Just a week before the Deepwater Horizon exploded, BP PLC asked regulators to approve three successive changes to its oil well over 24 hours, according to federal records reviewed by the Wall Street Journal. The unusual rapid-fire requests to modify permits reveal that BP was tweaking a crucial aspect of the well's design up until its final days. One of the design decisions outlined in the revised permits, drilling experts say, may have left the well more vulnerable to the blowout that occurred April 20, killing 11 workers and leaving crude oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico. ..The Minerals Management Service approved all the changes quickly, in one instance within five minutes of submission. corruption in idiot odumba administration

where is idiot odumba: Six-Foot Oil Sheen Found Along Florida Panhandle Shoreline By Mike Esterl Of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL A six-foot-long oil sheen was found along Florida's Panhandle shoreline Wednesday, as winds pushed April's massive Gulf oil spill closer to the summer tourism hotspot. The oil sheen appeared to be a small breakaway piece from a larger sheen measuring 50 feet by 20 feet that was still 46 miles off the coast of Pensacola on Tuesday afternoon, according to a spokeswoman at the unified command center in Mobile, Alabama that is tracking the spill. (This story and related background material will be available on The Wall Street Journal Web site, WSJ.com.) The smaller sheen was found "close to the beach if not right on the beach," the spokeswoman added. The Florida Panhandle is in the northwestern part of Florida, a long stretch of white sandy beaches popular with tourists from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Pensacola is located in the western-most part of the Panhandle, bordering Alabama. It is the first time authorities have reported an oil sheen along Florida's coast following the April explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico. But winds from the south could push more oil toward Florida in the coming days.
