Ocean Saratoga Oil Spill


YouTube - A New Source? flyover 06.05.10.mov

Could this be yet “another” oil spill in the gulf that is going undetected and unreported? Interesting BP may not be the only one out there with problems.

It does raise an important question worth investigating.

Certainly plausible that there is, and has been, many more unreported spills. I do think all rigs need evaluation and inspection on a regular basis.

Is obama "on top" of it? Has he been out to the rig to "check it out?" Has he spoken with the local fishermen in the rain so he can know whose "ass needs kickin'?" Hm.

I don’t believe he (Obama) needs to waste his time going out to this or any "other" rigs. He has more important issues to deal with. However it sure wouldn’t hurt to have someone inspect rigs or check on oil spills comes from them.

It looks like there’s a lot of focus on BP’s rig and not others.

Corporations need to have inspections and regulations otherwise they simply run with whatever they can get away with. Safety is not something that can or should be overlooked, yet that’s what cause the BP failure and the coal mine disaster weeks ago that killed twenty two or more men.

I am by no means an Obama supporter, However i do not think we need to investigate every rig cause someone cried "wolf" Oil naturally seeps from the deposits that are closer to the surface, hence why they drill there. and i do not believe that amount there in the video is not much more then natural seepage and will be taken care of naturally.. Call him when you have something serious, and he may get back to you in a few weeks

Judging from the pictures in that slideshow, it doesn't appear that the oil spill in question is anywhere near in the magnitude of the oil slick profiled in the OP. I'd consider the oil seapage from the USS Oklahoma in Pearl Harbor a "gentle seep." The slick in the OP appears to be much more involved.

If you are one of the slackers who didnt do his job while Bush was president IT MIGHT BE YOUR ASS THAT GETS KICKED... I think Obama is more than able to deal with the ones that caused this, Right now hes just "taking down names"
