Drill Baby Drill. With this strategy, we will not have to worry about the economy ... there will be none.

Just what we needed ... another oil-rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico - off Louisiana.

      What next? I suppose the Republicans will be blaming the depth of the Gulf for these disasters.

      I guess that would be blaming God, wouldn't it?

        Anyone think we can manage our dependence on oil in 2010 might also believe a cocaine addict can manage family finances.

        We haven't yet been told if there is another leak.... Do we know what this rig was doing? I would imagine if it exploded that we once again had a failed BOP.

          No details as of yet ... but all of the workers on board were rescued from the water. I would bet it was the result of another similar deficiency we saw with the last one.

            I do believe Americans had better get off their "Lazy-Boys", and do something about this Oil Drilling madness before we have no economy left to worry over.

              Has anyone yet heard which companies are responsible for this oil rig?

              I cannot help but believe at this point we will find the name "Halliburton" before the day is done.

                No surprise to me . I don't know yet why it exploded but I suspect that we won't know the true details for awhile. I personally will investigate everyone on the ballot for November and will vote according to what I find out concerning who has accepted big oil money and who is invested in oil and coal. I believe there are good and bad people in our government and we need to take out the ones who are bought off. Too bad we can no longer listen to a speech from someone campaining and take them at their word. I personally will vote on facts and NOT ON THEIR WORDS.
