Oil leak
is 5 times greater
Can we get some facts from the White House?
Excerpt:
The amount of oil gushing from BP's oil disaster
is five times more than what the oil bastards
and the U.S. Coast Guard are currently estimating,
says a Florida State University oceanography professor.
At an oil spill environmental forum, Ian MacDonald
said the blowout is gushing 25,000 barrels a day.
The Coast Guard and BP estimate 5,000 barrels
a day of crude is spewing into the Gulf.
MacDonald said his estimate is based on satellite
images and government maps forecasting the slick's trajectory.
MacDonald also told a crowd of about 100 gathered
for the discussion that he's been frustrated by the lack of data
from federal responders and BP since the April
20 explosion and subsequent spill.
I hate to suggest this, but we know Obama is/was
pro-offshore drilling.
He super-stupidly announced that about a month
before the Gulf blew up.
Given that, can we trust the figures we're getting
from our government?
