There Is No Planet B

We're rediscovering why a successful campaign team doesn't always make an effective leadership team. A gigantic ecological and environmental disaster is 36 days into changing the planet for countless decades, and Robert Gibbs is mad at the press.

BP can't get an alternative dispersant in time for a government deadline, and the United States government is again at the mercy of a Too Big To Stop corporate villain.

19 oil drilling permits without proper environmental oversight have been approved since the moratorium on no new drilling permits. Ken Salazar can't give a straight answer why. "Grandfathered" isn't good enough.

Where and when does this become a Federal Emergency? When the oil spill reaches Washington D.C.?

Peter Daou said it best; and then Rayne at The Seminal took it from there. There is no Planet B.
