I have read alot of crap over the years, but this one is really near the top of the list. Obama could use a Nuke to stop the disaster? Um... Can i have some of whatever that author is smoking? Setting off a nuke in the gulf would be far worse than any oil spill.

I have lived/fished/swam in and around the Gulf since i was 7 years old and i have to agree with Steamwake that tar balls do show up from time to time, be it from a natural leak or rotting wrecks. This leak is a very bad thing, but the media is making it sound far worse than it really is. There will be some damage done, but in the long run the oil will seep back into the earth. This isn't processed fuel with tons of chemicals added, its crude and it naturally occurs and the enviroment will absorb it just like it has done for millions of years.

Sure wildlife and fish will be effected and like i said its a bad thing, but the real disaster is that it was more important to siphon the oil to waiting tankers instead of stopping the leak. It could have been stopped fairly quickly, but there was more money in it to allow it to flow while they figure out how to capture the oil and make money off of it.
