Ever since one of the largest oil spills ever, a recent report showed how the Obama administration handled the situation. The report states that administration played down the effects of the spill and was late in their initial reaction to it. The report also says that politics played a role in how the spill was handled.
Many people who feel strongly about the issue will be affected by the report in the coming elections. The white house denied the results of the report and said the situation was handled correctly. I just hope this kind of spill never happens again.
