I guess I can add something to the tonnes already written about this mess.
It seems to me that to stand around blaming everyone under the sun about the problem is sure to stop the leak and clean everything up. What?

The Federal Government (President Obama) loves to blame someone else for everything. So, instead of pulling out all the stops and trying everything he points, then he points and then, guess what, he points some more. And things get worse.

You cannot convince me that “everything is being done” to correct this.
Where are all of the other oil companies? Don’t they realize this is going to impact them also? Why are they not helping?
Where are all of the hot-shot university people that know it all when it comes to keeping the ROTC off of their campuses? Don’t they know anything?
When are all of the companies that claim to have oil eating bacteria at the ready going to be involved and allowed to show their stuff?
Where are all the deep sea exploration people, you know them, they can salvage from over 1 mile down but suddenly they can’t lend their expertise? Or is someone stopping them?
Where are all the hot shots in Europe? Don’t they realize that if this spill gets into the Gulf Stream it is going directly to Europe – do not pass go. Go directly to Europe.

Google it! Oil eating bacteria! There is a company in Florida that wants to help but nobody is listening. There are probably more but it frustrates me to see them all over the net but nothing is being done.

I am not an expert but you have to believe that somewhere in the world someone can help this. Yes, the world that would rather spend time fighting their neighbors or doing other crap instead of helping.

And that’s my view.

I was totally shocked today when I heard that the President opened some areas for oil drilling. It’s about time! With all of the foreign countries drilling and taking our oil we have to get there quickly to try to become self sufficient regarding power.

Now, let’s see what happens. Would it surprise me if after the November elections the President reverses himself? No.

But for now, 1 point to the President.

I visited the RNC / GOP web sites and the screaming front page says “FIRE PELOSI”.

Now that sure is a great platform to stick there!

I don’t know about you but I would much rather see something constructive on the front page and then I would like to see the same on all the GOP sites around the country.

How about this:

• Repeal the Health Care Bill
• Drill for oil – keep our money here – Don’t give the oil away
• Get Jobs Fired UP
• Cut the deficit
• Get rid of Illegal Invaders
• NO TO amnesty
• DO HEALTH CARE THE RIGHT WAY

Then put it all in WRITING and sign it.

Ah, the GOP. I wonder if they are listening to the people as much as they proclaim. Have you seen their site? Their headline is “Fire Pelosi”! Why doesn’t it say “Reclaim America for The People”?

Maybe they have the wrong people doing the job of planning for the elections in 2010. If they have the right people then were is the Platform for ALL of the seats, nation wide, they want to take over?

In my opinion they should scrap the mentality of firing people and let US, the People, decide who to fire? In all of the polls I have watched over the last six months or so the AMERICAN PEOPLE want some constructive legislation and the AMERICAN PEOPLE want to be heard.

This morning (March 25, 2010) I sent the following email to the GOP.

“Hello,
FIRE PELOSI is NOT what we want to hear. That is stupid, dumb and tells me you are not listening to the American People.

If you ARE THE PARTY that listens TO THE PEOPLE you would at least send me an email that you have read this.“

Read that list.
If they drill for oil, instead of giving it away and buying from the countries that don’t like us, it does a couple of things. It creates some jobs and it helps reduce the deficit.
Repeal the Health Care mess saves money for small businesses thus letting them hire people which is job creation. More Americans working and less unemployed saves us money and cuts the deficit.
NO AMNESTY – hmmm, let’s see – more jobs for Americans – less money being spent for Illegal Invader healthcare – less crime.

Here are a couple of ideas that are not on the list simply because I was so made at their stupidity I forgot to add them.
1 – Stop the drug companies from advertising drugs that do more harm than good. Let your doctor tell you what you need, not some commercial.
2 – Make our NATIONAL language ENGLISH!
3 – Stop importing workers from foreign countries and give the jobs to AMERICANS. An over whelming majority of these jobs are high tech and high paying.
4 – Make companies that want to do business in the United States hire Americans. STOP the outsourcing of American’s jobs like Technical Support and customer service.

When you read this I want to hear your ideas for saving money and increasing jobs.

And that’s my view.

Chevron-Led Team Discovers Billions of Barrels in Gulf of Mexico’s Deep Water
The Jack No. 2 test well lies about 175 miles off the Louisiana coast and is half-owned by Chevron. The other half is split between Devon Energy and Statoil.

An oil discovery by Chevron Corp. has bolstered prospects that petroleum companies will be able to tap giant reserves that lie far beneath the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Check out the entire article here.

Seems there is more oil around here to add jobs, bolster the economy and improve our security.

3 to 4.3 Billion Barrels of Technically Recoverable Oil Assessed in North Dakota and Montana’s Bakken Formation—25 Times More Than 1995 Estimate—
Released: 4/10/2008 2:25:36 PM by the USGS (United States Geological Survey)

There is an email flying around talking about Trillions of barrels of oil in the north part of our country. Upon some investigation the actual amount is only (only?) 3-4.3 billion barrels.

Perhaps some of that could help get away from Foreign Oil usage AND produce some long term jobs and make our country’s more secure.

Here is the USGS page.
