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

Posted on 06/27/2010 7:31:55 AM PDT by Nachum

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,

even my old college friend who is an ardent leftist to the left of Obama knows he’s gay — it’s obvious in so many ways. He married M for her connections to Jesse Jackson and the CHicago machine.

Anyone who defends Obama’s reaction or rather lack of action on the Gulf oil spill has not been reading anything. Obama has actually actively obstructed the clean up of the oil spill at every turn.

This disaster is totally a criminal act by the U.S. government. There have been many offers of assistance from both private, public and even other governments, but all Zero has done is to prevent any effective cleanup to be done and to stop operations that were working.

It is way past time to get rid of this guy.

Impeach Obama.

“Goldman Sachs wasn’t alone either in its astute “foreknowledge” of the collapse of BP’s stock value due to the Gulf disaster as BP’s own chief executive, Tony Hayward, sold about one-third of his shares weeks before this catastrophe began unfolding too.
But according to this FSB report the largest seller of BP stock in the weeks before this disaster occurred was the American investment company known as Vanguard who through two of their financial arms (Vanguard Windsor II Investor and Vanguard Windsor Investor) unloaded over 1.5 million shares of BP stock saving their investors hundreds of millions of dollars, chief among them President Obama.
For though little known by the American people, their President Obama holds all of his wealth in just two Vanguard funds, Vanguard 500 Index Fund where he has 3 accounts and the Vanguard FTSE Social Index Fund where he holds another 3 accounts, all six of which the FSB estimates will earn Obama nearly $8.5 million a year and which over 10 years will equal the staggering sum of $85 million.
The FSB further estimates in this report that through Obama’s 3 accounts in the Vanguard 500 Index Fund he stands to make another $100 million over the next 10 years as their largest stock holding is in the energy giant Exxon Mobil they believe will eventually acquire BP and all of their assets for what will be essentially a “rock bottom” price and which very predictably BP has hired Goldman Sachs to advise them on.
Important to note is that none of this wealth Obama, Goldman Sachs, and other American elites is acquiring would be possible without this disaster, all of whom, as the evidence shows, “somehow” knew what was going to happen before it actually did, including the US energy giant Halliburton who 2 weeks prior to this disaster just happened to purchase the World’s largest oil disaster service company Boots & Coots”.

Jerald Ault, a professor at the University of Miami, said Corexit could have “significant” effects on the food chain and on environmental and human heath.

“It’s uncharted waters and the magnitudes are so large,” Ault said of the potential consequences and of the reports that dolphins and other animals are dying from the chemicals. “Eventually the correlation starts to say, (the animals) weren’t dying before and they are dying now. Geez, I wonder what the correlation is.”

In a letter to BP’s CEO Tony Hayward, officials from Louisiana asked about the unknown effects of dispersants.

“As heads of Louisiana’s agencies that oversee public health, environmental quality and wildlife and fisheries... we have serious concerns about the lack of information related to the use of dispersants in fighting the oil spill at and below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, and what, if any, impact the dispersants could have on our people, water and air quality,” the letter read.

BP replied and sent documents from Nalco — the manufacturer of Corexit — that classified the health and environmental risks as “low,” despite the fact that one of the ingredients causes damage to red blood cells and kidneys in laboratory animals

This happened in Federal waters, the Federal Government is automatically in charge. No one can move an inch with out their consent/blessing. They have done NOTHING but lawyer-up. Douche nozzles, every one of them, especially the nozzle with ears. There was a time when this country would have shown the world the breadth of our technology and innovation, and solve this problem as well as the clean-up with a passion. This admin only seems determined to ruin as many lives as wetlands.

I’m not so sure it was actually an “accident”. I’m not saying it was sabotage but somebody knew something prior to the blowout.

1. In the weeks prior to the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe BP CEO Tony Hayward sold 1/3 of his BP shares, using the money to pay off his family mansion.
2. During those same few weeks Goldman Sachs shorted 44% of its BP holdings, while Wachovia and UBS sold 98% and 97% of their BP holdings.
3. CEO Tony Hayward made $4.5 million last year = $12,000 A DAY – even since the Deepwater explosion
4. Deepwater Horizon oil rig owner, Transocean, made a whopping $270 million off the explosion and oil leak.
5. Part of BP’s cost-benefit analysis for determining how well to build employee housing included a document comparing employees to the Three Little Pigs, ultimately determining that dead employees were worth more to the company than what the more expensive and safer housing would cost.

Obviously there were warning signs and Hayward knew all of them. There was obviously a lot of short selling going on right before the well blew. I'm sure if you look at the history of these companies trading with BP stocks you would find that none of them were short selling these stocks until right before the blowout. BP was probably advertising that they were sitting on a very large oil reserve which made their stock a very lucrative investment. And then suddenly everyone starts to short sell right before the well is ready to start production?????

No, they knew in advance that this company was about to go south.

I was thinking about your post and maybe you don't realize that Obama's poll numbers have finally gone negative on all the polls, mostly due to his handling of the BP Gulf spill. Rasmussen did a poll last week on the likelihood of a civil war in this country in the next 25 years and the majority of respondents answered, yes. States rights are now the new campaign issue and I believe that even many of the registered Democrats will sign on to it.

The Obumbler is killing the Democrat Party.
