[quote:Anonymous Coward 991287:MV8xMDg3NjAyXzE3MzMxODI2XzE0MTEwN0JB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 974164] Heh, idiot, this is to important to make a political issue of it, if you want to hang a politician, go hang Bush by the balls, he is the one that loosened all the rules. Other wise, good report. One more thing. This IS a political issue. Obama didn't do his job and he STILL isn't. Secondly, if you think he isn't going to use this disaster to pass Cap and Trade, you're naive. Just what excatly do you think he should have or could be doing. He didn't approve the emergency measures states requested for a month. He allowed BP to control the situation instead of letting the army Corps of Engineers tackle it. He took money from BP and he DID turn a blind eye on restrictions. When asked by the Whitehouse Press Corps weeks ago what Obama was doing Robert Gibbs stated ,"We sent BP a letter". He could sign one of his beloved a signing statements fining BP Billions not 63 million. They could put BP into receivership and take direct control of their operation. He could use his alleged "organizing" skills to gather more volunteers. It goes on and on dude don't try to defend this corporate shill. [/quote] Agreed. Obama is a corporate puppet, just like the last prez. They all are. [/quote]

Numerous reports of oil and tar balls in the southern Florida Keys and a confirmed siting of sheen by the U.S. Coast Guard prompted officials at the Dolphin Research Center in Grassy Key and Hawk’s Cay Resort in Duck Key to lay protective booming around their caged dolphin habitat. …
The Coast Guard station in Key West received reports of an oily substance and tar balls approximately four nautical miles south of Long Key. A Coast Guard HU-25 Guardian aircraft from Coast Guard Air Station Miami conducted an aerial search and confirmed the presence of sheening in the vicinity of Duck Key.
