No Doomsday Scenarios from BP (NYSE:BP) Oil Spill Says Obama Spokesman

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said today in a briefing to reporters that the numerous doomsday scenarios hyped by the media concerning the BP (NYSE:BP) oil spill won't be coming to pass.

Gibbs said, "I think it is fairly safe to say ... that many of the doomsday scenarios that we talked about and repeated a lot have not and will not come to fruition."

Another federal report said about 75 percent of the oil released into the Gulf of Mexico has been contained, evaporated or eaten by the prolific microbes gorging on the oil.

The rest of the 25 percent of the oil is disappearing fast, and while still remaining a threat, should largely go the way of the rest of the oil.

Rather than be glad of this reality, radical environmentalists, and not-so-radical ones, have been questioning the validity and honesty of the reports, wanting desperately for the oil spill to be an unprecedented disaster in order to seek opportunities to further their agendas. This has outraged many, who are troubled the Gulf of Mexico is able to heal itself so well, like affirmed by people like Rush Limbaugh and outgoing BP CEO Tony Hayward.

Some lawmakers are also irritated that they can't pursue this as an election issue, or to use to create an endless number of laws which would hinder the industry in the Gulf. They should be happy with what they've received, as some laws are sure to go on the books, even though that direction has been halted in the light of the non-catastrophe.

What should be celebrated as great news has all these people and organizations hanging their heads because of the lost opportunity.
