yes, it does. In fact, there are a number of "oil seeps" off the California coast. Oil just leaches off into the ocean. The current political climate won't allow us to drill for it (and, I'd think, maybe help control the seeps).

This was a good article, with plenty of perspective. This is an issue that needs to be fixed, but neither is it the end of the world.

Which is strange, because all of the MSM coverage that I've seen certainly is portraying it as such. :-)

Would be nice to put little funnel sucker pumps down on the seeps to collect that oil.

The MSM has suddenly backed off!
They’ve been given their marching orders because it is making Obama look bad. Just wait until those beautiful white sand beaches in the gulf turn black and are littered with oily dead birds! And wait until the coral in the Keys is dead.

Black oily beaches will equal Obama NOT winning FL in the next election.
