why is the booming being done all wrong in the gulf?

Language is strong but the info is dead on.

Now that our Supreme Court has enshrined the concept that corporations are
people, and that corporate money funneled to politicians is “speech”, protected by
the first amendment, we can be sure that nothing whatsoever will be done to curb
the power of BP.

Note the special irony: at the same time that our government is eviscerating the
rights of actual human American citizens (especially if they are ethnically
Arab or Muslim), the phony “human” rights of corporations - even foreign ones
like British Petroleum - have been expanded and made sacrosanct.

They are reporting the politics of the gusher, such
as this article , but little to nothing on the actual
gusher.
It seems that something big happened down there yesterday.
there are some that are watching the live feeds 24/7,
they said around 6 in the evening yesterday there were
some explosions and then all they could see was black.
they when it clearded the riser pipe was buried.
Then BP live feed went off for awhile, when it returned
it was as if the explosions didn’t happen and they suspect
the video feed just a loop.
Has anyone heard anything on this?  Apparently the sea
floor collapsed.

Re: “it may be too late for the president to escape the charge that this is his Katrina—that is to say a natural disaster for which the government preparation and response were both obviously and horribly ineffective.”

But this is not a natural disaster – it’s an irresponsible manmade BP disaster.

Isn’t it Interesting to see how quickly things change, especially the rhetoric from some of these southern Republican governors like Bobby Jindal. 

It seems like only yesterday that Jindal and a whole bunch of other Republicans were ranting about the evils of “government intervention” and “government solutions” to crises.

Obama “seems aware of it” only in the sense that there could be political implications, so a manufactured angry reaction has to be orchestrated. It is becoming a pattern, while the common perception is that he is aloof, eltist and couldn’t care.

President Obama has at least up to 90,000 workers at his fingertips which he can order immediately to live in tents at the Gulf Coast and assist in the removal of oil form wetlands and beaches. They are soldiers but, unfortunately, still in Iraq at this time.
Fortunately, the SOFA-Iraq agreement allows Mr. Obama to remove all of them from Iraq pronto without approval from the Iraq government.
Please place no bets on Obama recalling these workmen. You will lose. However, in the meantime, you can begin to understand how dysfunctional, cowardly, and lying this government of ours really is.

This is NOT a natural disaster but HUMANS MADE ONE.
The corruption, collusion and incompetence of the successive aministerations regulators and inspectors contributed to its occurence and is contributing to the feeble incompetent response to it.
It is like the perpetrators of a crime are controlling both the police Department and the crime site.
What a sickening depressing farce.!

This disaster is an example of the true bipartisan nature of our government. The Dims and Repugs may not get along certainly but both get along famously with most large corporations. In fact, it is those very corporate entities that actually run our government.

So when we get outraged at oil spills, or miners dying in mines proven unsafe time and again, or the loss of millions of jobs to outsourcing, or the loss of millions of homes to corrupt financial institutions, or the loss of clean water, clean air, etc. understand fully that complaining to our government, or expecting solutions from our government or expecting any change that benefits we the people is simply illogical.

So, the next time you are in a voting booth, or filling out an absentee ballot, or thinking of contributing to either major party please take a moment to consider the alternative to supporting the corporations that run both parties and to which those parties cater. Vote third party, support third party growth and help end corporate rule.

Disaster capitalism in one of its finest hours. 

Those of you who actually believe that BP and its partners in crime (Obummer,
Salazar, etc.) are trying to stop the “leak” need to realize that the goal is to
make the ocean just another trashed universe in which the rape and pillage can
continue without objection.

Just like the year round melting of the polar cape will mean access by the
corporate fascists for oil, mining, etc. and of course, shorter shipping routes to
be used to transport more garbage for us to buy.

This “leak” is going to continue until the entire gulf of Mexico is dead, all the
coasts around it, the carribean, north atlantic and its coasts, Ireland, Scotland,
Norway, Spain (perhaps France) and North Africa.

Oh boy, be careful; be very, very, careful. You don’t
want to know too much or your rage will turn into a
murderous fury!
Okay, you’ve been warned. Here, check out this link;

Remember, I warned you.

The political theater is obvious and too late. I’m a
cynical old bastard; and this is the clearest example
yet of the outright criminality of a “democracy” run by
corporate fascists.
Off with their heads; every man-jack one of them.
This is, or soon will be, the largest monument to the
insatiable greed and corruption of big oil. The
monument will be the largest dead zone in the world’s
oceans and it’s on our door step as a visual reminder.
Congratulations you bastards!
