If I remember correctly there was a no fly zone over the area so no one could witness what was really going on.

I also remember that Obama’s family supposedly vacationed on Florida’s west coast and made a big thing out of declaring the water safe to swim in.

It was probably all really a scheme to destroy life in the Gulf of Mexico. Detergents are wetting agents. They destroy the surface tension of water. They make water wetter. They make water able to soak into things that would normally have a water resistant barrier. An example would be that the detergent would dissolve the oil coating on feathers causing sea birds to drown.
