Uncovered by reporters from Bloomberg News it appears that the administration, according to their own documents, knew of large crack leaks of oil and natural gas at the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig on FEBRUARY 13, 2010. And at some point near that date the rig reported a near miss on a massive explosion that was also reported to the administration.

And DID NOTHING!!!

My new syndicated column has more details…

“It seems incomprehensible that you Mr. President and other members of the administration still have your jobs when it is now being reported that the federal government was apprised by BP on February 13th that the Deepwater Horizon oil rig was leaking oil and natural gas into the ocean floor. In fact according to documents in your own department’s files (MMS) you knew that BP was fighting large cracks at the base of the well for roughly ten days back before the spring thaw had arrived. Further it seems you were also apprised six weeks prior to the rig’s fatal explosion that killed eleven of her workers, when a smart guy from Berkley, you know the global capital of intellectualism, announced to the world a near miss on the rig by stating, “They damn near blew up the rig.” It’s also now being reported it appears that BP was asking for your help on this matter long before the deadly accident and the now gushing well of tar.

As a matter of fact it appears they told you on February 13th, and desired your help.”
