While the sun comes up and the light of day starts to show just how bad this oil spill disaster is and finally uncover what exactly happened. Hopefully, reality will sink in on how just one error that could have been prevented by simply making BP or companies like them put expensive but high-tech emergency equipment in place to cap the well, avert or absorb spills before they start. The negative outcome and proof that the rules and deregulation of financial and oil companies by the house of Bush … is evident. Now, we see what happens when a big corporation tries to save money but does so much damage and in this case a big impact not only the environment but foul, fish industry and the entire economy on the gulf coast for decades. It is great to have a President that is willing to change direction on issues when the facts and or evidence show that delays and or cancellation of offshore drilling is clear. What happened should not be blamed on President Obama, this is clearly a human error and in this case BP; they know it and need to take responsibility for the entire clean-up.

I have to say the first reports of the explosion and then word that everything was okay made me wonder …common sense tells you okay the well is underground; it could bleed out, up or both, which is what happened. The big question is why didn’t they act before the oil started to leak. This spill, is for me a warning to either change the way the clean-up process works or scrap any plans for further oil platforms or at least get an emergency plan in place because it seems this error by BP happened because they had no plan B, C maybe none at all… I’m no expert but equipment should have been available immediately that absorb oil… bumpers placed along the coast and shores before the leak actually spread … i saw nothing but boats watching , waiting for the leak to show … unacceptable

In other unacceptable news … the Arizona law that will carry out legal racial profiling or SB1070 and the fact that in 90days and or after the Arizona legislature finishes it’s business may become law as well as the stupid birther law. Republicans have managed to alienate a whole lot of people and hopefully I’m not the only one who feels the up coming elections will show that … if not, it’s definitely something to work on.

The bright spot on immigration reform are the comments from Nancy Pelosi about leadership and appetite in response to The President; meaning she is willing and has the appetite to deal with immigration reform in 2010; as well as the move by Senator Harry Reid, who put together an immigration proposal that will include a National ID ?, a pathway to citizenship and beefed up Border Patrol … this is a beginning stayed tuned because some of it needs adjustments if you ask me.

last …

The continued effort by all these mistresses who, i guess truly believe they have not stolen someone’s husband or that they are not home wreckers is just beyond me. Is it time to get legal on these women? and how nutty were Miss Hunter’s comments; this O interview just shows in my opinion how delusional the “other woman is” … or what. When will they understand this is not your man; he is legally married to someone no matter how unhappy you think he is or how often he says it and just because you have a baby by the married man does not change a thing…you have no legal rights to him –the other women, predator or ho and should have said NO because he is married –simple
