For nearly a month, roughly 5,000 barrels (210,000  gallons/795,000 liters) of oil per day have been gushing from BP's  broken Deepwater oil well situated in the Gulf of Mexico, in what could  be named the worst oil spill in U.S. history.

Nice to see you Truth.

I haven't a clue why Obama is so detached about this.

The more this unfolds the more devastating and tragic is the feeling. The consequences of this 'spill' will be felt for so many years. How much more can these poor Gulf Coast residents take? Just as you think it may be coming under control, new problems/challenges arise. I watch the news, face covered with my hands, peeking through slightly parted fingers, not wanting to know the latest, but NEEDING to hear what is going on. It is just such a mess. If this isn't a warning sign, a harbinger, a red flag....I don't know what is.
