"I cannot believe we are this far into this oil blow out and Obama has not virtually lived down on the coast!"

Why? So you can bitch he's not in DC for Kagan, financial reform, climate bill, boycotting Iran, and the second Korean War?

Flow Rate
The National Incident Command's Flow Rate Technical Group (FRTG) is designed to support the response and inform the public by providing scientifically validated information about the amount of oil flowing from BP's leaking oil well while ensuring the vital efforts to cap the leak are not impeded.

The administration-wide response efforts have always been geared toward the possibility of a catastrophic event, and our deployment of resources and our tactics have bee n based on such a worst case scenario not an inexact number.

That said, the FRTG reflects the federal government's clear understanding of the long-term value of determining an oil flow rate, both in regards to the continued response and long-term recovery, as well as the important role this information may play in the final investigation of the failure of the blowout preventer and the resulting spill.
