"Deep water Horizon rig
When an oil rig has a spill it is indeed the Federal Govts responsibility to come to the rescue, it's not only national crisis but, an international one as well.
Obama took 8 days to acknowledge the spill publicly
Obama and Ken Salazar's first pledge as secretary of the interior
made a pledge with BP...In a January 29, 2009 press release concerning MMS (mineral management service) Salazar said "President Obama's and my goal is to restore the public's trust, to enact meaningful reform...to uphold the law, and to ensure that all of us -- career public servants and political appointees -- do our jobs with the highest level of integrity."

Three months later, Secretary Salazar allowed the MMS to approve -- with no environmental review -- the BP drilling operation that exploded on April 20, 2010, killing 11 workers...

BP submitted its drilling plan to the MMS on March 10, 2009. Rather than subject the plan to a detailed environmental review before approving it as required by the National Environmental Policy Act, the agency declared the plan to be "categorically excluded" from environmental analysis because it posed virtually no chance of harming the environment.

Obama knew that in 2006, while Salazar was in the Colorado Senate, he fought to get increased oil and gas leases in the Gulf Coast region, by sponsoring the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006.

Salazar personally intervened to get an exemption for Deepwater Horizon, and "filed a special motion asking the court to lift the injunction, and he cited the BP drilling several times by name in the request."

So now people are saying that Deepwater Horizen is Obama's Katrina which is really unfair to George Bush because he could not have prevented Hurricane Katrina, like Obama could and should have prevented the Deepwater Horizon disaster, by enforcing existing environmental law.

obama you play a far dirtier game of politics with American lives, than has ever been played in recent history...

Hurricane season is at hand. It brings the horrifying possibility of wind-whipped, oil-soaked waves and water spinning ashore and coating areas much farther inland. Imagine Katrina plus oil spill.

According to the experts, between 12,000 and 19,000 barrels of oil has been flowing into the Gulf each day - that's between 500,000 and 800,000 gallons - making for a total of about 30 million gallons of oil (at 800,000 gallons a day) that have spilled into the Gulf of Mexico....with a dissembling corporation, an ineffective government and an ocean surface covered by a viscous shell with the consistency of molasses and the peril of poison Lousiana is totally being destroyed... Where is our President! oh on Vacation, that's right!!
