Geeee, where ever did that petroleum come from???
Earth to the POTUS, come POTUS.
1/4 of the nation’s seafood comes from the Gulf. A larger portion of the shellfish we eat comes from the bottom of the very same part of the ocean. You know, bottom? Like where the oil and other toxic chemicals went?
Sure, telling people the seafood is safe might help fishermen but it’d be a whole hell of a lot more helpful to admit there is poison in the Gulf so we can start doing something about it. Ostriches make lousy tacticians. Pretending everything is fine is not going to fix it.
Funny how the best reporting on the subject is so far away from the problem, eh?
