Carville: Obama Needs to Lift Drilling Moratorium ASAP

[MadBadger]

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/james-carville-obama-needs-to-lift-drilling-moratorium-asap/

Perhaps surprisingly, Carville wants the moratorium on off-shore drilling to be lifted as quickly as possible:

“The moratorium is wrecking the economy down here…you take fishing and you take petroleum away down here and you don’t have a whole lot left.”

It goes without saying, that Carville thinks more “stringent regulations” should go hand-in-hand with a return to drilling but “properly regulated and properly done…it can be done much much better.”

1. Oh so the regulations are all fixed already?

That's reassuring.

:eyes:

[NotThisTime]

12. Yup, they fixed themselves over the last 55 days... that's great...

[notesdev]

2. Is no surprise

The "Ragin' Cajun" is from LA and he knows what is important down there. The spill having destroyed the fishing industry already, if you take away their oil industry there's not much left to keep them going.

Once again a detatched, clueless federal government screws Louisiana both coming and going.

36. I read here he owns a consulting

firm that does business with BP? Perhaps he has a conflict of interest.

3. The James Carville Weather Vane

Which way's the wind blowing today, Jim?

[Old and In the Way]

9. Very wierd...

I was just reading this thread, saw your response, and immediately got an incoming e-mail from James Carville. With the subject line "The weather".

Talk about sychronicity...OK, it had nothing to do with the oil spill, it's a fundraiser for the DSCC using the teapartiers....but still.

[geardaddy]

16. Exactly.

What's Mary whispering in his ear?

[lsewpershad]

30. When would

this dickhead just disappear and take his Moll" with him?

[Dappleganger]

4. If he's screaming for big oil, he's no longer a democrat.

People, let's get real and shove this guy overboard!

[Barack_America]

22. He just screams for attention.

[tomg]

5. I guess he had to earn his

invitation to the wedding one way or another.

[Bragi]

6. Carville part of setup for Tuesday speech?

It finally looks like Carville is back onside with the White House.

When Obama announces the end of the brief drilling moratorium in his speech tomorrow, Carville will be there applauding.

The great news is that once Obama puts in his real tough new deepwater oil extraction regulations, there will never ever be another deepwater oil blowout, never ever again, and the oceans will be safe forever!

Yeah, right. For sure.

[sandnsea]

7. It's a moratorium on new drilling

There are still 4,000 wells going down there. I don't know what the hell game these people are playing. Carville sure exposes who he is, no wonder he can live with Matalin so well. He's probably just like her.

[City Lights]

8. Shut up, James.

:thumbsdown:

[driver8]

10. Carville is such an asshole. STFU! n/t

[TheKentuckian]

11. Ahh, Skeletor is back to full on corporate shill stupidity mode

What could possibly indicate to these morons that we can drill safely now?

Have there been some new technologies developed while I slept? Is Uncle Sam now up to a legit oversight role?

Wanting to resume drilling at this point is stupicidal.

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. 'We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. '

Little does he know what the real
lord of the ring wants with the ring of power.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. Sounds like the typical Obama hater to me.

[fascisthunter]

14. shut your pie-hole you pro-business maggot mole

[JDPriestly]

15. How can they continue drilling with oil globs in the water?

That's like the drunk who keeps drinking even though he can't stand up any more.

That's just crazy talk, a voice of desperation. What good is money when your environment is killing you? And that is where we are headed if we keep drilling.

Thank God, there is no drilling off California. Our state may be bankrupt, but we have protected our environment. We remember what really thick smog was like. We remember the harm the Santa Susannah waste dump caused. We have to live with frequent menacing forest fires. Environment first.

[XemaSab]

21. There is totally drilling off California

The entire southern coast of Santa Barbara has rigs on it.

[JDPriestly]

32. But do we allow new rigs? I don't think so.

The rigs that exist continue to pump, but I understood they are not drilling new rigs. Am I wrong?

[amborin]

17. WTF?! he's lost me; this is the insane 'environment vs economy' false dichotomy

[marmar]

18. No surprise....Just Carville confirming what a sack of sh*t he is.

nt

[G_j]

20. +100

[ProSense]

23. Carville has an ulterior motive?

:rofl:

[NightWatcher]

24. which is it, is the oil killing the area or needed to save the area?

you cannot have it both ways

[LaurenG]

25. Does he just not get it?

We have a serious environmental emergency and he wants to drill some more...now?

[Scurrilous]

26. LOL

What an ---.

[blindpig]

27. What a dickhead

Kill Capitalism

[4_TN_TITANS]

28. Looks like Carville finally got the 'important' memo

from Big Oil. Someday, maybe he'll figure out that he's just not relevant anymore.

[Ichingcarpenter]

29. James Carville co-founded a BP-linked company

He (Greenberg) is the CEO of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, a polling and consulting firm, and co-founder (with James Carville and Bob Shrum) of Democracy Corps, a non-profit organization which produces left-leaning political strategy. He is married to Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, who currently represents Connecticut's 3rd congressional district.

31. see and you guy's were all pissed at president obama. n/t.

[maryf]

33. properly regulated and properly done…

would mean shutting them all down to me...Water is life...

[Downtown Hound]

34. Carville needs to put a grenade in his mouth and pull the pin

That dickhead's time long ago passed. At first he's all enraged about the oil spill and Obama's reaction to it, and now he wants to drill more?

Enough of Bi-Polar boy. Go choke on some oil fuckface.

[Canuckistanian]

35. I think Carville should be properly regulated

I've personally imposed a moratorium on listening to whatever that dickhead has to say.
