Here are a couple links to a live video feed of BP's oil spewing from the floor of the Gulf of Mexico.  I hope these work because the images are mind blowing when you think of how long this thing has been going on. 

Click the links to open........you might have to open an "active x"  thingy to get 'em to work.

BP does not want to take full responsiblity for this incident. Angry

So, in the end we have to blame someone,...G.W. Bush or B. Obama?
Just asking.

If Katrina was Bush's fault, then this is Obama's fault...  Wink

It's not the incident.  It's the response to the indicent that is someone's fault.   tickedoff

BF is right, it is the lack of urgency that pisses me off. It has been what, 33 days or so and NOW they ..

Hey, I looked at the video earlier and you could clearly see the oil gushing out. Now, 10 pm eastern it looks different, just a blurr really. Could that be a good thing?  Undecided

Nevermind, still gushing...  Angry

The news people are whacked anyways.  I bet if one of the 11 lost lives was one of the news media's kin, the story would be a little different.  Well, then again, maybe not.  They are so brain washed, even having someone close to them wouldn't force them to change their stance....
