(V): Get with it Jules. It's clear that in the beginning (and for a long time) Obama did very little to help curb the spill. And it's also a fact that Obama refused help. As for your claim, I can find NOTHING to support your claim. Not that I don't think it's likely at this point. How long as it been now?
I don't know the nature of the ships helping, the countries they are from, no details. So I'll not take your word or that of Media matters either.
Even if it's true, Obama STILL refused help from countries that were willing to help. They had the proper equipment.
Meanwhile, Obama was stonewalling requests from Louisiana's Governor for needed help/equipment/permits etc.
