"A Whale" - Taiwan to the Rescue in the Gulf

[midtennchip]

I continue to be amazed at how little uproar there is among average people over the ineptitude of the current administration, particularly in response to the Gulf oil spill. The linked article describes the "A Whale," a new retrofitted oil tanker from Taiwan designed to filter up to 21 MILLION gallons of water a day.

From the article, it says "the shipping firm TMT Group retrofitted the oil tanker after the April 20 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon." So, it the same amount of time this administration has had, the Taiwanese have (1) designed a tanker for the job, (2) retrofitted it for the job, (3) gotten all the way from Taiwan to the Gulf of Mexico, and (4) gotten through the US red tape (maybe the most impression feat of all) to get the tanker operational in the Gulf. What the h*ll has the administration been doing all this time????

I've mentioned this kind of thing in another thread. One

would think everyone would be outraged by the lack of leadership. I saw an article on Fox about the tankers

a while back, in reference to the Jones Act, which I

think he still hasn't set aside. This is just another example of his lack of leadership and/or ideology ruining

this country. Outrageous is an understatement.

With Obama's kind of leadership, I just hope the country gets through the next 2 1/2 years.

Obama and his entire administartion is freakin joke. The only way they know how to run this country is to run it down. The man never should have been put into office. I don't even want to get started on this group of misfits. Hopefully the American people that voted for this character will remember his lack of ability come 2012.

With the kind of judgement shown while voting, I hope they don't bother

voting at all.

You left out all the pickup basketball games, tee times and rock concerts at the white house. Busy man.

Notice the EPA has to sign off on it because there is a trace of oil in the discharge. WTF !!! Any method that can remove oil should be used NOW.

thats easy. The average person gets their news from the big three networks. That is if they pay any attention to news at all.

Obama is a rock star celebrity to these people. They would rather not know any truth.

Obama can't do diddly squat, period!

Expound, please.

With his leadership and ideology, he is proving he can do a lot.... damage.

He is the antithesis of people like Ronald Reagan. We need a "Founder" to

bubble to the top, right now. Someone like a Jefferson or Washington

would do.
