Title: Oil spill threatens 'total destruction'

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico may have apocalyptic consequences, a report by the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources said.

The British Petroleum oil spill is threatening the entire eastern half of the North American continent with "total destruction," reports say.

An ominous report by Russia's Ministry of Natural Resources warned of the impending disaster resulting from the British Petroleum (BP) oil and gas leak in the Gulf of Mexico, calling it the worst environmental catastrophe in all of human history, the European Union Times reported.

Russian scientists believe BP is pumping millions of gallons of Corexit 9500, a chemical dispersal agent, under the Gulf of Mexico waters to hide the full extent of the leak, now estimated to be over 2.9 million gallons a day.

Experts say Corexit 9500 is a solvent four times more toxic than oil.

The agent, scientists believe, has a 2.61ppm toxicity level, and when mixed with the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, its molecules will be able to “phase transition.”

This transition involves the change of the liquid into a gaseous state, which can be absorbed by clouds. The gas will then be released as “toxic rain” leading to “unimaginable environmental catastrophe” destroying all life forms from the “bottom of the evolutionary chart to the top,” the report said.


Poster Comment:

This could end his Presidency as his strongest support is amongst blacks and east coast liberals. The Sestak appointment affair might provide sufficient material for an impeachment. This might happen in September the same time the march on Washington demanding Obama show his birth certificate. If he is forced to resign, all of the bills he signed would be repealed. You might think that the Democrat politicians would stick with Obama but the Gulf oil spill will be far worse than Chernobyl.

A big question mark there. A bill passed by congress and not signed nor vetoed by the pres within, I think 10 days becomes law by default.

But on a more serious note, if the article is accurate, are we really concerned about political matters and about who's president?

I think you got it backwards.

This describes a pocket veto. Its a cowards way of vetoing a bill without issuing a veto.

Edit to add:

C-SPAN Congressional Glossary

TermDefinitionUsed In

Pocket Veto

A Pocket Veto is when the President

fails to sign a bill within the 10

days allowed by the Constitution.

Congress must be in adjournment in

order for a pocket veto to take

effect.

If Congress is in session and the

president fails to sign the bill,

it becomes law without his signature.

Thanks. Okay, then the pocket veto is only applicable when congress is not in session. But if it is in session, then as per the chart, the bill becomes law without his signature after 10 days.
