See: Obama's Mistake
I mean, he can still issue orders and be the government and all that but he'll never win back the enormous faith the American people had in him when he first assumed the office.
This is WORSE than KATRINA, folks!
WILDLIFE SURVIVED THAT like it ALWAYS DID.
It is NOT SURVIVING THIS!
"Gulf leak eclipses Exxon Valdez as worst US spill" by Greg Bluestein and Ben Nuckols, Associated Press Writers | May 27, 2010
ROBERT, La. -- As the world waited....
Two teams of scientists calculated the well has been spewing between 504,000 and more than a million gallons a day. Even using the most conservative estimate, that means about 18 million gallons have spilled so far. In the worst-case scenario, 39 million gallons have leaked.

Newspaper is not telling me that!
That larger figure would be nearly four times the size of the Exxon Valdez disaster, in which a tanker ran aground in Alaska in 1989, spilling nearly 11 million gallons.
"Now we know the true scale of the monster we are fighting in the Gulf," said Jeremy Symons, vice president of the National Wildlife Federation. "BP has unleashed an unstoppable force of appalling proportions."
But we got "terrorists."
The spill is not the biggest ever in the Gulf. In 1979, a drilling rig in Mexican waters -- the Ixtoc I -- blew up, releasing 140 million gallons of oil....
Yeah, that makes us all feel a lot better about this, MSM, thanks.
PFFFFT!!
Polls show the public is souring on the administration's handling of the catastrophe, and Obama sought to assure Americans that the government is in control....
Even when it isn't.
And we are SOURING in SO MANY WAYS!!!!!
