Kind of coincidental that O is in Brazil, probably working on the Soros drilling efforts in Brazil while he’s partying in Brazil.

I’m surprised you didn’t see the parallel. Plus, we don’t know, so let’s see. Personally, I find it interesting that while Obama is in Brazil, the country that Soros has invested huge amounts of money for drilling....tada - another leak here in the Gulf. Those pesky leaks /s Makes us want to stop drilling here!

The original report came from a left wing web site out of Tallahassee. The other articles were about sea turtles and high speed rail.

I think I’ll wait on this one to see what the Coast Guard says before I get too upset.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Coast Guard has taken samples but could not identify the substance as oil. To me, this would make it seem incredibly obvious that it isn’t oil. I’m not a chemist or anything but I do believe oil would be very easy to identify.

The reason for $4.50 per gallon gas prices in California and high gas costs everywhere can be expained in one word:

LIBERALISM

Absolutely they are not, So glad to read someone saying it. ALSO, There was a huge earthquake a week or so ago! Where does oil come from? If this report weren’t so ignorant and arrogant, it would be funny! Do these idiots really think the ocean floor can have that huge a trauma and it not effect the natural resources that exist under it?

Actually, sabotage was one of my first thoughts too. What better way to screw with the US - especially with a weak POTUS and an administration that obviously doesn’t know what it’s doing...

Please explain how this is an “Obama disaster”...[personal invectives from OP elided]

Anything is both possible and quite likely with this evil, manipulative man at the helm. O'Bambi's scheme is to destroy the American oil industry in order to both lessen our economic might and to create his so-called "green" jobs.

"Never let a crisis go to waste" is a core, guiding principle of this rotten regime. When there's not a crisis, one must be manufactured via O'Bambi allies like George Soros and other leftists with deep pockets. Indeed, without question, the usurper has the means and the motive for such Obama-created disasters.
