Joe, I do personally believe that this is a “mega disaster”. At this point, it seems quite clear that there are no solutions in hand, and it also seems clear that the extent of this event is being covered up for whatever reason.
As a life-long resident of the deep south, and as a person who has enjoyed the gulf all throughout my life, this is very, very hard to stomach. I am DISGUSTED with BP, and I am DISGUSTED with Barack Obama.
God damn them all.

DITTO, DITTOS!
Play a dirge and funeral march for the Gulf, the fishing is over for at least a generation.
I also hate the terminology - leak, spill, F! It’s a GUSHER, an underwater volcano of oil.
They are lying about the amount. It’s MUCH more than even the highest estimates you have heard. Do you have any friends in the Coast Guard? Ask them what they are being told to say.
I’m pissed that they didn’t have a back up BOE. I pissed that on deep water wells they don’t have to have a relief well in place, but mostly I’m pissed about the cover up, slow response, clean up and LIES, LIES and more LIES. I don’t want them to shut down any wells in the GOM. I want them to keep drilling and keep pumping. BP is despicable, their record speaks for itself. BP, The Kenyan and the rest of his lying, cheating administration is covering up the intensity of this spill and I know that for a fact.
