Funny how a moron bent on destroying America like Barack Obama can just "pretend" that he's one of the masses when it is obvious to everyone around him that he is Bush but worse.

As much as I hate Bush, at least he said what he was going to do and then did it. Obama pretends to be for the people and then stabs them in the back.

It'll be a wonderful day when that piece of crap ends up where he belongs and all pieces of sh*t belong, in the crapper!

The enormity of our energy situation today began 50 years ago when the consequences of foreign oil and climate change were little thought about except for Carter in the late 70's. To blame any recent president for the crisis we are now in is just blowing smoke. The blame for the crisis is fully in the hands of Big Oil who use the crisis to make enormous profits and keep drilling and to do so when they know that oil is no longer a competitive energy source. Only T Boone Pickens is capitalizing on the future of energy by trying to change from oil to natural gas and wind.

Chernobyl is an apt comparison. Instead of radioactive poisons, we have benzene, hydrochloric acid (from oil+sea salt), and a huge bubble of methane ready to pop. And of course, an absence of life in the northern Gulf, possibly beyond. The horror, the horror ...

Now that's change we can believe in, ... or die.

I couldn't agree more. It was a running joke in America that Soviet leaders would tell their people that Chernobyl was a minor nuclear incident and nothing to be alarmed about.

The current amount of oil initially being reported has grown 10 fold. It is doubtful that anything being told to the public is factual.

This is a complete breakdown of government. -The inability to tell the public the truth of the situation is mind boggling.

The BP Oil Volcano is like Chernobyl in several ways. The Chernobyl reactor was known to be a defective design. When it failed, the Chernobyl reactor was being deliberately operated in an unsafe manner that violated government standards. The Soviets tried their best to cover up the disaster, and it poisoned a large area and killed many people and disrupted the lives of many others.

Unlike the BP Oil Volcano, the nuclear (sorry, nucular) people knew what to do to contain the explosion by helicoptering tons of absorbent material into the reactor. People outside the Soviet Union could see what was going on by monitoring the atmosphere and looking at satellite photos. And with Chernobyl, there was no apparent profit motive. Although the reactor itself might be unstable, Chernobyl did stop the radiation leak and limited the long-term danger to the planet.

I believe that we can safely say that the BP Oil Volcano disaster will prove to be a whole lot worse than Chernobyl. This is a Krakatoa-level event.

just read in the times of london that new data suggest that as much as a billion barrels of oil could plausibly spill into the gulf and atlantic and not stop until the reserve is emptied in as long as a decade from now. who knows if or when this will appear in american media?

at least the spill isn't radioactive... but then the IAEI stated flatly in 2000 that there would definitely be more chernobyls, considering there are 440 nuclear power plants dotting the planet like measles... most of which are very old and impossibly expensive to clean up or make truly safe. so naturally, obama gives the GOP first $18.5 billion in the insipid 'stimulus' to build new nuclear power plants and now i sse that is being upped by more billions. i say, build plants under the white house, capitol hil, pentagon, CIA, NSA and the bush ranch.

Uranium remains radioactively toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic to all life for millions years.

Had the BP oil disaster been a nuclear catastrophe it would affect not just one species or one generation. It would be increasingly toxic to all life for all time.

The inconceivably long periods of time these radioactive toxins last make the issue of eliminating the production of nuclear materials an urgent matter.

Here, the need for scientific, spiritual, religious and political wisdom merges. The necessity for overlapping “checks and balances” becomes essential not only to protect our own lives or the lives of our children. We are left with the imperative to develop the ethical insight and political will to protect all life.

Could you please give us that link to the article in the London Times?

LFOD: Wowza. Did you notice, for example, baby bush's "Mission Accomplished", etc.? Never argue with someone who knows they're right. With the derision of "reality based thinking" I've had enough. Most all people have had enough. Protest and survive.

Can anyone imagine either John McCain or Sarah Palin leading us out of this disaster??

And, has no one remembered that the estimates for pulling the US out of this recession were in the 8 to 10 year range?

Further, haven't you wondered if both political parties were trying to LOSE this last election ...because the winner was doomed to failure. None of this can be fixed in 4 years.

I can hear the "Machiavellis" in the back rooms:

DEM - "American is not ready for a president of color. Let's run Obama, then wait for 2012 and see what happens."

REP - "John is starting to look pretty good. Let's give him Palin for a running mate ...then wait for 2012 and see what happens."

Now we have an UNnatural disaster to make the situation even more difficult. The right wing-nuts like to call it Obama's "Katrina." Perhaps Obama did not respond as rapidly or effectively as everyone wanted, but he only knew what BP could/would tell him. In the case of Katrina (the Bush disaster), we KNEW what was coming and how devastating it was going to be. Bush's lack of effective response was unforgivable.

Chern what?it's the red neck riviera and who cares anyway, i'm to busy making lemonaide

That's it, Vic Anderson; enough of your Obama bashing. Every problem in America is not solved by Obama bashing. You need to get back in this thread and say EXACTLY whom you want to be President AND WHY! I heard you were a Vet, and tried to respect you but you're so disrespectful yourself, I'm not above harassing the good people at T/O to CUT YOU THE FRICK OFF!
