Look up the Gulf Oil Spill in Reuters. Also, I live on the Gulf, and we were visited by Obama and yes, he had news conferences claiming that the crisis was resolved. You can believe it or not because I was there.
I have never seen or heard reported, that anyone in the Admin or involved, has said it was over. Actually, all say, it is far from over.
Obama has repeatedly demonstrated he is bad with numbers.
He forgot how many states we had.
His "jobs created" claim is based on theoretical statistics.
He estimated 46million people have no healthcare and in the next breath corrected it to 36million when he admitted he forgot to subtract the illegal aliens.
The Obama admin is again relying on creative statistics to determine the amount of oil remaining in the Gulf. They probably use their own definition of where the Gulf of Mexico actually is. If just using US territorial waters vs waters out of its jurisdiction....and within those parameters are economic zones. So lets determine what specific area of the Gulf of Mexico the administration is talking about.
Better legislation through creative statistics.
Al Capone was nailed on tax evasion charges based on what seemed to be unrelated laws. Obama and Holder likewise got creative and now use comparative statistical theory to prove or disprove opponents statistics.
Remember, it is impossible for a lawyer to tell a lie.
What looks like a lie to us is a well crafted statement, built with calculated sentence structure and measured words. It is all about interpretation, appeals, reversals and pending judgements......and what Obama determines is good for you.
President Obama wasn't in town long — a little more than a day — but he made sure to deliver a message that despite the BP oil spill, "beaches all along the Gulf Coast are clean, they are safe, and they are open for business."

Where does he say the oil is gone?
NOWHERE.
Yes, he is trying to help the residents get their livelihood back by encouraging tourism....OH How terrible of him!!!

But we are all finding out now that the oil is not gone but has sunk to the bottom, in spite of what the administration agencies tell us.
Good thing those scientists at the research universities are speaking out and doing tests because the government agencies AREN'T doing that.
Read a label and smell the fish and declare all is good ?
1. 4 weeks before the BP blowout, Obama builds an alibi ---"I am opening offshore drilling in all the Coastal U.S." Goldman Sachs dumps nearly all of its stock (40%+) in BP,(1) a profitable winner. Days before, they dump the rest.
2. BP ignores the advice of all the drilling contractors on making the well safe. British Petroleum had a manager directing drilling who had never been on an offshore rig before and purposefully ignored all safety warnings. BP ignores Trans Oceanic warnings about a problem with the blowout preventer.(2) BP ignores repeated warnings on numerous problems from numerous sub-contractors.
3. The well explodes under suspicious circumstances, but BP does nothing immediately to control it. Why? And the Dutch offer to have it controlled in 48 hours. They are ignored.
4. Obama sacks his National Intelligence Director (3) (a Navy Admiral) who cannot comment on intelligence or the reasons he was sacked because of Federal Laws.
5. BP top-kills the well but fails as was predicted by numerous oil professionals causing down hole damage to the well which has caused a massive pollution of the southern U.S. The way they bungled everything, the Gulf will be dead for decades!
6. Obama now declares ALL drilling suspended in the Gulf and makes numerous PR trips to the Gulf to look as though he is outraged.
7. John Podesta (4) is Obama's man that built his cabinet and all his Czars.
8. John Podesta is also head of George Soros'(5) Center for American Progress (a socialist organization dedicated to killing capitalism in America and building, according to Soros, "A New World Order"). John Podesta's brother is the lead lobbyist for British Petroleum, whose services are now in huge demand.
9.Soros was a major contributor to Obama's campaign.
10. Soros invested $900 million in Petrobras, the Brazilian government controlled oil company that plans on drilling offshore in Brazil, yet cannot get the deep water rigs operating in the Gulf.
11. Days after Soros' investment, Obama grants $2 billion of U.S. taxpayer's dollars to Petrobras to drill offshore in Brazil ....the company nets over $15 Billion annually.
12. U.S. drilling companies must do something with their now idled rigs and are planning on moving them off to South America ---- to Petrobras which will supply the oil to the U.S. as an import.
13. Obama gives a patsy White House Oval Office speech on the disaster but, also during the speech, he states the need for Carbon Taxes.....Cap and Trade!
14. The carbon tax exchange will be based in, you guessed it, Chicago... and called the CCX...The CHICAGO Climate Exchange (6)
The Joyce Foundation --A private U.S. foundation which provides funding and support to initiatives focusing on education, environment and employment in the Great Lakes region. The Joyce Foundation was established in 1948 by Beatrice Joyce Kean of Chicago . Since its inception, the foundation has made grants of more than $600 million. Some of those grants include $1.1 million to Richard Sandor in 2000-2001 to create the Chicago Climate Exchange. Former Board of Directors' members include President Barack Obama (1994-2002) and Valerie Jarrett, his top adviser.
Who will benefit from the Chicago Climate Exchange? You guessed it...Obama and his buddies, Goldman Sachs and the Chicago crew.
Who will benefit from Obama's shutdown of drilling in the Gulf? You guessed it...Obama and his buddy, George Soros
Who benefits from Obama sending $2 Billion of taxpayer dollars to a company that Nets $15 Billion per year? You guessed it...Obama and his buddies.
Who is Obama getting to again? You guessed it...American Citizens.

What does ""beaches all along the Gulf Coast are clean, they are safe, and they are open for business."
have to do with the oil on the bottom of the ocean??? NOTHING.
There is, and has been crap polluting the ocean for a heck of a long time yet people have been using the BEACHES for swimming,tanning, hiking, walking the dog, drinking, relaxing, playing,....
Anyone who's not an idiot or BP spokeperson KNOWS all the oil isn't gone completely .... But there are people there who DEPEND for their livelihood on tourists and the beaches.....so would it help if Obama told the country to stay away from the gulf coast???
Obama did his obligatory jump in the bay with his kid for a picture op. BUT he'll spend 10 days up in Martha's Vineyard...as far away from the Gulf as possible.

More to the point, on the Gulf he might end up sharing the beaches with the "little people". He'll fit in better with the elites on Martha's Vineyard.
