Gulf Oil Disaster

The Deepwater Horizon "Spill" and Its Impact

Saturday, July 10, 2010

Not to worry. The whole thing's a media exaggeration

All of this supports my contention that it's not a good idea for Republicans exaggerate the effects of the oil spill just to score to try and score points against President Obama. This is far from "the greatest environmental disaster in American history," as some have contended. Republicans should take a realistic look at just how much damage will actually result from this spill. If it's anything like the prior big spill in the Bay of Campeche in 1979 as described in a recent article, it might not be all that bad.
