Underwater blowout, BP admits it cannot stop leak, planned evacuations on gulf

[White Israelite]

This is some really serious stuff. I think this could be an ocean killer.

It seems more media should be covering this in a bigger way.  Maybe I just am looking in the wrong places, usually I am focused on Israeli and Jewish news.

I'm not very fond of Olbermann but I'm glad he's covering this story.

It is not being allowed by the Obamanation Regime. Very few reporters are being allowed in and those that are have been embedded by the gov. Welcome to the Forth Reich on the Planetary Plantation.

They should plug that big hole with two other little holes -- Rosie O'Donnell and Helen Thomas!

How lame, but not surprising.  Obama's admin is doomed from this alone.  Inept leadership that sat on its duff.  Not to mention he is the BP candidate of choice [largest recipient of BP campaign funds].

BP's executives should be executed. Simple as that. Try them and put them all to death. The damage they've done is immeasurable.

[White Israelite]

These people are just asking for cancer.

[TheCoon]

It defies logic that the most powerful nation on the planet can't solve this. They're content to let the oil bastards handle it. Obama that worthless piece of [censored] sitting in the White House while Americans on the Gulf are losing everything, animals, plants and entire ecosystems are dying and he's off eating chitlins with his monkey wife. Obama has made America the weakest nation on the planet that they're too afraid to even step on an oil company's toes.

[censored] Obama and all the nazi scum in the White House. I hope they all die of cancer.

Galveston, TX is preparing in case it comes this way:

Galveston is a great place to visit when it's not busy. There are some wonderful shells to be found on the beaches and lots of bird life. It's a real shame that this could be put in jeopardy too.

I love the Bolivar peninsula and its Crystal beach. It's where I found my lightning whelk shells.

BP has turned the Gulf of Mexico into the DEAD SEA! 

I just can't understand how BP never had backup plans for this kind of eventuality.  They are ruining the only planet we have!

I think BP wanted to burn off the oil which came to the top, but the EPA would not let them.  I'm not sure what to think about that.

I live all the way up in the North East and for some reason I think the toll of the Gulf is beginning to make its way up north in the Atlantic. Just in the matter of a few weeks 2 dead whales which is very very rare, washed up ashore of Long Island.  I don't think it is a fluke thing. Now, especially 2.

I must admit to feeling more than a little confused with regard to this oil leak in the Gulf Coast!

For over a decade now, JTF has been demanding that drilling for oil be allowed in North America everywhere that there are known petroleum deposits, to aid America's becoming less dependent on foreign energy sources.

JTF has repeatedly and consistently denounced all who favored maintaining the ban on offshore and Arctic wilderness drilling due to worries about damage to the environment, as Democrats, traitors, liberals, tree-huggers, environmentalist whackos, and the like, and this is good.

Now, all because of a little accident, people on the forum are suddenly denouncing British Petroleum and Obama (the Oil Company doing the drilling, and the person who gave them permission to drill) as criminals and villains responsible for destroying our planet and poisoning our ecosystem.

Of course, all major industrial operations entail some degree of risk, but it seems to me that if the risk is acceptable in terms of the potential rewards, then we should just forget the accident, keep drilling, and continue with denouncing any and all opponents of energy exploration.

I am happy to forever lose our entire Southeastern coast, its wetlands, beaches, wildlife, fishing, tourism, and jobs, in order to go to sleep at night knowing that America is now less dependent on A-rabs.

The oil that leaked will eventually just dry up and go away, so why worry about it.

I have no problem drilling domestically for oil. I would just like to see it done on land and in shallower water before going down one mile below sea level. And, as I've stated before, accidents happen and always will. The issue is, how are the accidents handled once they do happen. It seems obvious that the safeguards that should have been in place did not work. So the answer should be to reevaluate the safeguards so this level of damage never happens again; not to never, ever drill for oil anywhere near the U.S. again.

this is sad.i always loved marine animals.

BP and the US Gov't are the villains because they had no plan in place to stop something like this from happening. Obama and his [censored] government is the main evil because they're sitting back and partying while this is happening. At least BP is doing something, even if it isn't anywhere near enough. There's a lot of good righteous people who are going to lose their livelihoods because of this and Obama's COON government doesn't give a [censored] about them.

Are you going to tell me the multi-trillion dollar USA can't plug a damn hole in the ocean? Obama should have forced BP out and used everything in his disposal to get it closed. What he's doing is using this tragedy as an excuse to stop America becoming energy independent. I have no problem with drilling, but there damn well better be solid measures in place to stop this disasters like this from happening.

We're stewards of this world whether we like it or not. The environmental destruction means people on the gulf's lives will be changed forever and for the worse. And Barrack ON|gger doesn't give a flying [censored].

some of my relatives who worked in american companies which provided drilling fluids for BP , might be affected due to all this. I can only pray for good.
