President Barack Obama visits Louisiana for the second time since the spill occurred, and walks along the shore to find "tar balls" in the sand. Obama adds that "he ultimately takes responsibility for solving this crisis. I'm the president, and the buck stops with me. So I give the people of this community, and the entire Gulf, my word, that we're gonna hold ourselves accountable to do what ever it takes, for as long as it takes to stop this catastrophe. "BP" said Thursday plans to boost its ability to capture the oil gushing from a ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico by early next week as the Obama administration announced that the oil giant agreed to speed up payments to people whose livelihood have been washed away by the spill. Fisher man, property owners, and business people who have filed damage claims with "BP" are angrily complaining of delays, excessive paper work and simply payments that have put them on the verge of going under as the financial and environmental toll of the seven-week-old disaster grows.
The dispute over the claims process played out as "BP" stock continued to fall amid fears that the company might be forced to suspend dividends and find itself financially overwhelmed by the clean-up cost, penalties, lawsuits, and damage claims generated by the biggest oil spill in U.S history. "Bp" Says the LMRP (Lower Marine Riser Package) Containment cap never before has been deployed at these depths and conditions, and its efficiency and ability to contain oil and gas cannot be assured. Why hasn't this "Containment Cap" been tested in these depths and conditions? Enhancements to the system should have been implemented long before hand. Back-up Plans should have been tested so if all else failed they could correct the problem more efficiently and in a timelier manner. This ordeal has prolonged 50+ days and currently is still spilling gallons as I write this today. So many wildlife animals have been exposed to these matters and conditions.
I'm pretty sure everyone that reads this might want to know the real deal on the "BP" Spill so here's so exclusive interviews from "The Ed Show On "Msnbc". Check Out These Videos.
