Plus his company is involved in this mess as much as BP is. Why don't they call him to come on their cable shows and explain what is going on? Tell us what President Obama is doing right or wrong? Give us some suggestions. If he doesn't want to appear then report that he declined the interview. This guy has been in the oil business damned near his entire life and he disappears when we really need him.

Whats up with that?

But when he acts like he is an expert in military affairs after receiving five draft deferments to avoid combat in Vietnam the media swoons at every word he has to say?

Something is funny here.

2. He's also helping to destroy the environment here in PA too.
Notice the Halliburton name in the pictures below. One "Dick" sure can do a lot of damage to the planet.



'Tricky Dicky' the 2nd?
Halliburton tractor trailer parked along a country road near Buffalo, Pa. Frac fluids were exempted from the Safe Drinking Water Act in 2005 while former Halliburton CEO Dick Cheney was Vice President of the US.




Secret Sauce
Frac fluids are considered "proprietary" formulas and therefore NOT subject to full disclosure of their chemical makeup, even to emergency personnel. Things will improve in this area if The FRAC Act is passed by Congress.

3. I doubt they forgot.
But, reporting on it interferes with their "Obama's Katrina" meme.

4. Olbermann keeps talking about, so do Ed, Tweety et al.
I don't watch the other channels.

5. We are corporate ruled now and Cheney is a corporate elite
We really need to get over the idea that there will be any fairness to this. It's us, the 98 percent class against the elite 2 percent, the upper class. Once we stop fighting with our fellow serfs and figure out how to ally ourselves against the corporations, we may have a chance.
