BOMBSHELL: White House Blocked Worst-Case-Scenario Estimate Of Oil Spill Disaster Gus Lubin | Oct. 6, 2010, 11:47 AM | 150 | comment 3

*

obamaBack in April, the White House blocked the worst case scenario estimate of the oil spill, according to the federal oil spill commission.

The White House kept NOAA from announcing a spill rate higher than the 5,000 bbl (originally 1,000 bbl) figure that came from BP.

Keeping a much higher figure out of the press may have slowed national response to the disaster, the commission said.

More details from Times Picayune:

In four separate draft working papers, the commission staff suggests that "over optimism" about the size of the spill during the first 10 days after the Macondo well exploded April 20 slowed the response.

"While it is not clear thatthis misplaced optimism affected any individual response effort, it may haveaffected the scale and speed with which national resources were brought to bear,"one of the staff reports said. "Most responders thought that their initialapproach was too slow and unfocused."

Obama lied, the Gulf died.

Kind of catchy, no?

Obama took the reins from Bush, which was the last straw needed on that poor camel's tush.

Actually, you're wrong. That rig got OBAMA ADMIN approval for bypassing the standard procedures such as filing an environmental impact statement.

BP OWNED the Obama Administration.

The Gulf's final gasp was crushed out by the Owe-bama moratorium stopping drilling.

Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.

As they own every presidential administration. Care to figure out why?

And he allowed them to bypass a liberal policy? Man that really stinks. They should have just regurgitated a previous one in it's place changing the coordinates of course. It's not like it would have NOT been rubber stamped like the thousands previous which is moot though since it will probably be found to have been caused by human error.

Which is why your continuing total misunderstanding of the workings of politics in the US makes me believe you IS A FOREIGNER.

Oh I know why. It's the Dems who refuse to admit it, until it's thrown in their face in the form of massive ecological destruction.

I guess the little two bit country you come from doesn't use diesel or gas in it's vehicles/transportation systems, utilities or to power what's left of it's manufacturing. No one, but no one wants a repeat 1973.

He seems to think that programs like 'The Simpsons' are indicative of real life in the US, that and the regurgitation of statistics from the feds like they are set in steel.

I've been saying this from Day 1.

See bp blocks rov deployment in the first hours.

From Day 1 I said this was a Dragon King. An ELE.

That bp was/is a lying murdering criminal planet killing syndicate.

"Cuttingedge"...

And I've done all the bleeding I'm goin't to.

Like the vid says, in the South, there's a sayin',

'It ain 't over, til it's over.' And this USbp fuckover has just started.

But we're gonna finish it. They'll wish they were back fighting the Pashtun in the Himalayas before we get thru. ;}

This ain't over.
