| #6 good thing those Chinese rigs in Cuban waters will have all the latest in hi-tech safety gear....right? All the "This should stop drilling NOW!" Oughta STFU and reflect that stopping our drilling won't quit it in the gulf. But that doesn't help their agenda. Asking for teh best in safety and no-spill is a no-brainer, but don't expect foreign competitors to do it. When the Chinese have a spill, think Obama will threaten them with sanctions? See: "Bonds, Chinese-owned" |

| #5 The rig is in International Waters, although within the 200 mile US Economic zone. Despite what some want to believe Obama nor Bush could act without accurate information and requests from the parties involved. Once the threat to US coastlines was narrowed down (remember this spill could have come ashore anywhere from Louisiana to Florida) forces were deployed to deal with it. It's not as easy as saying, "Make it so". |

| #4 Leave Obama alone, he's got other important things to worry about - like 'date-night'. |

| #2 Agreed, but I heard CNN had called it "Obama's Katrina." CNN! |

| #1 the coast guard has been on the case starting about 6 hours after the event just because the left dishonestly blamed Bush for Katrina doesn't make Obama responsible for this |
