Comments
Why were there no super tankers syphoning oil off the surface water immediately following the leak?
Why did the Obama administration refuse super tanker help from 11 other nations 200 million gallons ago?
Why does Obama only go to the Gulf when the press guilts him for not being there enough?
Why were Louisiana's attempt to block their coastal marshes with barges held up for a week by Washington?
Why did the Coast Guard hold up the barges another day for lack of sufficient life jackets where the water is 2 feet deep at low tide?
Why is there a FAA temporary flight restriction over the spill area?
Why doesn't BP drill an independent well in the same oil resevoir near the damaged one and use the oil revenues to fund the cleanup costs? Wouldn't this relieve the 6-7000 psi off the damaged well?
Why did the MMS not require annual operational checks on blowout preventers?
Why did Obama want to shut down all drilling rigs for 6 months when the only serious threat are from deep water wells?
Could it be that the Obama administration would interfere with BP's efforts to kill this well quickly in order to advance it's policy against any off-shore drilling?
Why does Obama preach energy conservation and fly around in Air Force One every other day?
Why did the EPA condone BP's use of dispersants which are more harmful than oil pooled on the surface?
Don't most fish swim in the water where the dispersants are suspended?
Why did no one listen to Shell Oil's ex-president John Hofmeister when he said on CNN that he would surround the well with super tankers and pump the oil onboard before it spread all over the Gulf?
Why is it that the public perception of BP is that they could care less about the ecological damage to the water, animals and fish that live in the Gulf?
Why did retired Admiral That Allen seem to take pleasure in telling us that BP will probably have to
resume dumping oil back into the Gulf?
Why can't BP simply hook up syphon hoses from the shutoff to containment vessels beforehand in the event they must relieve well pressure?
Why doesn't That Allen really retire and go away?
Why has no one from the press, nor the U.S. government ever truthfully answered these questions?

Can you list the 11 countries that supposedly offered help? And provide at least one web site that lists those countries?
When you say "when the press guilts him for not being there enough", can you provide dates when ex-President Bush visited New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and compare those visits with President Obama's visits to the Gulf Coast?
Can you explain why Governor Blanco request for Louisiana to be declared a disaster area was delayed and delayed, when the requests from the governors of Mississippi and Alabama were approved as soon as received in DC?
Etc., etc., etc.
In other words, you "list of questions" seem extremely politicized. I'm wondering what web site you pulled them from.
