GULF OIL SPILL UPDATE & DECEPTION

Having lived on the beautiful NW Florida Gulf Coast I know a lot of folks as well as my co-host Lauren veach who lives there as well, so I get first hand details on what's going on. Weeks ago listener Tamara of Biloxi Mississippi, who lives across the Street from the Gulf, reported to us that oil globs had begun to wash up on their shores, she even sent some pictures. The national news however did not report that was happening until 6 days later, and it was Fox News. The mainstream media did not report it for another 3 days. I suppose people are getting wise because as the oil Tar Balls started washing up on the beach in Pensacola the media was on it. I have first hand reports this morning that the beautiful white sand has turned a funny shade of orange and people are going into the Gulf and they say you can follow their orange footsteps after they have dried all the way to the condos and walkovers. The oil at this writing had not yet reached Fort Walton Beach or Destin, but we all know it's a matter of time.

I suppose my first concern is not so much the beaches, but the animals. I have already seen horrific pictures and Tamara from Biloxi has told of the massive bird and fish deaths that have occured there. I cannot get out of my mind the Brown Pelican completley incompacitated by the sludge as it sat there in a sludge puddle blinking, asking "What happened?" it sickens my stomach. It is surely criminal what has happened. BP does have a moral obligation on top of a financial obligation. The Obama Administration has both as well, though they will try to throw the blame in another direction. I feel for the one's without a voice, the turtles and the dolphins searching for air to breath through the slick. The unknowing seagull who flies into the water when it sees a floundering fish as it dies in the oil slick, again it makes me sick.

BP continues to lie to us, action should have been taken the day of the rig sinking, we are now looking at oil still spewing, still devastating everything in it's path. The Obama adminsitration should be ashamed to have allowed this to go on this long. What shame.

I live on the East coast of Florida, and we have been waiting for the oil to catch into the Loop Current, where it will deliver the death to the Florida Keys, Miami Beach, and all points north ont he penisula - Obama will not be able to talk his way out of this, for a community organizer he sure stinks.
