Oil under the water worse than originally thought!
GRAND ISLE, Louisiana - June 13, 2010 - BP could stand for burning pressure, which is what the company's feeling more every day from the illegitimate Obama White House. The message to BP: get the job done better, faster, more reliably. Or else.
To prove a point, charter boat captain Jeff Brunfield waded into Baritaria Bay. These waters look clean. Look again but deeper this time.
"I'll show you what's under the water," said Brunfield. "It's oil."
Lots of BP oil, hidden on the bottom of the bay. Brunfield says he can feel it squeezing between his toes.
"Look. Look at that," he said. "See? That shows you how thick it is down there."
He continued, "This is what's going to kill us, this stuff on the bottom because the shrimp and all that have to have the bottom."
BP's well could be leaking more than a million gallons a day, reports CBS News correspondent Mark Strassman. If so, BP's containing less than half of it.
Obama officials want the company to focus less on the gushing well, and more on stopping oil before it hits shore.
"We need to fight this war between the shore and the off-shore well," said Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen. "We've got to get our skimmers further offshore to minimize the amount of oil that comes ashore.
