Gulf seafood deformities alarm scientists

Eyeless shrimp and fish with lesions are becoming common, with BP oil pollution believed to be the likely cause.

New Orleans, LA - "The fishermen have never seen anything like this," Dr Jim Cowan told Al Jazeera. "And in my 20 years working on red snapper, looking at somewhere between 20 and 30,000 fish, I've never seen anything like this either."

And while the well spewed millions and millions of gallons of oil into the gulf... for 53 days ... before the president could be bothered to interrupt his fund raising/golf outings to appear to give a crap, he still had no idea as to whether the MMS chief was either fired or resigned.

But all is well now, he just let them pollute the water with even more toxic compounds in order to make it appear that the oil "disappeared"




Ou oh.... Thought we'd be outta office before this sh1t hit the fan....

Fortunately, by passing laws that restrict the media from actually reporting the news (under fear of not conforming to the state's wishes and thus being categorized as an enemy of the state {{TERRORIST!!}} and subject endless detainment), this hasn't been publicized:

or what we now know of the environmental impact of the dispersants:

Known long before Al Jazeera decided to promote the downfall of the Gulf.

Of course, they are the only ones safe to report the truth under BO's administration's watch.

Crazy freakin world, man.

Wrong. What an outright falsehood about the President's response.

Unfortunately, his account of the president's behavior was quite correct.

[Rudeboyelvis]

Exactly how many days had transpired before he finally decided it might be a good idea to sit down with BP Execs including Tony Hayward for the first time?


Here's a Clue - I'm thinking of a number between 52 and 54 days

Up until that point, he sat on his hands, blamed BP whenever he was asked questioned it, told Thad Allen to basically stay out of the way, and just sit back and watch the clusterfuk unfold with absolutely no sense of urgency whatsoever. His commanding presence and direction was to simply "let BP handle it" - as he had numerous fund raising dinners and of course the endless golf outings on his calendar.

pretty damn accurate from what I remember.

Obama was an embarassment with his response. If it had been Bush, the media would have killed him.

This would be quite interesting. I can think of a few positive situations that could happen from this.

Oh jeez. I'm actually with you that Obama's response to the spill was weak, but please cut the "Bush was persecuted by the media" bullshit out.

While there is much to be discussed regarding what lead to the failure of Deepwater Horizon, and the management of the disaster, the phrase, "And while the well spewed millions and millions of gallons of oil into the gulf... for 53 days ... before the president could be bothered to interrupt his fund raising/golf outings to appear to give a crap" is a bunch of completely false baloney, and everyone knows it.

The facts are the Feds had personnel on-scene the day after the explosion, and the administration was paying attention from day one.

The ridiculousness of proponents of small government retroactively blaming Obama for the country being dependent upon the well-drilling professionals working with the government for mitigating the disaster, as if our government owned it's own oil-well drilling equipment and employs rig personnel that could have displaced the crews of the well owners and taken over the scene, isn't lost on anyone.

Especially in light of what the investigation of the incident revealed about BP, Halliburton and TransOcean.

And while the mere mention of the ongoing severe consequences of BP, Halliburton and TransOcean's incompetence in drilling this well strangely but predictably produced a rabidly reflexive demonstration of Obama Derangement Syndrome from the usual, as if he were responsible, the facts are that the environmental impact continues.

So if anybody would like to address the subject of the thread, rather than using it as an excuse for another ridiculous outbreak of Obama Derangement Syndrome, have at it.

First, no. I don't believe "government is the answer to everything" in the least. Never have.

Secondly, the "government" was there from day one.

What do you think "the government" should have done instead? Borrow Cameron's submersible while Obama went down and fixed the spill himself with his Messiah robe stuffed into the spilling oil?

And again: this thread is not about relitigating what caused Deepwater Horizon.

[Antitrust32]

this thread is about whatever we make of it!

Obama screwed up big time by rejecting Dutch help.. they were offering ships and plans to save environmental destruction 3 days after the spill began. Obama said "thanks but no thanks"

The dutch ships were pretty much the best tool out there for skimming oil and creating berms. Obama said no, until he much later realized he was really really stupid for doing that.


"As of 6 May, the United Nations and 14 countries had offered assistance. The U.S. government declined the offers, with a State Department email to reporters stating "there is no need right now that the U.S. cannot meet." The countries offering help were Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Iran, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Romania, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.[19][20] " - wiki

It wasnt until the middle of June until our government accepted any help. By then the disaster was out of control!
