Spill, Baby, Spill:Our Environment Being Devastated

THE DOCTOR IS IN
_________________

LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

British petroleum still is attempting to cap the oil well that is endangering the environment off of the Louisiana coast. Birds, fish, and sea turtles have been found dead along the Louisiana coast. What does some government officials say? Would you believe they say that they can't be sure the recent oil disaster caused the death of all of the recent sea life.

Here's the scenario: Prior to the oil explosion and over 200,000 gallons of oil a day being released in the water, the birds and sea life was doing just fine. Shortly following the oil disaster, dead fish, birds, turtles wash up on the beach. Is two and two four? I think so! Yet government officials are trying to distance themselves from the disaster. I say, people, if you go to bed at night and the next morning you wake and look out the window and there is snow on the ground, you can CONCLUDE that it did indeed snow during the night.

This disaster that appears to be ready to dwarf the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill is the fault of both the Bush and Obama administrations. Cheney and Bush, solid oil men allowed British petroleum to bypass safety measures that were mandatory in other countries who did deep ocean drilling. The Bus, Cheney administration let this large oil giant get away without installing an acoustic shut off switch at the well site. It was a small expense considering what that oil rig was pumping out but to save a few bucks Bush/Cheney gave in to BP's requests. Second,Halliburton, which was headed by Cheney was the firm in charge of cementing the well a short time before it blew out.Halliburton was in charge of cementing other deep sea oil rigs that blew up. Recently one oil rig off Australia blew out. Would you say that there is something the matter with Halliburton and its cement procedure or the cement itself ? Could be!

Obamas share of the blame in this oil rig explosion and environmental disaster is that he gave the job of Interior to a close friend Ken Salazar. But this guy has many deep ties to big oil and has been a staunch partner with big oil companies. He has had connections with the oil industry for quite some time. Salazar lobbied this administration to allow deep well oil drilling of the coasts in Alaska, the Atlantic , the North Atlantic and other very sensitive ocean areas.

Obama also let British Petroleum bypass environmental rules and regulations and because of that we now have this catastrophic environmental wasteland that may take years, (maybe) if we are lucky, to even get back to some basic livable condition the land and sea was in prior to the fiasco. To give an example--the Exxon Valdez 1989 oil spill and you can still scoop up large globs of crude oil in your hand. And remember, that oil spill was said to be cleaned up years ago. What a lie! And, that's my opinion. People, draw your own conclusions. You decide.
