And when questioned about why things did not change after his admin took over he inferred that they did some changes but kind of left it up in the air. So maybe he didn't have time to do all those changes cause he was so darn busy changing everything else in America. I am SO sick of him and all of his excuses  and blaming, not to mention evading. There is absolutes NO reason he cannot answer that question about Sestak - if he knows that nothing "inappropriate" occurred than why can't he say what DID occur? And his claim that he didn't know until yesterday that the MMS person "resigned" and had no details is bullsh!t. America does not deserve this kind of lying!

No I'm not satisfied.  Sestak was contacted several times over a long period of time.  The official statement only mentions one offer.  It does not specifically say that other offers were not also made over that period of time when they were "working on" Sestak. 

The only thing I can find for an implied offer from Reagan involved Sen. Hayakawa.  Hayakawa, himself, said no actual contact occured.   I can find nothing about any actual job offer contacts re: quid pro quo involving the Bushes.   In Sestak's case an official contact with an offer did occur.

Re-posting from May 1st. Mal, the king had the power, the funding, and the authority and has blown it. This might help you decide just who is in charge....

Overview

The Oil Pollution Act (OPA) was signed into law in August 1990, largely in response to rising public concern following the Exxon Valdez incident. The OPA improved the nation's ability to prevent and respond to oil spills by establishing provisions that ***expand the federal government's ability, and provide the money and resources necessary, to respond to oil spills***. The OPA also created the national Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, which is available to provide up to one billion dollars per spill incident.

In addition, the OPA provided new requirements for contingency planning both by government and industry. The National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) has been expanded in a three-tiered approach: the Federal government is required to direct all public and private response efforts for certain types of spill events; Area Committees -- composed of federal, state, and local government officials -- must develop detailed, location-specific Area Contingency Plans; and owners or operators of vessels and certain facilities that pose a serious threat to the environment must prepare their own Facility Response Plans.

Finally, the OPA increased penalties for regulatory noncompliance, broadened the response and enforcement authorities of the Federal government, and preserved State authority to establish law governing oil spill prevention and response.

I don't think we need any more excuses from the nobama admin! Go ahead barry...just keep worrying about those vicious little old lady teapartiers, those heavily racist cops in Arizona picking on illegals, and those people in Iowa you visted instead of our southern coastline. Everything was put in place for you to handle this spill, barry....and you waited.
