Obama's Gulf Eco-Catastrophe, Far Worse than Katrina, More Like a Hiroshima; Emergency Legislation Need.


Rob Kall - Writer

History will view Obama's response as too little, too late, too passive. New findings by a research vessel with a grant that ran out today show walls of oil-saturated death, miles long and wide, depleting oxygen from ocean water.

Obama must commandeer BP's resources, pass immediate legislation ELIMINATING all limits on ALL corporate liability for damages, & fund at least a billion dollars of emergency research & science funding for assessing and analyzing all aspects of the gulf catastrophe-- marine, estuary, economic.

Obama was not put in office for his whistleblowing skills. he was put in office for his butt-kissing skills. in a normal world one would think, OF COURSE BP would pay for the clean-up. i do not count on Obama to represent the American people well, for much of anything.

it does look like the Deepwater Horizon will be an unthinkably large environmental disaster, perhaps comparable to the asteroid that struck the Yucatan Peninsula 65 million years ago that wiped out the dinosaurs.

i wonder if it looks like the clean-up costs get into the $500 billion to $1 trillion range, if BP is held responsible, then they will go bankrupt. perhaps in this case, corporate bankruptcy court should be no protection and the the assets of BP execs should be used to help fund the clean-up.

it will be a very, very interesting world if we see headlines like "Deepwater Horizon Clean-up Costs Threaten to Bankrupt BP".

it would help to have a 3D view of the big oil glob & oil affected areas. but that aerial view is all i got right now.
