Christie would make a “presidential” president. We need a return to the fat presidents of time past like almost every one of then from Ulysses S Grant to Warrren Harding
Plugging a hole nearly a mile deep is like pushing on a string. It might not make an accident more likely, but it surely makes fixing things once one happens more difficult by magnitudes.
I don’t agree with some of the points you just made.
-We have not depleted our reserves closer to shore. Some areas have just been barred from drilling since the backlash caused by the Santa Barbara oilspill many years ago.
-The level of engineering required for these deeper rigs, in all aspects (drilling, rigging, accident recivery) is orders of magnituse more difficult when one gets below about 2000 meters in depth.
But, etson, it does make a difference in the ability to cap off the blowout when it is in much deeper water. An onshore blowout is capped in a few hours.

Chris Christie needs to lose about 150 pounds
he’s morbidly obese!
“Slopey – And don’t forget his total crush on CHiller!”
Oooh, someone’s got a crush on me!?

Chris Christie is doing a great job in NJ….
“Chris Christie is the man to watch in this regard.” — now there is a guy who needs to lighten up.
