Big Ugly BP and a Government asleep at the wheel

I am astounded at the level of disaster from the Deepwater Horizon oil rig nightmare and little help from our own Government. This will make Katrina look like a walk in the park and no national guard is immobilized to combat this? The Government seems to be sitting aside and watching this disaster unfold..this sickens me. Such an epic nightmare and it seems to be of very little concern of our own Government. With no real checks and balances to avert such disasters. If solid steps were in place this wouldn't have happened.

While BP plays the ~Hmm, I wonder if this will work~ game.

They did it so let them deal with it? As we watch the coastline under siege.
Get out there and save the wild life and wetlands etc...this is a major National Emergency and should be addressed as so...Forget the red tape and help immediately! BP dropped the ball...all concerned about the bottom line and not the signals that could have averted this.

Greed seems to be the big picture and Not a soul in the effected areas will reap a single dollar from this. These people in the fallout zone will lose their livelihoods, wildlife and pristine areas to an oil company seemingly ill prepared. What right do they have to do so? If you're going to put our coastline in such danger..Have a real plan that works.

Wreaking havoc upon our coastline all in the name of BP costs, profit margins and stupid errors.
We will all pay for this and the Government had better step in NOW! Help these morons at BP
"Let's try something else to stop it" When will you stop this leak? How many things will you try...will any of them actually succeed?

"This is at such a depth" Then why go that deep? More profit? And why do it with no real methods of stopping such a leak at such a depth?

blah blah blah...maybe you should have thought about real measures that work before you put our Fisheries, Habitats, Wildlife and America as a whole in harms way.

They were running out of time and spending too much money so they ignored the problems and the end result was a nightmare beyond comprehension. Drilling at such a depth is insane anyway.

I fault the oil company mostly, but I also fault our own Government doing little and watching this disaster unfold...after all...it is a National disaster...treat it as such...yet another reason to be unable to trust our own Government which comes up short on so many levels. If companies like BP have poor standards for drilling and a weak plan for dealing with such disasters, they shouldn't be drilling and putting such areas in danger with rigs that can do so much damage to our Nation.

To say BP dropped the ball is an understatement...and we need to look at all other oil rigs sitting off our coastlines with great care.

Ill prepared money hungry error makers of BP need to face the truth..they dropped the ball and should be held accountable...along with our own Government that usually comes up way short every major National Tragedy...wake up folks!
