Obama biggest recipient of BP cash - Erika Lovley - POLITICO.com
5, 2010 - 6:26 AM EST So - while all the global warming alarmists were denigrating those telling the truth about the global warming farce, accusing them of being "tools of big oil" because they were taking a few bucks from the oil companies, it turns out that the most expensive tool in the pocket of big oil was Obama. What's new? He takes their money to get elected, calls some of it,,"ill gotten profits" and then who knows what goes on in the back rooms of the White House?The far Left doesn't think twice about it, after all they have always spent someone else's money, again, Obama is coming up with the biggest donations as are the Dems from corporate interests

Visualizing the BP Oil Spill
The spill actually covers the same area on the map no matter where you place it, what changes is the map itself! Google Maps, and many maps we're used to looking at, use something called "Mercator Projection" in order to draw the spherical surface of the earth onto a flat plane. On July 15, 2010 BP sucesfully stopped the flow of oil from the wellhead, after spilling 190 million gallons of oil into the gulf over a period of 3 months
InsideClimate News also learned that federal and local officials didn't discover until more than a week after the spill that 6B was carrying dilbit, not conventional oil. The next shift took over, aiming to restart 6B as soon as extra power was available so they could clear what they still thought was a bubble from the line

Locals blame the oil that pollutes their land and can scarcely believe the contrast with the steps taken by BP and the US government to try to stop the Gulf oil leak and to protect the Louisiana shoreline from pollution. However, two major independent investigations over the past four years suggest that as much is spilled at sea, in the swamps and on land every year as has been lost in the Gulf of Mexico so far
It also skimped on critical testing that could have shown whether explosive gas was getting into the system as it was being cemented, and began removing mud that protected the well before it was sealed with cement plugs. But when Rolling Stone asked MMS whether BP had the required containment equipment on hand, the agency's head of public affairs in the Gulf replied, "I am not clear if MMS has the info that you are requesting." The effect of leaving BP in charge of capping the well, says a scientist involved in the government side of the effort, has been "like a drunk driver getting into a car wreck and then helping the police with the accident investigation." Indeed, the administration has seemed oddly untroubled about leaving the Gulf's fate in the hands of a repeat criminal offender, and uncurious about the crimes that may have been committed leading up to the initial sinking of the rig
