Messed up ROTFLMAO let's look at what you WROTE:

This is bigger than that for all of us. BP fuxxed it up and BP need to fix it. In contrast, no company caused hurricane Katrina yet that mess is STILL broken because of Bush. I shook my head in wonder when, years later, poor Obama had to talk to the Katrina victims because Bush ignored them. No, this is apples and oranges.

The above is a reply to my post:

From what I understand it is a Centrifuse and seperates liquid based on specific wieght. What kind of enviromental damage can it do? suck up a few fish? or a sea turtle or two? I can sure see how killing a few fish would be worse then letting an entire ecological system get damaged, like the salt marshes of the Mississippi delta where 1,000's if not 10,000's of fish are killed and their breeding grounds distroyed for years. I'd bet dollars to dougnuts that why it has taken so long is the Administration, in their own words; "didn't want a crisis to go to waste". They thought that BP would have it undercontrol in a few days then they could come in afterwards and Say see we need to stop drilling look at all the damage. Well that thinking has casued a disaster many times worse then it would have been. When the Exxon Valde ran aground, then President Bush (41) after 11 days steped in and the Feds took over. It's now 39 days, president Obama didn't even visit until 37 days had passed, the EPA has drug it's feet for several weeks, thworting the Gov. Jindle (sp?) for nearly 3 weeks now... with this happy horse manure about having to have an enviromental impact statement for dredging and RE-BUILDING the barrer Islands that where destroyied by Hurricane Katrina. Sure nature will re-build the islands but Nature takes it's sweet time, Oil being washed into the marshes is happening NOW. Hales Bells all we have heard about since the Exxon Oil spill was how bad oil is and it will destroy everything!!!!!! Now we got the same people that scream about the evils of oil, saying oh wait we have to take our time cleaning the oil up because there could be something worse then OIL. Spank my rear end and paint it purple if that isn't the stupidest, self serving, political agenda pushing GDBS I've ever hear of. Accidents happen, but what is inexcusible is the feet dragging! The most furtile fishing grounds in the USA are being damaged beyond what anyone can comprehend because of slow cleanup. All the little fishes, birds, and precious sea turtles that are going to die can be place squarely at the feet of the Obama adminstration's lack of response. all the Jobs lost the damage to the economy. I hope you folks like white fish, you know Mrs. Pauls fish sticks, because you can kiiss the majority of Shrimp, oyster, grouper, red fish, Mackeral good bye for several years. All because we have to study and see if re-building (helping nature) the barrer Islands will cause more damage then the oil destroying the largest WET LAND in the USA.

You clearly did acuse me of Bais, therefore bringing it up is relavant. Nowhere NO how did I compare the oil spill to Katrina, the only mention of Katrina was the the barrer Islands had been destroied in the storm.... but you went to "Obama's Katrina"..... hmmmm hmmm sounds like... what was that phrase you used... OH yeah....

would you care too.... I mean will you man up and answer your own question?

It wasn't on Fox news that I heard anything about the date, I had gotten date of President Obama's first press conference this year confused with his first visit, from the locale radio's normal news cast... I was out in production working the two stories were back to back.

Oh and by the way I didn't ask you how much money you wanted to bet, I ask if you wanted to bet, there was no amount of money mentioned. Sounds to me like you're upset that you jumped the gun and didn't make some money for yourself. What's the old saying about folks and their money soon being parted? I didn't lose any money, but YOU did lose the opportunity to make money
