THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL! We are one god-awful stupid species, incapable of learning anything. Little wonder God decided to wipe us out in the past and start over.

If that’s from a rig as claimed then why does there appear to be a beach in the upper left corner? That looks like it could be a tarmat near the beach.

Plus the picture doesn’t give very good perspective at all.

How many spills in the gulf before it is no longer a coincidence? There was one platform explosion, then a week later a tanker ran into an oil pipeline. One week after the pipeline collision, one more platform had an explosion. Now there is a mysterious oil leak. I hope that some people in the executive branch go to jail after we jet a real President.

Did DP oil open up a dimensional portal and allow demons loose? Reality resembles South Park more and more.

News Update: That isn’t an oil spill. It is merely the flotsom & jetsam from AF1 flying over the Gulf on the way to S America with nobama, mooch-elle and his slime-dripping minions aboard. Everyone stay calm.

Totally agree. Obama gives us plenty to blame him for, but I think we should wait before we blame him for this.

Please explain how this is an “Obama disaster”

The precedent has been set with the Bush presidency. Every disaster that occurred was Bush's fault and that he was not ready before it happened. Therefore, its perfectly logical to hold Obama to the same standard.

“Please explain how this is an “Obama disaster”....”

You have to ask?
Everything negative that happens while he is in office is his fault.

That is of course what we heard during the 8 years of the Bush era.
So we are just trying to be consistent.

Natural Oil Seeps in the Gulf of Mexico
A NASA Earth Observatory news release from February 3, 2009

Although accidents and hurricane damage to infrastructure are often to blame for oil spills and the resulting pollution in coastal Gulf of Mexico waters, natural seepage from the ocean floor introduces a significant amount of oil to ocean environments as well. Oil spills are notoriously difficult to identify in natural-color (photo-like) satellite images, especially in the open ocean. Because the ocean surface is already so dark blue in these images, the additional darkening or slight color change that results from a spill is usually imperceptible.
