"These are not little tar balls".
Obama due to speak in a few minutes (not on oil spill)

1. The New York Post did a number on the "tar balls" yesterday...

I was sick to my stomach for all the BP masturbation they engaged in...disgusting... :puke:

2. I listened to the guy he was interviewing and heard him refer to

himself as having been a friend to oil in the past. I found myself wondering how much squawking he did before to prevent offshore drilling when there wasn't a slick moving onto the shore. I'll bet you ten to one he saw oil as just bidness then.

3. He basically admitted that, without going into any detail - or wanting to.

A horrible, horrible, horrible price to pay for being wrong. It doesn't just visit itself upon him for being a short-sighted, greedy, penny-wise/pound-foolish, pro-business jerk. It deals a near-mortal blow to ALL OF US. ANY life form on the planet. WE ALL lose, across the country, and indeed across the whole freakin' WORLD - wherever those ocean currents touch. WHEREVER those ocean currents touch. As one who's been laughed at and scorned as a "tree-hugger" because, somehow, it was perceived as a bad thing to want to protect our environment and our beautiful planet - so far the ONLY life-sustaining planet that we know of in the universe - I take no joy in this, or schadenfreude. I don't even get any joy from the thought that - as the oil toxins move up the Florida coast, maybe some of them will foul the beach in front of rush limbaugh's mansion and the smell that will make the beach and surf utterly reek, thus ruining his nice evening oxycocktail outside on his beach chair. I'm sad even about that.

4. all deep water drilling should be halted immediately

and real clean-up should have begun the first day
this crap should not be reaching the shore
What the hell is going on Mr, President?
