The "normal" amount of oil and petroleum in Gulf beach water is none. With all the modern crap, and the BP disaster, a chemist guessted that there would be maybe 5 ppm (parts per million).
Local news in Alabama tested water and sand on the beaches of Gulf Shores where children were playing and found at over 12 times that much in the water and over 42 times that much in the sand. The sample taken near booms off shore? Testing that water for oil caused the sample to explode.
And the GOP and Teabaggers are continuing to chant "Drill, Baby. Drill!"? The environmental and economic impact of this will be catastrophic for the region. How long before the parade of dying children? Voting republican is not about fiscal policy. Hasn't been in years. Can Republican voters and Teabaggers be so hateful of minorities and gays that they will cling to the GOP and the Right despite the corruption, damaging rhetoric, and outright ecological, financial and overall devastation?
