BP Acknowledges Oil Spill Is Larger Than Previous Estimates
BP Acknowledges Oil Spill Is Larger Than Previous Estimates
I am horrified by President Obama's complete disregard for the environment. Most Democrats have worked hard for clean air and water throughout the U.S. Instead, this Administration has sold our legacy for pennies. Even all the past Republican presidents who personally profited from oil did not destroy several wildlife refuges; preserved wetlands, endangered species, and numerous ecosystems! $500M for a ten-year study of the Gulf is NOTHING. A single National Cancer Institute annual budget is $35M. And that is only for research and not to help all the people that have lost not just their jobs but an entire way of life! The oceans have already been over-fished and now President Obama has overseen the destruction of oysters, crabs, shrimp and finfish. Our air and water are poisoned. Instead of shifting the energy focus off of oil, the President has continue to give away our environmental heritage. America is still in the process of drilling in Alaska, opening up new land in Alaska for drilling, and the Canadian Tar Sands which is the WORST possible option for North America. The USA was a shining example of "green" for decades. Now, in addition to all the other reasons for the world to hate us, Obama has lost this one pillar that was left standing in the wake of 9/11.
