There is always some hidden agenda behind the Government's positions and it usually goes to money, bottom line. I suspect the Obama Administration is in full damage control mode, in order to spin/minimize the ecological damage. Public opinion has been that they didn't handle it well. Personally, I think they did the best they could, all things considered.

From what I've been seeing on TV, the local shrimpers aren't buying the "everything's alright" story. Say that the shrimp have oil contamination from the mud. Something I said a while back, that the oil would be throughout the water column, not just the surface.

My feeling is that the oil spill will have long term consequences.
