So oil doesn't dissipate or evaporate? That's news. My only point is that this is a terrible event, fraught with mistakes on the part of BP and the government. It's just not the end of the world or even the GOM. The ocean does clean itself up, because I don't think God would design a system where oil or methane seeped into the ocean and it wasn't cleaned up. That has only been happening for billions of years.

When people on our side freak out and say it will never be cleaned up, or it will take 100 years, they are playing into the hands of the left. That argument will be used against us in the future, just as it is now with the Global Warming fraud.

My main point of contention is with the media. If this were a Republican Administration, they would be going nuts. Now you can't even take pictures. Eventually the left is going to use quotes like yours to go after BP. By that I mean drive them out of business or take them over and that won't help one single Person or Dolphin or Oyster on the planet. They are already using this to kill the oil industry, and that will hurt the economy and the people of the Gulf region more than this accident ever will. Play into their hands if you like, I won't do it.

No, they are playing on the side of being rational. Minimizing the spill and its effects is helping Obama further his marxist agenda.

This spill and the inept response is his fault.
