It is raining here also--but not oil---though it appears the same.
it happens all the time, after a sustained dry periond. When we get rain after one of these periods, the rain washes the pavement of all the accumulation of grit and grime that has accumulated. It makes the paved ways particulary slick until it is washed off.

scary stuff.

And nobody's even trying to stop it.

[torpedoman]

the present administration has refused all offers of aid in this crisis to maximize the damage so they can push the cap and trade agenda. as for the picture thats normal oil washing off a road in a rain. I really don't think the oil will evaporate and rain back down. If the oil would evaporate then it would not be laying on the road waiting for rain to wash it off.

The administration somehow needs to find a way to blame this catastrophe on Bush.

Sinceiposted, I have stopped and thought about this.
I am certain that a certain amount of this is as I think.
I also know that much of this oil will evaporate--it always has and always will.
I also realize that odd things have been caught up in evaporation only too be released in rainfall.
Damn--I hate too admit too you that I can be wrong. It is like being caught by my mother.

And obama still has not asked congress to set aside the Jones Act. He will not allow skimmer ships from foreign countries to help out in the Gulf. This president, his cabinet and the leadership in congress should be arrested and charged with treason, malfeasance, incompetence and high crimes against the American people. The real enemies of America.

[Sourdough]

Not only are the government agencies not trying to stop it, they are impeading cleanup in all manner of ways that is unbelievable.

I'm not too familiar with the Jones Act...what does it not allow?


..TM7

The Merchant Marine Act of 1920 (P.L. 66-261) is a United States Federal statute that regulates maritime commerce in U.S. waters and between U.S. ports.

Section 27, also known as the Jones Act, deals with cabotage (i.e., coastal shipping) and requires that all goods transported by water between U.S. ports be carried in U.S.-flag ships, constructed in the United States, owned by U.S. citizens, and crewed by U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents. The purpose of the law is to support the U.S. merchant marine industry, but agricultural interests generally oppose it because, they contend, it raises the cost of shipping their goods, making them less competitive with foreign sources.

Obama simply will not ask congress to set aside the Jones because of his loyalty to the labor unions. He rather the Gulf be obliterated than risk support of the big unions. Big unions rule the marine industry in this country. Skimmer ships from Canada, Holland, etc, are not allowed to help out. They have offered to help and this president is still refusing. He and his entire cabinet should be arrested.

YEP. It's almost like osama doesn't care, oooooppppp, uhhhhh, I forgot, he doesn't. POWDERMAN.

The Eco Nazi's in the obama administration are trying to make this disaster worse. They want to use it as the impetus for Cap & Trade legislation, a complete ban on all off-shore drilling and drilling just about any place. These people are sick.

[Swampman]

IMO no punishment would be too harsh for those involved with this spill.  Greed caused it now let them pay.

[myronman3]

right now we do NOT know what cause this.   i cant get my mind around why they would send a swat team down there; what the hell are they going to do?   unless it wasnt a swat team at all....

[williamlayton]

Most of what this administration does is a knee-jerk reaction without any thinking.

All of what this administration does is purely political that plays directly to the left wing liberal base.  Their actions are usually illegal and or simply ineffective at addressing the problem.

obama has completely failed at even trying to be the president of ALL Americans. It’s the only office in the land that is supposed to represent a balance of everyone’s best interest and in compliance of our constitution. He is allowing himself to be fully guided by a team of left wing ideologs. That’s a sign of his immaturity and inexperience in business and real life situations. His history is that of someone who has only had to strive for what he personally wants or a group of "special" interest that he represented wanted. In other words he is a selfishly motivated only.
