ken...."The voters also gave us Bush and Cheney who doubled the national debt in 8 years".... The voters gave the USA President Bush and Vice prez Cheney who gave the USA the laws and means to track and capture filth like the radical islamists that tried to murder innocent Americans in Times Square. Imagine the disaster if after 9/11 the USA had the islam loving hussein obama and his gang of radical left commie types controling the USA destiney?? Hell he would likely have osama bin crazy over at the White House for a prayer summit.

oh bummer! Didn't bamah break that bush cheney deficit setting record his first year? And he isn't finished yet. You should take your leaders advice and watch glen beck to get a different point of view to round out your biases. Me I watch bill maher. Seems like he isn't at all happy with his choice for president. Appears he maher didn't vote for continuing the wars or to restart drilling. He thought he was voting to bring the troops home and green energy industries. bill maher says the american people are stupid and yet he is the one who believed campaign promises. Don't worry! Be happy! the hopeless comrade chartseer in the new era of hope Welcome to Talkalot!

Ken a certain date here is interesting...I'll hi-lite it for you so you wont miss it. U.S. exempted BP's Gulf of Mexico drilling from environmental impact study WaPo ^ \| May 5, 2010 Juliet Eilperin Posted on May-05-10 9:13:41 AM by bamahead freerepublic.com The Interior Department exempted BP's calamitous Gulf of Mexico drilling operation from a detailed environmental impact analysis last year, according to government documents, after three reviews of the area concluded that a massive oil spill was unlikely. The decision by the department's Minerals Management Service (MMS) to give BP's lease at Deepwater Horizon a "categorical exclusion" from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) on April 6, 2009 -- and BP's lobbying efforts just 11 days before the explosion to expand those exemptions -- show that neither federal regulators nor the company anticipated an accident of the scale of the one unfolding in the gulf. --SNIP-- In one assessment, the agency estimated that "a large oil spill" from a platform would not exceed a total of 1,500 barrels and that a "deepwater spill," occurring "offshore of the inner Continental shelf," would not reach the coast. In another assessment, it defined the most likely large spill as totaling 4,600 barrels and forecast that it would largely dissipate within 10 days and would be unlikely to make landfall. "They never did an analysis that took into account what turns out to be the very real possibility of a serious spill," said Holly Doremus, a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley who has reviewed the documents.

Chris Matthews set that Times square bomber off, with all his hate speech about the tea party people.
