::Would you really like a list of every oil rig that hasn't blown up? The two rigs that exploded are the exception, not the rule. I would like to provide another quote, but I don't know what goal we're trying to accomplish with the quotes. If there's a point we want to make it, I'll find a different quote that makes that point better. Just let me know what to look for. [[User:ChrisGT90|ChrisGT90]] 18:28, 2 September 2010 (EDT)

:::I think the point is that Obama knew the risks and irresponsibly tried to lull the public into complacency. If Obama had said "Oil rigs today generally don't cause spills, ''but we're going to watch them like a hawk to make sure they don't''", it might have been different. Instead, Obama's rehetoric was dismissive of this danger and America was caught unprepared. [[User:KyleDD|KyleDD]] 19:18, 2 September 2010 (EDT)
