You all are up on this subject, so little of this will be new. But I hope you find it a useful summary.

The mess in the Gulf is just collateral damage. Remember you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.

Great post, John. Thanks.

He spoke on the 16th of June. The Deepwater Horizon exploded, burned and sank two months before, on 20 June.

April 20, John. April 20.

John, great article as always.

Not to pick but in the fourth ‘graph, perhaps you meant Apr 20.

Bet the mods can fix that for ya.

This isn't the only crisis I've experienced (Okaloosa County, Florida) but it is the most bungled one I've seen yet...

Bottom line....This Administration is being run by Ivory Leagued School Educated Chicago Mobsters.

Thank you! Very concise and thorough, more than we have gotten in most of the media.

A very succinct and comprehensive summary John. It amazes me that Obama expects anyone to be impressed with the experts “he assembled” even though they have not produced any solutions to the problem. The oil continues to flow, the slick continues to soil the beaches and marshes, and more residents see their future slipping away. Left alone without any government involvement, it is likely BP would have progressed to this point or even been further ahead in combating the problem. The Obama administration, and their “experts” have made the problem worse.
