The conservative spin machine has really gone off the rails with this.
A sampling of sound bites I've heard:
- This is Obama's Katrina (wut?)
- Environmental radicals sabotaged the pipeline to make a political stance
- Obama administration WANTED a crisis like this
- This is good for Obama because he's so anti-oil (even though he just opened off shore drilling and ran on a pro-drilling platform)
