Obama stops oil leak in Gulf. BP staff grateful.

Because not all beaches are affected and they too have a decline in tourists, one has to think that the down turn in the economy may be playing a large part also. You can start blaming wreckless sensational reporting for that and maybe the media should also be held accountable. Read an article recently on how the real estate market has been affected ~ particularly so with Canadian snow birds. Every local with an oil infected beach within 100 miles or more has had the snow birds drop their purchase negotiations completely. While there is no doubt there is some serious damage, the entire coast is not nearly as bad off as the media would have you believe. The coast line is hundreds upon hundreds of mile long. The media shows hundreds up on hundreds of yards of shore line. Imagine what a dream story it would be for the reporters if they had something to back up their insinuations. Because the belief is that the entire shore is affected, because of out of context reporting by the media, the entire region suffers. |

You left out the part where the media heard and reported to the shooter that the guy with the hole in his head had been doing the shooters wife. |

OTOH, some of the clean-up workers will get to live in the notorious FEMA trailers which had been in storage at the Jefferson Proving Grounds in Jeffersonville, IN. Somehow, I think formaldehyde ought to go quite nicely with oil spills. |
