Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill......like deja vu all over again....!!!

How many environmental disasters will it take for the U.S. to decide that stricter laws and proactive measures need to be in place before we allow oil companies to drill offshore?

Just weeks after President Obama announced plans for increased offshore oil and gas drilling (a move that is counter to the environmental platform he ran on during his Presidential campaign), we now have an environmental disaster of biblical proportions threatening the environmentally-sensitive coast of Louisiana. In addition, the oil slick is now threatening the coasts of Alabama and Florida.

So sorry BP, I guess you won't be getting that environmental safety award you were scheduled to receive several weeks ago!
