At this point, as the era of Hopey Changey with unicorn poots comes to an end, reading this kind of information is about as shocking as death wishes by Internet liberals: we’re pretty much inured, acclimated, if you will, about the whole thing
As an unprecedented amount of oil fouls the Gulf of Mexico, research scientists and ocean experts say the Obama administration’s efforts to discover the magnitude of the damage are surprisingly uncoordinated.
The hell you say! Obama being in over his head? Get out of here!
A focused inquiry found that there’s no strategy to find out what is going on, what the potential issues will be, no one is in charge of merging what data there is, little is known about the plumes and where they are, and whether BP is spinning what data there is. But, hey, Obama said it’s like 9/11, so, he’ll get on it. Once he finishes 18.
That so much about the spill remains unknown is “kind of mind-boggling,” said Frank Muller-Karger, a professor of biological oceanography at the University of South Florida. He said that one of the biggest problems he sees is the lack of a “war-room-type scenario” to coordinate all the research.
“There’s no single entity that’s coordinating all the results and data from the research that’s going on, whether it’s within a (federal) agency or agency-funded or BP-funded. I can’t say and I’m not sure anybody can say” what her fellow scientists are working on. “We don’t know if it’s adequately covered right now.”
Don’t worry, Barry will get on it right away, after that cool party and concert at the White House.
