Obama promises to clean up Gulf oil spill

"U.S. President Barack Obama called a surging oil spill, which was about 15 kilometres from the southeastern Louisiana coastline, a "massive and potentially unprecedented environmental disaster" and has promised to do whatever it takes to stop it and clean it up. Obama made the comments Sunday in Venice, La., after seeing for himself the growing oil slick and meeting with officials from the navy and the coast guard as well as Gov. Bobby Jindal. "The American people are now aware, certainly, the folks down in the Gulf are aware, that we're dealing with a massive and potentially unprecedented environmental disaster," he said. "The oil that is still leaking from the well could seriously damage the economy and the environment of our Gulf states, and it could extend for a long time."

What else would you expect to hear from Obasma? Yes this is a major spill. What caused the explosion is not yet known. The gulf stream could take this oil spill around Florida and up the east coast. BP is blaming a blowout preventer that failed to prevent this great spill.
Hey listen, I could fly to mexico or one of the gulf states, buy some explosive supplies, rent a boat and scuba equipment, and sail out to the vicinity of the oil rig, then scuba dive to plant explosive on this blowout preventer. I would have paid cash for everything, and would be back in Gowan Brae before the explosion.
Just saying...
