the reason it had not been cleaned up already was a conspiracy on the part of President Obama.
That seems pretty absurd, but remember the same people probably also believe there once lived a man who was the son of the maker of heaven and earth, who was stone dead for three days and then rose again. Compared to that, the thing about Obama is downright sane.
The OP says that conversation happened in the spring of 2010, but the well wasn’t capped until July, and oil is still washing up on shore today. Even if everything in Vaniver’s post were true (which it isn’t), those extra ships would have needed to be miraculously effective to have the entire spill cleaned up by the end of spring 2010.
