Barack Obama tries to pick the tar balls off of his legacy

What did the President know and when did he know it?

According to Richard Wolffe Barack Obama was apprised not only of the leak, but of the magnitude of the leak, how hard it would be to repair and how long it could go on:

Critics have bashed President Obama for being slow to seize the political initiative in combating the BP oil spill in the Gulf Coast, now widely believed to be the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history. The White House has battled back, releasing a timeline of events showing that Obama was briefed—and deploying the Coast Guard—within 24 hours of the Deepwater Horizon blowout.

What has not been previously disclosed: The president was not only briefed on the real-time events of the spill, but also on just how bad it would be—and how hard it would be to plug the hole.

This has nothing but bad written all over it:

Investigation reveals possible criminal activity connecting Obama to BP oil spill

http://www.examiner.com/x-37620-Conservative-Examiner~y2010m6d2-Investigation-reveals-possible-criminal-activity-connecting-Obama-to-BP-oil-spill

” - - The key is to follow the money trail.

JoAnne Moretti, along with a team of investigators, delved into records which pointed to a paper trail connecting the major players in this disaster—BP, Deep Water Horizon, Halliburton, Citigroup, Goldman-Sachs, the U.S. Government, and a company called ‘NALCO.’

“A few recognizable names of individuals involved in the paper trail also surfaced—Warren Buffet, George Soros, John Holdren, Tony Rezko....and Barack Obama. - - “

You are correct!

Just do a search using the phrase - ‘Obama and NALCO dispersants’ - and you will see mountains of evidence!

Gee whiz! I wonder why the media isn’t reporting this....

The dispersants are responsible for the oil remaining below the surface. This, causes worse damage and of course poisoning of our oceans with the materials used to disperse the oil instead of allowing it to move through the process of natural dispersal.

Federal law since 1999 directs the federal government to do a burn off in the event of a major spill.

Obama - and only Obama - is to blame for stopping that.

NALCO is associated with UChicago Argonne program. UChicago Argonne received $164 million dollars in stimulus funds this past year. UChicago Argonne just added two new executives to their roster. One from NALCO. The other from the Ill. Dept of Education.

If you dig a little deeper you will find NALCO is also associated with Warren Buffett, Maurice Strong, Al Gore, Soros, Apollo, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, Hathaway Berkshire.

Goldman-Sachs, Blackstone, and Apollo are all involved in NALCO.

Arab-Americans’ investments in companies that were aligned closely with key Chicago and Illinois politicians (including former Governor Rod Blagojevich).

Arab-American businessman, Ali Atta, had ties to Nalco.

The UK Sunday Times claimed that Libya had insisted that Lockerbie bomber al Megrahi be freed before it would approve an enormous contract with BP. BP announced the deal in May 2007, promising an initial investment of $900 million to explore two Libyan areas — one the size of Belgium and the other as large as Kuwait. But Libya did not approve the deal until after London dropped its objection to releasing al Megrahi, the Sunday Times alleged.
