Here’s some more pictures BP doesn’t want you to see…

Also, it way past time for Barack Obama to keep depending upon BP to solve this problem. Obama needs to quit acting like a Republican and nationalize the crisis. Read this and this. Nationalizing the crisis needs to happen because … Continue reading →

How does an Air Force ride over the Deepwater Horizon oil catastrophe sound?

Get ready… the slick could spread to the South Carolina Lowcountry.

Posted on May 3, 2010 by therealdeals
