He's saying nobody in government is taking charge of the situation



It's not the governments situation to take charge of ... other than handing out fines, jail time for the ones responsible
 
That needs to be a BP guy ... someone that has a clue on what needs to be done/is being done.


If anybody else should do anything it's the other oil companies coming to assist with their knowledge
 
and the government is doing a lot on the spill, but the dumbfuck presidents administration hasn't taken a visible leadership role at the front of this, so no one knows what the fuck they are doing.
And they pretty much put control of the government support of operations down there in the hands of BP, which is fucked. I'm not saying have an adverserial relationship with them, but leaving them to police themselves is pretty shitty. We've seen how they underestimated the flow of the leak already
 
every time I see a thread like "they should throw every exec from BP in jail" it's just a headslap moment.

Is there some negligence here? Probably. Is every bp employee a bad person/at fault for this? not hardly.

finding a better way to get resources or use energy is what we should take out of this. So long as we're drilling for oil in environmentally sensitive areas, something like this will always be a risk.
 
Sure it does. Then maybe we get some one who can take questions at a press conference and we don't get stupid shit like this:

Government's job is routine inspection. Problem is, no one in the last two decades did proper inspections.
 
Yes it does, we need someone to direct e-death threats towards for it not being plugged before it started leaking
 
we saw the same populist backlash with the financial crisis
was in the big banks fault? sure...but government and consumers share the blame too


same with the oil spill




we all want heads to roll when shit hits the fan and none of us want to take responsibility
 
no worse than the people saying 'omgz the gvt cant do anything here so dont criticize them'
 
Go ahead and criticize the government all you want, just quit blaming them for something they can't control


OMGZ the Emporer just blew up Alderaan! Why the fuck isn't Obama doing something about it?
 
then they complain that the govt is up on everyones business and does not to interfere lol
