Obama: Ongoing Oil Spill 'Enraging,' 'Heartbreaking'

Elizabeth Birnbaum, Ken Salazar, Lisa Jackson, Carol Browner, (Rahm Emanuel, et al) were and are all following Obama's directives. This isn't that Obama was taken for a ride by BP or Bush-Cheney -- This is Obama hoping you think he was duped instead of the fact that Bush's policies are Obama's policies. The proof is that Obama has NOT shut down BP's other operations, like Atlantis, which is in worse shape than Deepwater Horizon. Obama is allowing offshore oil drilling by BP and other oil companies with bad records to continue in the Gulf and other US waters.



BP's Atlantis platform (off the coast of Louisiana in "Hurricane Alley" at a water depth of more than 7,000 feet) poses a serious, immediate and potentially irreparable threat to the Gulf of Mexico's marine environment, oil workers and communities.



Atlantis operates with incomplete and inaccurate engineering documents, which one official warned could "lead to catastrophic operator error," much worse than BP's Deepwater Horizon rig, many times larger than the spill from the Horizon explosion:

Obama's MMS kept giving out drilling permits after Obama announced a suspension on permits, and for weeks there was no clarification or end put to that. The suspension, by the way, is only on NEW drilling. Not on maintenance drilling, which occurs all the time. It's just more of the same Obama weasel lawyer-speak.
