no ace i said that you didnt have a clue about the regulatory system that this comes out of so dont have a clue when you wave your finger around and decry some imaginary lack of "leadership" on the part of the obama administration---of which i am no great fan in alot of ways, let me tell you---but this comes out of long-term negligence by minerals management and long terms sweetheart deals for oil corporations (which donate 3/4 of their campaign monies to republicans btw.) this comes out of a systematic construction in the image of oligarchy and there's plenty of blame to go around for it. if you look at this particular situation there's plenty. if you look at the obscenity that is the regulatory system, there's ALOT of blame to go around. and alot of it is heaped on the door of the right....PARTICULARLY the kind of thinking that's at the heart of the regulatory system itself, that bidness knows best and stay out of their way and help them make bigger profits and exempt them from stewardship or even from rudimentary safety at the regulatory level because bidness knows best....so to have someone like you, who happens to be the posterchild for this relationship to corporate structures that is on your kness facing forward with movements of the head region that cause one to raise one's eyebrows, to bitch about some imaginary "lack of leadership" when it is the way of thinking about regulation and bidess that **you** share that is above all responsible for the regulatory set-up that allowed this fiasco to happen in the first place....it's laughable ace.
so you misunderstood what i wrote, i doubt you read it.
