Bob McCarty had a rather stunning surprise regarding the fiery explosion that is now building into the largest ecological disaster in American history. It turns out it was all approved by Barry Hussein:
Drilling Plan for Doomed Rig Approved By Obama
April 30th, 2010 · No CommentsDan Riehl brought to light an interesting piece of trivia related to the offshore drilling rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. It appears the blame for this event, one of history’s worst environmental disasters, can’t be shuffled off to President George W. Bush.
Here are the facts that demonstrate just whose project this disaster was:
The Macondo prospect is situated on Mississippi Canyon block 252 (MC 252), offshore Louisiana, Gulf of Mexico, USA, and is owned and operated by British Petroleum (BP).
The initial exploration plan for the project was submitted by BP to Minerals Management Services (MMS) in March 2009. The plan included drilling and temporary abandonment of two exploration wells over the prospect. The operator took control over the prospect through the Lease Sale #206 by MMS in March 2008.
Deepwater Horizon explosion
Drilling over the prospect was initially planned to be carried out by Transocean’s Marianas rig, but later changed to Deepwater Horizon. Deepwater Horizon caught fire when it was drilling at Macondo in April 2010. The rig sank into water after the accident and is currently lying over the sea floor, around 1,500ft northwest of the well centre and away from subsea pipelines.
Returning to Bob McCarty:
That’s right! It seems the initial exploration plan for the British Petroleum-owned Macondo prospect was, according to the folks at OffshoreTechnology.com, approved by the folks at the Minerals Management Service in March 2009. MMS falls under the supervision of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and, by working your way up the federal food chain, the approval authority lands squarely on the desk of President Barack Obama.
Dan writes: Obama said his administration was going to do something with the oceans, as I recall. I didn’t think he meant destroy them. heh! Read the rest of his fine piece by clicking here or on the graphic above.
Ah, yes, that most arrogant boast ever spoken by the mouth of man:
“I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal”
Is Obama looking up and saying, “I said ‘When the rise of the oceans began to slow,’ not burn up in a huge oil slick!”
There’s some truly great mockery of “the man who must not be laughed at.” But nowhere near enough. What we’re seeing is that this is the moment when we began to provide death panels for the sick and expiring unemployment benefits to the long-term unemployed; this was the moment when the oceans began to burn and smell like kerosene and our planet began to seriously turn to crap.
The Democrats are looking for someone to blame, because demagoguery is all they’re good at. But let’s not forget: the president who approved of this ecological disaster in the making is no other than Barry Hussein.

… this is absurd. The expanded oil drilling in the Macondo Prospect was a Bush agenda. Obama came into office in Feburary 2009, BP ACQUIRED the area in March 2009 by SECURING the approval, which was already underway and was a project involving explorative surveys stemming from LEGISTLATION PASSED IN 2007.
I’m not going to do any research for you, you clearly don’t care you just want to play the Blame game. Utilizing round-about quotes and snippets of facts to support your own desires is a childish game. Even worse, every single quote you use, PERIOD, comes from the WIKIPEDIA entry which is nothing but a summation. TRY TO AT LEAST READ THE REFERENCE ARTICLES IF YOU’RE GOING TO BASE YOUR WORLD AROUND AN OPEN ENCYCLOPEDIA.
Oh, and grow the hell up. No one cares. BP messed up and now they’re playing run-around. No one is interested in blaming any particular Administration besides the few childish goons like yourself.
There is a perfectly good reason that none of the Reporters or News Channels you follow (FOX) are supporting claims like yours. 1) You’re wrong. 2) It is of no value. 3) It’s trivializing a tradgey.
Fool. Spend your time on something more worthy.

here’s some info that’ll push you in the right direction of the history regarded expanded offshore drilling; http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/14/washington/14drillcnd.html
It doesn’t stop with the end of the Moratorum in 2008 though, do your own further research regarding the gulf of mexico. Further areas, not a part of the Moratorium were expanded in 2007-2008.

Aaron,
I’m not really sure what point you were trying to make with the article.
Let me be quite clear on one of MY points, however.
Why are we drilling in mile-deep water? Because that’s what liberals have forced oil companies to do. Why are we having the worst disaster in American history? Because we’re drilling in mile-deep water. Ergo, who is to blame for this disaster? The Democrats who created a disaster by forcing oil companies to drill in mile-deep water when they should have been drilling on the coastal shelf where an accident could be quickly and easily dealt with.
Many liberals are decrying the disaster as proof that we should not drill. Apart from the fact that if they argue that, they should be denied any form of transportation or any product that uses oil for life (they should willingly accept this boycott and go live in caves until they die out, in fact), there’s another issue.
This disaster was due to drilling in water that is so deep and at a depth that has so much pressure, that an accident was bound to happen. And that accident was bound to be a major disaster.
We need oil. That is a fact. Even if you take the damn bus, we need oil.
So from now on, let’s drill for oil at the closest locations to shore, and at the shallowest depths we can drill.

Bullcrap. You are a liar. You aren’t going to do my research for me because you’re full of lies and have nothing.
I repeat the quote from offshore-technology.com, a professional technical publication in the most relevant field, which couldn’t be any more nonpartisan:
The plan didn’t even get submitted until Bush was OUT OF OFFICE.
Also, that wasn’t from Wikipedia, WAS IT, you liar without shame or integrity???
As I have also documented, it got submitted a) to Barack Obama, who, although only having been a national politician for little over two years, had received more money from British Petroleum than any politician over an entire 20-year period; b) that same Obama who took all that money approved the plan, not Bush; c) that same Obama who took all that money issued an environmental waiver to BP only 11 days before the explosion; and d) that same Obama who took all the money has done nothing while the event turned into a total disaster.
Even James Carville, lifelong Democrat professional fact-spinner, says Obama has completely failed on every level over this disaster:
Is it your fool contention that James Carville, lifelong Democrat, lifelong political spinmeister, has these views because he only watches Fox News, you dumbass?
Now, let me explain to everyone why I’m blocking Aaron. He insinuates that he has facts on his side without bothering to actually produce any when he doesn’t; and then he insinuates that somehow my facts are bogus without bothering to produce any facts to disqualify or disprove them.
You smarmy dirtbag, with your “I’m not going to do any research for you” garbage. If you’re not going to actually argue facts, you don’t belong here. Go to your liberal sites, where facts don’t matter.
I’m not going to have that kind of demagogue on my blog.
I have to end by mocking you as a complete idiot, Aaron. Grow the hell up because nobody cares? First of all, you bogus hypocrite, that sure wasn’t what your filthy ilk was saying when you were damning Bush up one side and down the other over his failure to deal with the Katrina disaster. It’s amazing what pure, distilled hypocrites you fools truly are. And second, have you looked at the freaking polls lately? Obama is down to 42% approval. Clearly, people care. And the only people who DON’T care are far leftist rabid ideologues such as yourself who wouldn’t care WHAT stupidity your fool of a liberal messiah made.
In conclusion, I just spent my time on something worthy. I blocked you so I’ll never have to deal with your fact-free garbage again.

Thought I’d issue another finding that Aaron is just wrong – and deceitful – in what he’s saying.
He sneers:
Well, bullcrap. That’s simply not true.
From the Associated Press:
In other words, according to Aaron, fully 53% of Americans are “childish goons,” whereas a mere 43% are enlightened intellectuals like Aaron.
If BP’s ‘top kill’ plan works, the blame will likely die down. If it fails, the American people will increasingly become “childish goons” – even more than the clear majority that already ARE “childish goons.”

Looks like the conservatives pretty much failed
July 28, 2010 at 1:08 pm
I’m not quite sure what conservatives “failed” at according to your contention, Aaron.
Do you mean they failed to pierce the mainstream media veil to document the fact that Barry Hussein – who has only been in national politics for three years – took more money from BP than ANYBODY over two entire decades???
You’re right. Conservatives failed to pierce the mainstream media propaganda machine to tell the American people that their president is a total slimeball.
