. Name the specific regulations that were changed or abolished that would support your statement. In fact you are too blame: You have outlawed drilling for oil close to shore or on land.  So now you have created an oil well 5,000 feet under water where no one knows how to cap it. Democrats are to blame again.

This has not happened in places like the North Sea, where strict safety standards are enforced. According to people who worked for BP, the company cut corners and knew they were taking risks, risks that they took anyway and lost. But that's the free market for you. Make a fast buck today and fuck the consequences.   As for the human mind not being able to opererate by force, using the Soviet Union as an example, it was the Soviets who got into space before us and will remain in space. We're the one cutting NASA. Sometimes the human mind can work in great stress and come up with some great ideas.   Oh, one more not, What do Jesus Christ and John Galt have in common? One isn't coming back; the other isn't coming at all.   Happy Memorial Day, all!     From: Bruce Majors <majors.bruce@ gmail.com> Subject: [NewJersey_for_ Kerry] Atlas Shrugged continues to materialize Date: Monday, May 31, 2010, 4:47 AM   "Plug the damn hole!" May 27, 2010 by Tom Bowden Once again, an episode from Ayn Rand'sAtlas Shrugged leaps to life from behind closed doors in Washington, D.C. According to a recent report from The Washington Post,President Obama is angry about the British Petroleum oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico: Since the oil rig exploded, the White House has tried to project a posture that is unflappable and in command.

But to those tasked with keeping the president apprised of the disaster, Obama's clenched jaw is becoming an increasingly familiar sight. During one of those sessions in the Oval Office the first week after the spill, a president who rarely vents his frustration cut his aides short, according to one who was there.

"Plug the damn hole," Obama told them.

That's the politician's answer to every intractable problem: give orders, issue threats, and wait for obedience. But the creative human mind cannot take orders like that. Notice I didn't say, "refuses to take orders." I said, "cannot take orders."

By that I mean, the task of plugging a leak 5,000 feet below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico is an engineering feat. BP's acknowledged role in causing the leak does not alter the fact that careful study, creative thought, and the exacting deployment of technical and mechanical skills over long distances are all necessary in order to fix the leak. No amount of jaw clenching or bug-eyed threats from politicians can bring the solution one inch closer to reality. The human mind does not operate by force from outside. If engineering achievements could be conjured up by barking orders, the Soviet Union would be a thriving nation overflowing with engineering marvels, instead of a dead husk.

Obama's petulant outburst brings to mind a scene from Atlas Shrugged featuring Kip Chalmers, a politician who is traveling by train from Washington, D.C., to California, where he's running for office. When the train's diesel engine is destroyed by accidentally running over a split rail, Chalmers issues furious demands, expecting they will result in instant technical solutions:

"God damn these railroad people!" said Kip Chalmers. "They're doing it on purpose. They want to ruin my campaign. I can't miss that rally! For Christ's sake, Lester, do something!"

"I've tried," said Lester Tuck. At the train's last stop, he had tried, by long-distance telephone, to find air transportation to complete their journey; but there were no commercial flights scheduled for the next two days.

"If they don't get me there on time, I'll have their scalps and their railroad! Can't we tell that damn conductor to hurry?"

"You've told him three times."

"I'll get him fired. He's given me nothing but a lot of alibis about all their messy technical troubles. I expect transportation, not alibis."

To find out how Chalmers' threats finally got that train moving, and what catastrophic results followed, you will have to read the novel. When you do, you'll have a better appreciation for what politicians and engineers are capable of.
