GULF ISLANDS NATIONAL SEASHORE, Fla. — Waves of gooey tar blobs were washing ashore on the white sand of the Florida Panhandle and nearby Alabama beaches Friday as a slick from the BP spill moved closer to shore.

Looks like Florida can kiss it`s wildlife and economy goodby, along with Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. And it looks like the latest attempt to stop the gusher made things worse.

It makes my heart sick to think that my favorite beach area is being struck by this BP/Obama plague.

Not a cleanup crew in sight, of course. Where are the Emperors “shovel ready jobs” crews?

Hitting Florida will take it to a different level.

Just wait until it hits the East Coast. I would bet that the leak will have to be blown up and hope for the best. It’s a tough problem. I wish I had the answer.

No pictures? Probably 3 tar balls washed up.

Where are the Emperors “shovel ready jobs” crews?

They are permanently assigned to teleprompter duty to shovel all the crap coming out of Obama's piehole.

Half a million census takers need extra work...

I have no doubt it will get worse but the constant drumbeat of disaster with no pictures gets old. As if they (reporters) are determined to be the first one with the story that white beaches are now black with oil before they really see it.

Here is the picture of the "waves of blobs" in our local news so far:

Indeed. No one in the press has a freaking camera?

Tar balls have begun to wash up on Florida's Pensacola Beach

Did you hear that the Coast Guard removed all the oil barriers from Alabama and Mississippi so they could be redeployed to Louisiana?

I'm sure this has something to do with not creating a situation in which anyone can come down on Obama like they came down on Bush for Katrina.

[Frantzie]

Guess waht - tar balls have been coming ashore on East Coast FL beaches for 50+ years or more and there is no offshore drilling there.

I just got back to the hotel here in Pensacola Beach and it’s washing ashore here... there’s a neat little tar ball stain on my shorts where it splashed up from the surf.

Surf must be UP!!!

sad..sad....sad....sad....to the point i’m infuriated...

F-U obama; keep playing more golf and basketball dumb@ss...

Actually, they're roughly a foot apart and gathering. Here's a link:

BayNews 9: Blobs of oil washing up on Florida shores

If U.S. officials had followed up on a 1994 response plan for a major Gulf oil spill, it is possible that the spill could have been kept under control and far from land. http://blog.al.com/live/2010/05/fire_boom_oil_spill_raines.html

Obama says that he was in charge since day one, so why hasnt Obama done this?

[Dutchgirl]

Don’t they have booms to cordon off Santa Rosa Sound?
