Leaked Report From April 28 Shows US Government Believed Gulf Spill Could Become "Unchecked Gusher"

A leaked report from April 30 shows the Obama administration believed the Gulf oil spill could become an “unchecked gusher.” Yet, despite this, Team Obama has not exactly acted like this was the case.
Fore!
Barack Obama went golfing this weekend as thick blobs of tar began washing up on the Alabama shore.
Al.com reported:
A confidential government report on the unfolding spill disaster in the Gulf makes clear the Coast Guard now fears the well could become an unchecked gusher shooting millions of gallons of oil per day into the Gulf.
“The following is not public,” reads the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Emergency Response document dated April 28. “Two additional release points were found today in the tangled riser. If the riser pipe deteriorates further, the flow could become unchecked resulting in a release volume an order of magnitude higher than previously thought.”
Asked Friday to comment on the document, NOAA spokesman Scott Smullen said that the additional leaks described were reported to the public late Wednesday night. Regarding the possibility of the spill becoming an order of magnitude larger, Smullen said, “I’m letting the document you have speak for itself.”

And where were the firebooms? Who was supposed to keep the supply ready for ‘as the 1994 plan instructed’, for immediate use.
Obama-Speak, the fusion of sophistry and Newspeak. Some say it’s a gift, but most know it for what it really is, just lies.

Obama will golf, take his wife up to gnu yawk for dinner, and make every attempt to make his presence known just to p-o his detractors until the media can whip this into a full-fledged catastrophe that he and rahm can exploit to their hearts content when nut-cuttin time finally gets here in Nov.- ’11.

Clueless. The useless POS’s are no better than the idiots that voted them or the nitwits (on TV) that continue to worship the freaking imbecile.

Golfing? I thought he should take his mop down to the gulf instead.
DocScience commented:
Considering that Obama, who actually knows nothing, but thinks he knows everything, is a micromanager, it’s important to keep him golfing to keep the government from really screwing up here.
Elly commented:
I’m surprised he hasn’t turned the WH grounds into an amusement park, and “gardens” into a mini golf course and petting zoo.
I can picture he and Michelle riding around on a mini locamotive sounding the horn at every crisis and near miss (NY times square) … Allll aboard! What’s that??? terrorist, oil spill, I’m not listening! Chooochoooo!!

Oh, no, no: tune into Pris Matthews tonight and you’ll hear him blathering a spraying spittle about what a man of action Odumbo is, sitting around thinking and pondering about what to do.
Never mind that all of that thinking and pondering gets nothing done.
