U.S. PRESIDENT, Barack Obama seems to be appeasing the fishermen and other inhabitants on the Gulf Coast, after a massive oil pipeline rupture, which has endangered the fisheries, oyester beds and beaches of the affected area in South-Eastern Louisiana, due to leakage of oil.
On behalf of the U.S. Govt., he assured people about the immediate steps that the government is taking to control the situation. "Your government will do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to stop this crisis," Obama said during a visit on Sunday to southeastern Louisiana.” "We're dealing with a massive and potentially unprecedented environmental disaster." he added. Obama took stock of the situation in the east of Venice to view the loss of marshlands and estuaries by the oil spill. In reality, oil companies and the government lack the technology to prevent the damage from oil spilling which, in turn, threatens the whole ecological balance.
Adm. Thad Allen, the Coast Guard commandant, said that the volume of spewing oil could climb to 100,000 barrels a day, a much greater statistics, than is believed to exist now.
