That is a lie!
Prompt deployment of Nalco COREXIT® oil spill dispersants is one very effective and proven method of minimizing the impact of a spill on the environment. When the COREXIT dispersants are deployed on the spilled oil, the oil is broken up into tiny bio-degradable droplets that immediately sink below the surface where they continue to disperse and bio-degrade.
Corexit contains six primary ingredients. Examples of everyday products with specific ingredients in common with COREXIT 9500 include:
• One ingredient is used as a wetting agent in dry gelatin, beverage mixtures, and fruit juice drinks.
• A second ingredient is used in a brand-name dry skin cream and also in a body shampoo.
• A third ingredient is found in a popular brand of baby bath liquid.
• A fourth ingredient is found extensively in cosmetics and is also used as a surface-active agent and emulsifier for agents used in food contact.
• A fifth ingredient is used by a major supplier of brand name household cleaning products for "soap scum" removal.
• A sixth ingredient is used in hand creams and lotions, odorless paints and stain blockers.
It is basically oil-eating bacteria speeding bio-degradation of the oil.
How much stock do you own? THAT’S BS!BP talking points and lies!
BP came under criticism weeks ago for using Corexit, a highly toxic chemical oil dispersant, in huge amounts to try to break up the oil gushing from its well in the Gulf of Mexico. Some scientists argued that there are less-toxic, more effective dispersants available. Other scientists argued we should use no dispersants, as the damage from the dispersants may do more harm than good. As we reported May 20,2010, Corexit is carcinogenic, mutagenic, and highly toxic, and scientists are concerned about its effect on marine life. Corexit is banned in Great Britain.
In response to these criticisms, British Petroleum claimed that these alternatives are not available in the necessary quantities. This argument seemed to have been blown out of the water when one of the cable news networks showed thousands of gallons of an alternate dispersant sitting in the sun in Houston, Texas, just waiting to be shipped to the Gulf. The manufacturer’s president expressed frustration, saying his company could be manufacturing large quantities every day if only BP would take delivery of the dispersant and order more.
Finally, on May 19, 2010, the EPA ordered BP to stop using Corexit and switch to a less-toxic dispersant. Instead of changing dispersants, however, the company simply refused and told the EPA that Sea Brat No. 4, the only alternative dispersant available in sufficient quantities, contains “potential endocrine disruptors” that “may persist in the environment for a period of yeaSome have questioned whether BP’s decision to use Corexit stems from a business relationship with the chemical’s manufacturer. A former BP executive sits on the board of Nalco, the manufacturer of Corexit.
COREXIT, NALCO, ALGORE, SOROS, APOLLO, MAURICE STRONG, GOLDMAN SACHS...... GULF OIL SPILL... AND WHY IT’S NOT BEING STOPPED. FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corexit Toxicity and alternatives
The safety data sheet states “The potential human hazard is: High.”
According to the Alaska Community Action on Toxics, the use of Corexit during the Exxon Valdez oil spill caused “respiratory, nervous system, liver, kidney and blood disorders” in people.[7] According to the EPA, Corexit is more toxic than dispersants made by several competitors and less effective in handling southern Louisiana crude.[11] However, the oil from Deepwater Horizon is not believed to be typical Louisiana crude.
Reportedly Corexit is toxic to marine life and helps keep spilled oil submerged. The quantities used in the Gulf will create ‘unprecedented underwater damage to organisms.’[12] 9527A is also hazardous for humans: ‘May cause injury to red blood cells (hemolysis), kidney or the liver’.[13]
Alternative dispersants which are approved by the EPA are listed on the National Contingency Plan Product Schedule[14] and rated for their toxicity
According to Ronald Tjeerdema, chair of the Department of Environmental Toxicology at UC Davis’ College of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences, who has been studying dispersants since the ’90s, “The industry typically only stockpiles one or two of these things,” and while Corexit 9527 has been the dispersant of choice for a long time, in recent years, Corexit 9500 has gained prominence. Yet Nalco has done no toxicity studies on these industry-dominating products now in heavy use in the Gulf?
They do appear to have toxic properties. Both data sheets include the warning “human health hazards: acute.” The MSDS for Corexit 9527A states that “excessive exposure may cause central nervous system effects, nausea, vomiting, anesthetic or narcotic effects,” and “repeated or excessive exposure to butoxyethanol [an active ingredient] may cause injury to red blood cells (hemolysis), kidney or the liver.”
It adds: “Prolonged and/or repeated exposure through inhalation or extensive skin contact with EGBE [butoxyethanol] may result in damage to the blood and kidneys.”
That is a lie!
Hey, you don't want to argue against an anti-Obama conspiracy theory, do you? With so many valid criticisms of the Obama Administration, it is baffling why its detractors would resort to highly dubious and inherently unprovable conspiracy theories. I am not a water treatment specialist, but about twenty years of experience in the hydrocarbon process industry informs me that Nalco is a world leader in water treatment chemicals. It has more expertise in the water treatment than the most-knowledgeable thousand bloggers combined.
I have an even better, second-level conspiracy theory. The whole Nalco theory is so preposterous and subject to ridicule by the Left that it must be a creation of the Left intended to discredit Obama's detractors.
You got that list right from NALCO. ADMIT IT and stop ignoring and lying!
on their website Nalco takes great pains to make the toxic shit stuff sound as innocuous as possible:

HEALTH : 1 FLAMMABILITY : 1 INSTABILITY : 0
0 = Insignificant 1 = Slight 2 = Moderate 3 = High 4 = Extreme
Here's the MSDS for sodium chloride:
HEALTH : 1 FLAMMABILITY : 0 INSTABILITY : 0
Sodium chloride is otherwise known as table salt.
Well if the dispersants are working so well (like they’re supposed to), why is there so much oil in and around the shores and marsh areas? Are those faked photos we’re seeing? It can’t be both ways. Either the dispersants aren’t working like they’re supposed to and the photos of the damage are legitimate, or the photos are faked.
Which is it?
And how many of those six do not kill fish?
