Here's The Ugly Truth: Once the Oil Hits The Water, There's Nothing That Can Be Done
Advertisements [?]
The ecology is changed for a long time to come, and it's going to take decades and extreme diligence to reverse the damaging effects. No amount of skimmers or supposed tankers that can suck up the oil can reverse the ill effects of this spill.

So, Obama can put on a flight suit and yell at BP through a bull horn, and that won't make one bit of difference.

Any criticism of Obama over this is just an opportunity for those that do not like him to take him down over something, anything.

This disaster is the fault of a political generational mindset that regulations are bad and should be avoided at all cost because they restrict "free markets". That mindset is prevelant amongst all politicians, Dems and Repubs alike.
