Is Obama still letting BP....

...poison the Gulf further with the use of dispersants?

If so then why?

1. They have not stopped

they are making the place more toxic, but the corexit hides a lot of the oil....it's all about how it looks.

3. I also think in addition to making it "look" better, they're unable to measure

the amount of oil once it's diluted, so it's probably also a tactic to pay fewer fines.

7. Yes it is, and their criminal acts are constant and chronic. I'm not sure why

this is being allowed to continue. It's the EPA I'd be asking, not Obama. He's not the expert, they supposedly are (or have been charged to learn and educate themselves).

Something that always concerns me is you never know how much information actually makes its way to Obama. If I were he and I was told by someone I trusted that this was the best way to go, I'd believe him/her. :shrug:

2. yes, the corexit is still being blown into the flow at an unbelievable

rate. If you got out of BP stock and into corexit stock on the day of the blowout you will likely do very well.

6. Obama is the President, not BP

The fact that Obama himself has not ordered BP to switch to a non-lethal dispersant speaks volumes as to who really runs this country.

8. Speaks loud enough to me as well.

I hear Obama asking me to support just about any primary Dem in 2012.
