Guard watches coast for oil slick's first wave

[firstdown]

I'll have to say as a supporter of offshore drilling our politicians (both parties) have really screwed the public with these oil rigs. I would have never thought that we would have an oil leak that could go on for a month and this one could go for a six or more months. How the hell could goverment allow this to happen? I'm not big on regulations but this is just common sense that we have ways of stopping a major oil leak. Every single one of them Republican and Democratic have sold us off to big oil and there influence in Washington.
