while my state sits awaiting a total disaster..as well as my back yard..the Gulf of Mexico..how about holding your own accountable Pelosi?????????
How about holding all of BP officals accountable and arresting them and charging them with crimes against our nation and the World Pelosi???????
Stick your bullshit Pelosi!
I hold you Pelosi accountable as well!..for the total failure and complicity of the crimes against the people of the United States and the Gulf Coast states!
Get your head out of your ass Pelosi and do your damn job!..or get the fuck out of the way! And get BP out of the way of scientists and real people who want to do the job of cleaning up the fucking mess BP created with your help and the help of Congress and the Senate! We don't need the criminals now controling our Air , our water, our marine life and our wild life..enough of the damn cover ups! Enough of the damn lies !
Enough of the PR bullshit!
Trying to Help, Hearing Nothing: A Gulf Coast Diary | The Seminal

Since my reason for coming down here was to help personally in cleaning up oil, last Friday I went to the hazmat training center in St. Bernard Parish. I need the training in order to work on the cleanup.
At the office, they told me that to be trained at this facility, I needed to be either a St. Bernard Parish resident or already be hired by BP. At an office next door, I could fill out an application to work for BP. So, realizing this would be the only way I might be able to work on the cleanup, I went by. As I sat just outside the office, I watched one fisherman after another come in and ask the BP representatives for checks. Some had no problem getting checks, while others left empty-handed for yet another day.

Thursday I attended a press conference on the beach at Grand Isle that put the previous incident into perspective. The organizers asked the press where they would want to set up in order to get the best shot. Just a day before, this beach was empty, aside from sheriffs on four-wheelers. But now, workers were all over it. I wondered if they’d been sent here for the sole purpose of providing us with a photo opportunity.
On Friday, Obama is supposed to visit the very beach where we observed the Guards discarding the boom. With that in mind, the National Guard has been busy placing and replacing more boom on that beach than any other site I have visited in Louisiana. So much of what makes it to our televisions is just a show, a bit of theater to keep us all happy. I, for one, don’t want to be entertained by the news. I want to be informed.

ahhh the strange bedfellows.....remember Dashle who pushed Obama during our primaries..and was one of his top advisors...........working with Whitman..the lady who lied about the air quality at Ground zero in NY?? Can i tickle your memory..she lied and people died and keep dying!! And that is just one example..
Spill, Baby, SpillBy Michael Isikoff, Ian Yarett and Matthew Philips | NEWSWEEK
From the magazine issue dated May 10, 2010
BP has been trying hard to burnish its public image in recent years after being hit with a pair of environmental disasters, including a fatal refinery explosion in Texas and a pipeline leak in Alaska.
One major step was to announce, in 2007, that it had hired a high-powered advisory board that included former EPA director Christine Todd Whitman, former Senate majority leader Tom Daschle, and Leon Panetta, who were each paid $120,000 a year. (Panetta left when he became President Obama's CIA director.) Two years ago the oil giant's chief executive, Robert Malone, flew board members out to the Gulf of Mexico on a helicopter to demonstrate the safeguards surrounding BP's advanced drilling technology. "We got a sense they were really committed to ensuring they got it right," Whitman told NEWSWEEK.
Now BP, formerly known as British Petroleum, finds itself blamed for what could prove to be the worst oil spill in U.S. history. And only weeks after Obama announced an ambitious plan to open up more U.S. offshore waters to oil drilling, shunting aside environmental concerns from his own Democratic Party, his administration is facing a comeuppance from hell. "There was a lot of wishful thinking, I guess," says Villy Kourafalou, a scientist at the University of Miami's Rosensteil School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. "The new technologies were said to be so wonderful that we'd never have an oil spill again." Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.), who had sought to block the expanded drilling, says the oil and gas industry was pushing this idea hard. "They said, 'We'll never have a repeat of Santa Barbara,'?" referring to the 1969 rig explosion off the California coast. Both the Bush and Obama administrations "were buying the line that the technology was fine," Pallone adds.
BP pressed hard to make that point in D.C. Its PR efforts included payments of $16 million last year to a battery of Washington lobbyists, among them the firm of Tony Podesta, the brother of former Obama transition chief John Podesta. Last fall, after the U.S. Interior Department proposed tighter federal regulation of oil companies' environmental programs, David Rainey, BP's vice president for Gulf of Mexico exploration, told Congress that the proposal was unnecessary. "I think we need to remember," he said, that offshore drilling "has been going on for the last 50 years, and it has been going on in a way that is both safe and protective of the environment."

Obama: “Oil Rigs Today Generally Don’t Cause Spills”
Obama Repeats Katrina Oil Spill
Myth To Defend Offshore Drilling

What a difference 18 days makes. Here was Barack Obama, on April 2, before the BP oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, claiming that oil rigs are safe to justify his position on offshore drilling:
I don’t agree with the notion that we shouldn’t do anything. It turns out, by the way, that oil rigs today generally don’t cause spills. They are technologically very advanced. Even during Katrina, the spills didn’t come from the oil rigs, they came from the refineries onshore.
Not only does this quote look ridiculous in hindsight, it wasn’t true at the time, as Brad Johnson points out:
Obama’s claim that oil rigs did not cause any spills during Hurricane Katrina is simply false, as the Wonk Room reported in June, 2008, when Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and other conservatives made the same false claim:
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita Caused 124 Offshore Spills For A Total Of 743,700 Gallons. 554,400 gallons were crude oil and condensate from platforms, rigs and pipelines, and 189,000 gallons were refined products from platforms and rigs.
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita Caused Six Offshore Spills Of 42,000 Gallons Or Greater. The largest of these was 152,250 gallons, well over the 100,000 gallon threshhold considered a “major spill.” http://news.firedoglake.com/2010/04/29/oba... ... ’t-cause-spills/

Government to Oil Plume Discovery Team: Shut Up | The Seminal

On Saturday, the New York Times brought the world’s attention to the discovery by a team of researchers on the the vessel Pelican that there are large underwater plumes of oil emanating from the Deepwater Horizon spill. Remarkably, the response of the government to the attention focused on this discovery has been to tell the researchers to stop granting interviews with the press. At the same time, the blog on which the researchers had been providing updates has also fallen silent since Saturday.
Pensacola television station WEAR filed a report (video at the link) on the oil plume and broke the news about the scientists being muzzled by the government:
Over the weekend, a research crew from the University of Southern Mississippi found evidence that there are 3 to 5 plumes… About 5 miles wide, 10 miles long and 3 hundred feet in depth.
But after giving that information to the press, the lead researcher now says he has been asked by the federal government… Which funds his research… To quit giving interviews until further testing is done.What an interesting change of course for the government. Even the government’s website on the Deepwater Horizon response had been touting the mission of the Pelican as recently as May 6:
HOW MORAL WERE ANY OF THESE BASTARDS PELOSI???????????????
SAVE YOUR MORALS NOW..i DON'T WANT TO HEAR A FUCKING ONE OF THEM!
HEY PELOSI I BET YOUR ACTIONS WOULD HAVE BEEN DAMN DIFFERENT HAD THIS BEEN IN YOUR BACKYARD AND YOUR GRANDCHILDREN WERE EXPOSED TO THE SHITTY AIR WE HAVE HAD TO BREATHE..IN FACT PELOSI..I TOLD MY SON AND HIS WIFE TO KEEP MY GRANDCHILD AWAY FROM HERE, SO SHE IS NOT EXPOSED TO WHAT MOST OF US ON THE GULF COAST HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO IN THE AIR WE BREATHE!THANKS TO YOUR FRIENDS AT BP!
