Eight days better late than never

Every aspiring media writer and blogger out there has given their opinion on the Louisiana oil platform explosion and subsequent leak, so I may as well throw my 2 cents in. Our President (The Anointed One) hasn't a clue on how to handle this emergency. Instead of calling for equipment and the experts to use said equipment, He's calling up droves of government attorneys. He's got department heads and special assistants flying about and no, not one of them knows a damned thing about an oil well, oil well fires and most particularly a deep water well. This administration's idea of a response team is like something out of a Mr. Bean Sketch.
So while Rome stands burning, Caesar was out criticizing a sovereign State's Governor for signing a bill protecting the very people that Obama and the Federal Government (yes this includes Republicans and Democrats alike) failed to protect for the last twenty or so years. Obama displayed his true colors on this one. The lame stream press has been in full cover up mode…well the part that wasn't combing the beaches looking for oiled birds that is.

So what does the leader of a country which is in(according to the Obama administration) the biggest economic crisis in modern time do, he decided to cease operation on every US owned or leased well in the gulf this is juvenile knee jerk of reaction at best and complete absurdity at worst. Something else to heap on the shoulders of the American people – rising gas prices due to Obama's shutdown of the 3,800 oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico that's just what the Dr. ordered. I was listening to talk radio the other day and I heard Mark Levin call Obama incompetent. And yes, Mark, he is… or gives every warning of being so.

I've stated before I'm not a conspiracy theorist… I don't do it as a rule, but there is this nagging thought flashing thru my undisciplined mind – the timing on this whole oil well explosion is just too attractive. Now, I'm not suggesting any monkey business. In fact, I listened carefully to Mr. Levin's interview with a journeyman oil rig worker who was on platform when it happened. He explained that it had all the appearance of a gas 'bubble' release. A very large release of gas blown back up through the derrick because the odorless, colorless gas is heavier than air it will settle on the deck, the interior and low spots, At that point anything could have served as an ignition source, even static electricity.

Barack Obama is eight days late getting on top of this. If this happened to a Republican administration, (I'll say it if this happened to George W Bush) there would be a media blast furnace from the left that would go on for months. It may prove to be faintly amusing watching Obama's hordes of lawyers stop that well leak. I just hope it doesn't get any more tragic than it already has, but with enough of Obama's goofballs running around they could screw up the works quickly for the pros that have to get it done.
