States Need To Launch Criminal Investigation Into BP, Federal Government’s Role In Oi

[QUOTE=Tim_T;419079]I doubt you will find any Obama fans here, including myself, but the off shore drilling part is true. Now perhaps you are one of those folks that loves a good conspiracy theory and if so, have at it.

Btw I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and that man really did land on the moon! :)

Oh Pontooner, the gun grab did happen and was one of the most unconstitutional events in modern times.

Not looking for any Obama fans. IMO, if your an Obama fan then your against the U.S.

I agree to disagree with you. :rolleyes: IMO, Oswald did not act alone. As far as the moon goes, I really don't have an opinion on that.

DJD, you're right, not just the wealthy had an opportunity to evacuate. When you get right down to it, really, of the people who ended up having to be rescued (or drowned), the majority had time to evacuate, they simply refused to do so. There were some who really had no chance, such as poor people with no vehicles who lived in areas where walking out would have meant walking 20 or 30 miles, or more. I mentioned the people in wealthy neighborhoods because that's who the video at Catfish Bob's link talked about. But the point I was trying to make is that the statement "if you didn't have a car you weren't allowed to leave the city" is - well there's no other word for it, it's a LIE made up by CONSPIRACY THEORISTS.

[QUOTE=Catfish Bob;419088]Today, even though President Obama is against off shore drilling for our country, he signed an executive order to loan 2 Billion of our taxpayers dollars to a Brazilian Oil Exploration Company (which is the 8th largest company in the entire world) to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil ! The oil that comes from this operation is for the sole purpose and use of China and NOT THE USA ! Now here's the real clincher...the Chinese government is under contract to purchase all the oil that this oil field will produce, which is hundreds of millions of barrels of oil".[/QUOTE]

Another LIE. Obama has signed no such order. This comes from an Internet chain letter dating back to around September of '09. In case you ever want to read some facts, instead of paranoid conspiracy theories, here's a list of the executive orders President Obama DID sign in 2009: [URL]http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/executive-orders/2009-obama.html[/URL]

Here's the TRUTH about it (emphasis mine):
"In April 2009, the [URL="http://www.exim.gov/about/mission.cfm"]U.S. Export-Import Bank[/URL], whose stated mission is "to assist in financing the export of U.S. goods and services to international markets," approved a preliminary commitment to lend at least $2 billion to Petrobras, Brazil's national oil company, [B]to fund the purchase of equipment and services from American companies[/B]. The commitment was approved by the Export-Import Bank's bipartisan Board of Directors before any Obama appointees joined the agency."

There are plenty of other sites out there debunking this myth. Google it and pick one.

sorry I was wrong about the car part.

If **** goes to hell here like there, I'm not going anywhere myself. Staying right here and if I die then so be it, but I aint leaving my land.

Perhaps this is why drilling in Alaska is off the table–[URL="http://tammybruce.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/sorosoil.jpg"][IMG]http://tammybruce.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/sorosoil-300x285.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL="http://www.facebook.com/notes/sarah-palin/fuel-america-with-terrorist-tarred-oil-instead-of-drilling-our-own-baby/398548958434"]it would actually keep America safe and strong[/URL] and won’t make Obama Boss George Soros even richer than he is now. Interestingly, it seems the more trouble we have, the better it is for Soros. Last year, Soros noted he was [URL="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/03/25/george-soros-im-having-a-very-good-crisis/"]“having a very good crisis”[/URL] having bet against the United States and profiting from her economic downturn.
Now we learn Soros is set to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Gulf oil catastrophe. With Obama’s ‘moratorium’ and the Obama Admin’s general hostility to drilling, it’s reported many oil companies have already looked into with Brazil regarding a move those shores. And what is Soros principally invested in right now? Petrobras, the Brazilian state oil company
