Coming from the 'Drill, Baby, Drill!' crowd, that's rich. This new talking point is laying it on a bit thick. The repugs wanted the oil companies to have their way. They still do, as an official party plank. 'NO REGULATIONS' is what the Cheney Energy task force fought for (a half million bucks for a stop gap switch is too expensive for BP's multi-billion dollar annual profit margin to endure). There's a bush appointed repug in charge of the whole shebang (Int. Dept. MMS). Who knows if Obama really went golfing, but we DEFINITELY do know that li'l bush was on VACATION in TX (right next door to LA) before Katrina hit, he was fully briefed, he did nothing to help the American citizens there. He cut the Corp of Engineers budget for flood control in the event that the levees failed, he put a crony corporation in charge of disaster preparedness (IEM, or Innovative Emergency Management, a big repug contributor). IEM stole the money and produced no written plan. He put an 'Arabian horse judge' crony in charge of FEMA, he mobilized the Louisiana National Guard to Iraq (in order to defend Louisiana), so the state had no personnel or equipment to help in this disaster. He went to CA (a thousand miles in the opposite direction from the disaster) after the hurricane landfall, in order to learn how to play the guitar, while his SEC. OF STATE Rice SHOPPED FOR SHOES in NY. How is Obama ever gonna compete with this litany of repug crooked creepiness? Obama isn't perfect, he's an Illinois pol (with possible CIA ties, via Business Investment Corp.). But while Illinois may be Daley Mob country, it isn't oil country or repug country, unlike OILYGARCHICAL TX (bush/Cheney), AK(Palin/Stevens), WY(Cheney/Teapot Dome), and other repug strongholds. All the oil money is going to the repugs, today. Those oil nazis, who back the repugs at every turn -- they own this disaster, and they own the ONGOING Katrina disaster as well. Sorry to sound so angry, it's just that I'm still mad about how these oily NAZI guys tried to kill Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway in "Three Days of the Condor". I just got out of the loo, where I've been VOMITing with rage (thank you Doug Adams) for 3 hours. To HIT THE HIGH POINTS, in all-caps, (three letters or more only): REPUKE, NO REGULATIONS, MMS, DEFINITELY, bush (I know it's a low-case, but it can't be helped) VACATION, IEM, FEMA, SEC. OF STATE SHOPPED FOR SHOES in NY, CIA, OILYGARCHICAL TX, ONGOING, NAZI, VOMIT, HIT THE HIGH POINTS. 'Vomit' is just another word for 'puke'. P.S. On behalf of our hispanic compatriots in AZ, I'd just like to add, POR FAVOR, VAYA CON DIOS, PENDEHOS.
