but we all remember it took Barack Obama fourteen days to visit the gulf coast after the BP oil spill.
"On April 20, 2010 BP's Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers and commencing months of oil leaking unrestrained into the ocean. Efforts to manage the spill with controlled burning, dispersants and plugging the leak were unsuccessful until BP capped the well in mid-July, temporarily halting the flow of oil into the Gulf. The well was then successfully plugged and declared "effectively dead" on September 19." Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/30/louisiana-oil-spill-2010_n_558287.html
