Now, now......even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then. My faith in them is strictly limited to when they actually espouse or say something that is actually true and correct. On this very limited issue some in the administration have finally said what those of us in the know have been saying for a while.

Besides, it should give you more of a reason to be optimistic if those from opposite ends of the political spectrum are saying the same thing. Besides, the administration is only reporting what NOAA and their experts are telling them. Since all presumably have a political or ideological motivation to report the opposite it should actually increase your confidence that it is factually correct. The difference between them and me is I am happy to report this news while they report it grudgingly and likely always with the under-the-breath epithet "darn it". "Most of the oil has been cleaned up....darn it." "The dispersants are not any more of a risk to human or ecological receptors than the oil and have actually helped with the cleanup.....darn it"

So let's all be realistic about the short-term impact of this spill and lives adversely impacted while at the same time being optimistic about the long-term impact on the environment and those that depend on the Gulf for their livelihood.
