A friend and gulf coast native now living in Seattle WA called yesterday to talk about the oil and gripe about BP. She actually said that "0bama really stayed tough on them!". I knew she was a lib and life long dem. ::sigh:: She went on to tell me that her sister told her the oil isn't really messing up the beaches too much. ARG!
I'm so tired of people living hundreds of miles away telling ME what is happening down here. The day the oil 'made landfall' I (and the local media) was in Gulf Shores and saw the activity...only to be told by a family member in Texas that "it's been there 3 days, duh" Uh, no.
Anyway... starting to breath easier here, as easy as one can with a gulf full of oil and who knows what in the air, lol.
LETS face it, he didn’t know what to do nor did any of his comrades. Hos goal was to stop drilling, done that now and will draw this ‘inspection’ out for a long time. The oil wells provide a lot of folks a good living or, did. No telling what he comes up with next to keep them closed down.
