Obama told how bad Gulf oil spill would be days after BP's rig exploded: report 05 Jun 2010 As criticism of the Obama administration's response to the massive oil spill in the Gulf, a new report claims the president was told by a government official in April just how much damage BP's exploded offshore rig would cause. Days after the Deepwater Horizon rig blew up, Carol Browner, head of the White House's Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy, told Obama the explosion would result in a never-before-seen disaster, senior White House aides told The Daily Beast. [This means that Obusha crisis spokesman, BP tarball Thad Allen, kept pimping for BP, despite WH knowledge of the depths of the disaster. --LRP]
