Why do people put on so much of a Show, cleaning up Obama's Oil, special Suits & Hats TV Cameras worried looks?

I'm wondering if I should put on a HazMat Suit to put on a little Sun Tan Oil. Maybe anything below SPF 30 would be OK to touch without wearing a Special TV HazMat Suit

    All those people you saw "working" around Obama in Grand Isle were bussed in for the photo-op. As soon as he left for his golfing and fund raising, they were bussed away.

    You realize that cleaning up crude oil is a bit different than commercially available stuff you might buy, right? Crude is nothing like the oil that you might find in your engine or in body oils, it contains a wide array of compounds potentially hazardous to human health.

    Ummm...hello...it's toxic. The oil as well as BP's dispersant are harmful to life. The dispersant has already sent multiple people to hospitals because of contact.
