The Obama - British Petroleum game of Twister

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Barack Obama is clear that he intends for BP to pay through the nose for their "massive damage" to the Gulf Coast (as if they were going to skip town, or something). Obama plans to launch a commission to study the cause of the tragedy, and if there is any criminal fault, he will go after BP for it.

What is amazing is that the idiots haven't traced the root cause all the way back. The question is not whether or not BP was being as safe as possible, because they were, and the government even awarded them for their safety techniques at the rig.

Deep sea oil drilling is hazardous business, and if it was up to BP, or other oil companies, they would prefer to drill in shallower waters, or on land. So the question ought to be, "Why are they drilling deep water drills?"

What the Democrats, and Obama, will never admit is that the reason oil companies are drilling dangerous deep water wells is simply because the leftists, mainly the environmentalist arm of leftist maniacs, won't allow the oil companies to drill anywhere else. Therefore, ultimately the fault of the spill lies on the shoulders of liberalism.
