One of many sob stories to come, because of Obama's failure to act quick enough. You do remember what the media did to Bush over Katrina, an act of God. No, ok, try this -- they blamed Bush for everything, not caring for black people, and including blowing up the New Orleans levees.
Sea turtles are open water creatures, unless they are laying eggs, for the most part. A dead sea turtle lies on the beach in Pass Christian, Miss., Sunday, May 2, 2010. Researchers from the Institute of Marine Mammal Sciences from Gulfport, Miss., collected the turtles and will examine them to determine the cause of death...
GULFPORT, Miss. – At least 20 sea turtles have been found dead this weekend along a 30-mile stretch of Mississippi beaches from Biloxi to Bay St. Louis.
While wildlife officials can't say with certainty the turtles, some endangered, died as a result of the oil spill, the number concerns them.
Moby Solangi, director of the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport, Miss., said Sunday this is typically the time of year when turtles wash up on shore.
Solangi says even though no oil appears to be on the turtles, they may still have been sickened by consuming oil-coated fish. He says that won't be clear until necropsies are performed on Monday.
Some of the dead reptiles are endangered Kemps ridley turtles.

And the very first thing they did when they come to the "rescue' was to - get this - have their lawyers SUE the perpetrators. Not to help with the rescue attempt - no, they brought their crew of lawyers!
