Obama's administration tells BP to stop using the toxic dispersant until they provide in-depth reports to prove why other alternatives are not possible. BP sends back a brief letter saying, "We looked at other alternatives. Nothing else will work", then ignores the order and continues using the toxic dispersant WITHOUT submitting the in-depth analysis that they were ordered to provide.

Obama's administration orders a moratorium on all new drilling project licenses and environmental waivers for the Gulf...and that order is ignored. At least seven new permits and five new environmental waivers have been issued since Obama ordered the freeze.

Yeah those are only two incidents, but when is the last time that ONE direct order from a President was basically IGNORED...much less two this close together? What the hell is going on?!

:wtf:
