No skimmers in sight as oil floods into Mississippi waters
Mclatchy ^ | 6/27/10 | Karen Nelson

GULFPORT, Miss. — A morning flight over the Mississippi Sound showed long, wide ribbons of orange-colored oil for as far as the eye could see and acres of both heavy and light sheen moving into the Sound between the barrier islands. What was missing was any sign of skimming operations from Horn Island to Pass Christian. U.S. Rep. Gene Taylor got off the flight angry. "It’s criminal what’s going on out there," Taylor said minutes later. "This doesn’t have to happen.” A scientist onboard, Mike Carron with the Northern Gulf Institute, said with this scenario,

On the bright side, Obama shot a 55 on the back nine yesterday.

“It’s criminal what’s going on out there,” Taylor said minutes later. “

No kidding Mr. Taylor, but The One says that the skimmers “May” be “needed elsewhere”.
And with the drilling shutdown because they presumably ‘saw a danger’ with the other wells, those skimmers are tied up until The ONe needs another crisis.

Bombshell expose'. The real money is in the use of dispersements.

Oil dispersant manufacturer NALCO is associated with Exelon

and with ComEd -for which Axelrod did the PR which Bill Ayers' father was CEO.

Oh yes it does

He’s a Marxist and this is what he wants.

I can only conclude that this is deliberate. The leak may have been started by accident, but the disaster is clearly exactly what Obama wants. He does not want to limit the damage. He wants to wreck the economy of the entire gulf region. He is actually standing in the way of clean up and relief efforts.

He MUST be impeached!

No skimmers available?

Here's the biggest one in the world still tied up at Hampton Roads, VA. It can process 500,000 barrels a day and is still waiting for the EPA and Coast Guard red tape to unravel and permits to join in. Nobody seems to have any idea when it will be allowed to head to the Gulf - or even if it will be allowed to do so.

“After the flight Wicker said he feels it’s not too late for President Barack Obama to accept help from other countries that have offered the services of their large oil-skimming boats.

Wicker blamed bureaucracy and the president, but said, “Mississippi has been a champ from the beginning of this.”

He also said he noticed BP has been slow to accept prevention plans from local governments.”

OBAMA is the one who is supposed to give a crap and make sure this gets done RIGHT. Instead, he's busy watching the World Cup and congratulating the team or partying.

OBAMA doesn't want anything done to STOP the destruction. He wants THIS to serve as a disaster that will forever mar our land and people to STOP DRILLING OFF THE COAST ANYWHERE! OBAMA would like you to believe that ALL drilling off the coast will have something like this happen ALL the time. This is WHY he is fighting the removal of the moratorium on drilling off the coast for OIL that our country desperately needs so we can STOP being dependent on our ENEMIES. OBAMA is totally EVIL.

Our country is probably too broke to pay for that huge oil skimmer but shouldn’t the money from BP go towards that FIRST!
