Obama Oil Spill Press Conference: Government In Charge Of Oil Disaster Response

The WhiteHouse had the live feed from the first day & said nothing, did nothing, kept scientists & independent observers from the area, as BP l!ed about the amount of oil & gas gushing into the Gulf.



It's been clear to me since day one that the plan has always been to drill a relief well (which will take months & may not work), downplay the situation as much as possible in an effort to stall public pressure to treat this with any urgency.



"It may not be possible to fix this. What that means is that if it isn't fixed, that well will continue to gush until there's no more oil in it or the pressure gradients have matched up. It will take 9000 days (30 years) for this well to run dry, & waiting until August for the relief well to be drilled is too late to save the Gulf, the east coast of US & the N. Atlantic Ocean."



-Matthew Simmons, one of the world's leading oil experts to Dylan Ratigan this week.



Joining Ratigan and Simmons, Captain Dave Ballay & Eliot Spitzer, who talks about what Obama must do.

If this is so, if top k!ll doesn't work, this isn't a job for a foreign oil corporation, but for the US government, the US military (the Navy and Army Corps of Engineers). Listen to the clip.
