In my May 1st blog, I pointed out the fact that anyone knowing anything about the oil business knows that an explosion and uncontrolled fire on any sea-based or land-based drilling operation spells trouble. Now we know from a video (Click to See Full Story: Video shows federal officials knew quickly of potential for massive oil flow in Gulf spill) that was shot at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency's (NOAA) Seattle headquarters that the Federal Government knew early on about the potential danger! Yet, Obama was so preoccupied with Earth Day and his Wall Street agenda that he failed to mobilize anyone until 8 days into the disaster. I would think that Obama is in trouble on this; just as Bush was with Katrina. But, so far, the fact that this video even exists is being completely ignored by the mainstream media; thus, protecting their guy, Barack.
As a point of reference, NOAA is an agency that reports up to Obama through his Secretary of Commerce and the Commerce Department. So, he has no ability to claim that it is an independent agency; as in the case of the Securities and Exchange Commission filing suit against Goldman-Sachs. So, this screw-up is directly on his back.
