President Obama during his news conference took great pains to impress upon the public and notably the MSM that he was in charge and was so since day one. He proclaimed on the very first day he had put together a special situational awareness group just to track the progress of the oil spill. So let’s take President Obama at his word that he was in charge since day one and that the buck stopped with him. Let’s look at three of his decisions since the major oil leak turned into an ecological catastrophe of historic proportions.
The government for some years now had worked out a contingency plan for just such an oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. The well-researched protocol called for a burn off of the fresh crude oil reaching the water’s surface to prevent it from dispersing and drifting to the Gulf Coast. In the event of a massive spill there were only two alternatives, burn it off OR disperse it. The problem with dispersants and why ships in port normally ban its use is it contaminates the water column making it potentially poisonous to all marine life. This is on top of the potential poisonous nature of the dispersant itself. Once the magnitude of the spill became clear, only a few days were available to burn off the crude before it dispersed too widely for an effective burn off. President Obama, the man who claims to be in charge in essence made the fateful decision to disregard the oil spill protocol and dither thus forcing the use of dispersant to mitigate the damage to the estuaries.

HOME RUN PING!! Thanks for the ping Hoodat!
” Obama is your creation and you got what you wished for, a spoiled insecure incompetent politician who is now more interested in saving his hide by finger pointing than dealing with his failures and growing into the person the country needs him to be. Thanks a lot guys. So you in the MSM now need to face up to your failures affecting the nation and the environment, get Obama to appoint a point person as suggested or call for his resignation. “

LOL.
There was a post a couple of days ago listing several people (Soros Buffet etc) who purchased large amount of stock (Last Nov IIRC) in the company that manufactures this dispersant.
I'm just curious. If you run across it please ping me to it.....
Here is one of the links:

Hope this helps.
Wow! Have you read any of the first link....If FOX would report and let them people make their own mind up...The lefties would go wild!
I think the whole country would ‘go wild’. It would certainly wake up the vast majority of this country anyway(some lefties are too far gone...lol). It’s the perfect thing for Beck to expose.
Yelp...In coming
