The White House said today it is halting all new offshore drilling in U.S. waters until there's an "adequate review" of a massive 600-mile wide oil slick that has begun to lap up on Louisiana's coast.

Rescuers saved 115 workers but 11 are presumed dead. BP is responsible for the cleanup, and it wasn't until Thursday -- nine days after the explosion -- that the White House declared it "a leak of national significance."

this whole thing is too strange...surprised that the adminsitration is not getting out ahead of this..I have a feeling BP will find sabotage...they are being very cool about the whole thing.
“Now I’m convinced of it-the spill was deliberate..”===============================
Soros has enough $$$ to make anything happen. Gee, can you see CCX accelerating?
LOL! It was just a matter of time.
