Not Again! 13 workers on exploded rig are safe, one injured - Oil leakage as well

Here's an actual picture of the 13 people found floating in what some call 'gumby suits' that keep them afloat and a little protected from immediate hypothermia from CNN.com.. as an oil and gas platform caught fire today off the Louisiana coast and there are reports of a n at least mile long sheen in the water, Gov. Bobby Jindal says. All workers again are reported safe.

13 workers on exploded rig are safe, one injured - "GRAND ISLE, LA (WLOX/AP) - All 13 people on board a burning offshore petroleum platform in the Gulf are safe.

The platform exploded Thursday morning and is still burning, about 80 miles off the Louisiana coast. It's west of the Deepwater Horizon site.

The Coast Guard said no one was killed in the blast, which was reported by a commercial helicopter flying over the area. All 13 people aboard the rig have been accounted for, with one injury. The extent of the injury is not known.

A Coast Guard spokeswoman said some of those from the rig were spotted in emergency flotation devices. She said authorities do not know whether oil is leaking from the site.

Yup, looks like everyone got off safely although they'll never make me believe this is an accident.

Sorry. I'm not buying it. No way a second one can be called an accident, and frankly, I never thought the 'first one' was, and I blogged as much about terror attacks a number of times the first 'go round', which by no means is 'over - with' by anyone's estimation except Obama's.

Furthermore, should another tragic oil and or natural gas spill ensue, my bet is Obama will resign out of pure frustration of too much 'shit' to handle at once, unless of course it's a false flag terror attack.

These dem's better not try pulling that one, they're not good enough yet at it with this clown in charge. ;)obviously no party better be pulling that shit on America although it looks more with each day that's been the case for some time.

Day 51, Obama's BP Spill in comparison to known others in size....graphic

This was surprising to me as I recall the Wacky Iraqi Saddam Hussein, ordered by GW hunted and killed cutting loose those oil wells during the gulf war that super fire fighter, the late, great, American legend Red Adair was called in as the 'only man on the planet' who could close those fiery wells up...

But I didn't realize the size of it all, as it makes BP look like a 'Slick Willie' DNA Slick on the oval office carpeting in comparison, but don't tell the people down in Louisiana it's 'no big deal'.
Truthfully, I happen to believe it's a lot more than they've told us but, who knows and how? It's sure 'raging away as you can see in the sidebar leak cam >>>

Graphic and more stats on the spill from "oil spill timeline" found here.


These are some pics of this thing overnight, and it doesn't look like it's being captured too much to my eyes...

Daily Obama "Limbo" Tracking Poll -How Low Can He Go? New Low Obama and thus US

....The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook.

Overall, 42% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's performance. That is the lowest level of approval yet measured for this president. Fifty-six percent (56%) now disapprove of his performance.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports™

Finally American's who misguidedly placed their vote in this man's hands are regretting it more each day as Obama reaches "Bush BDS Level" numbers in job approval which converged months ago and now the "Disapproval" outnumbers the "Approval".

A good sign if you're a fan of small government and don't like the Obama regime "putting their boot on your throat" as they claim to be doing with BP, which speaking of, no doubt will send these numbers to 'basement level' in the coming months as America realizes the Gulf Coast is ruined forever.

As for 8 days at outset of this unmitigated DISASTER Obama and friends basically worried more about attacking Arizonians sick and tired of the LaRaza Army invasion than they did this, thinking the deadly explosion which took 18 hard working American's lives was all there was to consern themselves with, taking BP's word for it, and that's a fact JACK.

Would you rather have a God caused flood or a man caused flood of oil? I would think most would opt for the Bush Katrina failure than this one, then again who knows how the BDS crowd even thinks, if they do.

I happen to think that the Louisiana folks who beat the snot out of Bush over Katrina will see they did a much better job than this cluster fluck has managed, as the state run media is doing their best to cover for him.

The diametric opposite of how they treated President Bush

However, when that oil kills the fishing and tourism industries and 2000 species of marine life down there forever possibly they'll all agree I'm sadly sure for the Coast, as my own father sells real estate down there in Bonita Bay which could be effected as well and hasn't sold dick since this regime took foot.
