  1. Thanx for the link Chrissy–
    V-e-r-r-r-y enlightening…
    (for those who can actually comprehend
    what they read)…

    Just curious, though…

    Wonder if Halliburton is a union shop ??

    Oh yeah, I forgot— Dick Cheney—

    ummmm never mind !

    The thing that I find so peculiar about all these political arguments is that there is really not much deference between the basic policies of ether party.

    What people don’t realize is that folks that are actually in power and running this country, don’t get elected. They never have and they never will.

  3. “Spill, baby, spill.”

    So, is that why Obama did nothing and let the thing spiral out of control? So, he could have something on Palin or an excuse to shut down domestic drilling?

    After all, the federal guidelines for in situ burning of oil spills have been in place since 1994.

    Where were the booms? Where was Obama? Oh, that’s right, his name isn’t Bush and he’s not a Republican, so we can’t criticize. Plus, he’s half black, so to criticize would be “racist.”

    So, it’s not Obama’s fault. Katrina was Bush’s fault, but the Gulf Coast decimation won’t be Obama’s. Have I got it right, duplicitous Libs?

    Maybe Obama’s not a manipulative prick, which leaves us back where we started: Stuck with an incompetent administration headed by a neophyte with an ego that’s at least the size of his oil spill.

  4. For all of you trashing Neil Cavuto: he is no geek and never professed to be. Name calling and cutting him down is downright mean. He has MS,which is getting worse, suffered two bouts of Cancer and not a whiner by any means. Be fair please.

  5. @C1 “Back to Cavuto… how exactly does anyone think he’s perfect for ‘well heeled business types’? He asks quetions like…

    You’re a legend in tech… how’s that feel?

    Wow… I can smell the Pulitzer now. You go Neil. “

    This is C2… How you doin’?!

    Anyway, Neil must of got his training from the elites over at the Nobel Prize Committee. You know, the committee that awarded Obama the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize and their reasoning for such…, remember, nominations for the prize had to be postmarked by February 1, only 12 days after Obama took office, and those highly evolved, uppercrust, well educated, cream of the crop, elite of the elite Norwegian Committee Members gave the following:

    ‘The Nobel committee recognized Obama’s efforts at dialogue to solve complex global problems, including working toward a world free of nuclear weapons.’

    Yeah, they’re called “Beer Summits”, “Economic Summits”, etc. and they seem to be going marvelous darling, just marvelous! He got rid of only a fraction of nukes with the Russians then what George Bush had but that’s okay, Iran should be added to the “Gone Nuclear” list very soon and it didn’t cost us anything. So there you have it I guess, “Nuclear Free” Nobel idiots, “Nuclear Free”!

    “Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” the committee said.

    Jagland said the decision was “unanimous” and came with ease.”

    I’d like to ask the Nobel committee, who’s Obama given ‘hope’? ‘Decision came with ease’ as in “Rubber Stamped” approval for the 5 minute career politician, yet again.

    You mean like that sort of Pulitzer Prize like rubbish, C1?

    “Actually, no that’s unions you’re speaking of.”

    Correct! The elite “unions” of financial monoliths, energy corporations, food conglomerates, the military-industrial complex, and the conservative politicians that enable and protect them. We know that they are destroying our economy, ecology, and middle class.

  7. Glad someone is watching the Faux Out of Business Channel, because the ratings show about as many people watch it as show up at a HS football game.
    As to the Teabagger rant about Obama & the BP fiasco, BP said @ the time of the spill that it was small & they could handle it. So, just like the “Libertarians” want, the Feds hung back as BP (Private Capital) FUBARed things up. Then the Feds stepped in. Funny how the ‘Cons forget that they want the government to take a hands-off approach until their scrotum is in the meat grinder.

  8. Oh my, oh my. Now Halliburton is responsible for the gulf oil rig explosion. Well I know they couldn’t have pulled it off alone. I’m sure George W. Bush and global warming are in there somewhere also.

  9. You are correct about the unions of the past. They definitely were a good thing but the pendulum has swung and now they are the power that needs to be controlled. I have experienced this personally with the local electrician union. I was employed by a small family owed and operated electric company and we were bullied by the union when we won a bid for a large government job. They tried to get us to join and shut our boss down etc. He was a good guy and taught me all I know and these guys were pissed because one of their guys didn’t get the job. Also look at the car industry. Unions have made it almost impossible to build a car here any more. I can’t wait until we start importing our new Chevy’s and Fords from China too.

  10. “Now Halliburton is responsible for the gulf oil rig explosion.”

    Yes. Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing.

    “Investigators delving into the possible cause of the massive gulf oil spill are focusing on the role of Houston-based Halliburton Co., the giant energy services company, which was responsible for cementing the drill into place below the water. The company acknowledged Friday that it had completed the final cementing of the oil well and pipe just 20 hours before the blowout last week.”

    “According to experts cited in Friday’s Wall St. Journal, the timing of last week’s cement job in relation to the explosion — only 20 hours beforehand, and the history of cement problems in other blowouts ‘point to it as a possible culprit.’ Robert MacKenzie, managing director of energy and natural resources at FBR Capital Markets and a former cementing engineer, told the Journal, ‘The initial likely cause of gas coming to the surface had something to do with the cement.'”

    Possible.

    Oh my, indeed.
