Travis, while I agree with your assessment regarding how Obama may try to use this to his advantage in passing his anti-american agenda, I must tell you that when I use the term “game changer”, I mean as it pertains to life that currently inhabits this planet.
At this point, I do not care what that little, snot-nosed piece of stinking crap Obama has planned, because I believe that it pales in comparison to the damage that this oil catastrophe could potentially cause.
I will be the very first to admit that perhaps I am jumping the gun, perhaps I am over-reacting and buying into scenarios that are not likely, and honestly, I pray that I am. I will also say that if those relief wells fail to stop that flow when they are turned on to do that job, I will probably go off the deep end really fast. Sometimes I already feel like I may be on the edge of losing my mind.
I don't think so, nature has an amazing way of healing itself. There've been other spills in the gulf before. there's natural oil seeps all over the place that haven't killed off life as we know it. We'll get past this, too.
