An oil spill in the gulf of Mexico over the summertime doesn't stand much of a chance. 90 degree surface water, 100' sun is much different than Prince William sound. Poof, evaporation happens fast. BTW- I call BS on this oil below the surface crap. Until somebody can fully explain how oil, which is lighter than water, and therefore will float ontop the water, can remain under the water, I'm calling BS as in MSM lies!

“which is lighter than water, and therefore will float ontop the water, can remain under the water”

Dispersant's sprayed on it would be the answer. The idea is that the dispersant's basically just made the oil sink; out of sight, out of mind.

I do not that this is for sure the case; but that has been widely speculated.

No, no, NO!!!

Have/had BP been deploying air observers to direct the skimming crews, or were they on their own to find the oil slicks?

[Parley Baer]

Backs up what Rush was saying. Now if Obama had put the skimmers to work right away most of this drama would not have occurred.

[penelopesire]

The dispersents were applied below the surface at the site of the leak. That is why much of the oil is underwater and scattered around the entire gulf. I certainly don’t trust the O Tribe Media to be telling us the truth now either. Remember...their number ONE PRIORITY IS PROTECTING OBAMA AND THE PROGRESSIVES. They don’t care if our Gulf is poisoned or not right now....it’s all about Obama...all the time.

Carvile, Matalin, CNN and Obama have been paid off. Now it will be the ‘Saving of yhe Gulf’. HAHAH.

What a bunch of psycho babble. Really means - “Don’t ask me, I don’t have a friggin clue”.

[Brilliant]

Yes, but think of all the jobs we’ve created by making BP hire these guys to look for oil that isn’t there?

"[It's] mother nature doing her job," said Ed Overton, a professor of environmental studies at Louisiana State University.

I was going to say the same thing. During WW2 ships were sunk all up and down the eastern seaboard and all over the Pacific. Oil was washed up on beaches all over the place. My mother said she saw this in eastern Virginia and North Carolina during the early days of WW2. But eventually it just seemed to go away as mother nature took care of the problem. My understanding (and I'm far from an expert) is that oil seeps up all the time naturally from the cracks and crevasses in the earth. This is a natural process and mother nature takes care of the problem. Surfers in Santa Barbara have known this for a very long time.

My gut instinct tells me that this isn't as much of a disaster as the news media has told us. I'm hoping this is the case. But you just know if the environmentalists can detect oil even in parts per billion they will make a big deal of it and you can depend on the MSM showing it over and over and over.

Where are the schools of dead fish? They even tested the shrimp and found them perfectly fine. Looks like God made a perfect system.

We should all be grateful to our president for waving his hand and accomplishing this miraculous feat!

[deport]

The dispersants must have done their job.........

[kenth]

So, we’re not all gonna die?

[Nachum]

Well, I guess that they can turn off the crisis. They got what they wanted.

* Shut down oil production permanently
* Made sleazy deals to continue oil production elsewhere
* Made large numbers of people completely dependent on government aid
* Lined the pockets of their friends
* Get paid back with billions in campaign donations
* Destroyed all of BP's competition

[arthurus]

That’s what that “dispersant” is supposed to do- make the oil clump up and float a little below the surface for a more aesthetic oil disaster.

[XenaLee]

Well....then....there is no reason for any offshore drilling moratorium. No big deal, no problem. That’s simple enough. Then why is Obama still trying to stop the drilling?

[revo evom]

The oceans have been eating oil since there’s been oil and oceans.

[RedMDer]

Dont you that Daddy plugged the hole and its not going to be that bad for the November elections.
Because these are not the Jedi that you are looking for. Its the EEvil Repulicans that are to blame.

Lets keep this front and center. Expose and throw them out.
