In the days since the BP oil spill began, the failure to stop the leak has caused incredible anger and frustration -- especially for the people of the Gulf Coast struggling to survive one of the worst environmental disasters in our nation's history.
This leak is an unprecedented catastrophe and a technical challenge unlike any we've ever seen. We are pressing for every possible remedy to keep oil from flowing into the Gulf, and to capture as much as we can while relief wells are drilled that will permanently stop the leak. We are relying on a team of scientists and experts from our own laboratories and from around the world -- led by our Energy Secretary and Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Chu. And we've ordered BP to send additional equipment to facilitate the capture of oil and the capping of the well.
But with so much oil already in the Gulf, and more likely to spill before this catastrophe is over, we are also doing everything in our power to protect the coastline.
The federal government is in the midst of the largest cleanup effort in the nation's history. I have authorized 17,500 members of the National Guard, and more than 24,700 people are currently working around the clock, across four states, to help contain the oil and clean the mess. More than 5,500 vessels are assisting in the effort, and more than 5 million feet of boom are soaking up oil and protecting habitat.
BP has now captured more than 4.6 million gallons of oil from the Gulf waters -- in addition to 3.8 million gallons of oil burned and 18.5 million gallons of oily water skimmed from the surface. And we have approved the construction of new barrier islands, paid for by BP...(continued)

If you say so.
We are with you: A guest column by President Obama
which he himself did not write.
too little too late. This guy is becoming a bad stand-up routine.
I wonder if that scumbag Ubama had this column ghost-written by Bill Ayres?
I’ll use an internet meme, here. Lolwut????
Is this propaganda or what?
Bill Ayers? David Axelrod? Ward Churchill?
"Barack Obama is president."
That was an odd way to end the article ... LOL ... It got me to wondering if it was supposed to say ...
"Barack Obama is present."
Is this propaganda or what?

“This guy is becoming a bad stand-up routine”.
Wow. That’s good.
“We are with you: A guest column by President Obama”
They must be having a party if Odumbo is there.
Is this propaganda or what?>>>
Not only that, the word is out D & R, we don’t believe you anymore nor trust you.
It’s funny, & they wonder how Greene won.
CAN YA HER US YET.
“Barack Obama is president.”
Zero was supposed to have written this himself and ends the statement with Barack Obama is president?? Even he doesn’t believe and is trying to convince himself of this??
Or perhaps it was supposed to have meant “present”, not “president”...so I guess this is just another lie—that he didn’t even write this.
Obama, the oleaginous king...
Cheers
The extra spaces indicate that Zer0 did not write that bit, but the editor did.
Why the editor felt the need to tell us that is another question...
I would like to know what kind of law can be enacted to prevent ACCIDENTS from happening??? Does he think he is God??? Oh, never mind, I think I know the answer to that question!
Agreed. I am certain that the teleprompter wrote this for him.

Stephen Chu is a Nobel-prize-winning physicist? I would never have known.
