#2 I know it's the first blowout of this magnitude in the gulf in about twenty years... but there's lots of people who can explain most of the contributing factors to the spill, from a damaged Ram BOP BP didn't replace, to a damaged Annular BOP BP didn't replace, to BP's decision to ignore Halliburton's best practices re: the cementing job, to BP's decision to ignore Schlumberger's best practices re: the casing... it's not like there's new physics happening down hole, and the blowout was caused by the &&^# higgs particle...

#3 That was in response to this btw:

She said the administration is mindful of the effects of a deepwater-drilling moratorium and wants "to get people back to work," by immediately throwing them and their suppliers into the unemployment line but wants first to understand what caused the BP PLC oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

It also occurs to me that the whole "need to understand what caused the spill" bit would carry a little more weight if any of their commissions had someone who had ever worked in the oil industry.

#4 First Oshit forces the oil workers off their jobs, then he wonders why Unemployment rises?

Second they're refused to go back so they look for work elsewhere and Oshit is all upset
that there's nobody Qualified to fix the leak.

Notice a pattern here?
