The bigger Oboma can make the crises, the closer he gets to the Cap and Tax bill. Why not let it pour for, say, about 11 days just to make sure it's a real beauty.
When Oboma talks about going green, he's not talking about green plants. He talking about green currency. That bill is worth trillions of tax dollars $$$ to Oboma and his Chicago cronies.

Thank you so much for posting that!! It’s the best I’ve seen...up here in CT, I don’t get to see a lot of info on oil rigs.
That looks like it was destroyed as opposed to-it just broke!
Obama’s scheme is likely to backfire.
Nice job Bammy!
well with a nuke-wouldn’t you kill everything in the oceans also? radiation poisoning?
“...Obama simply doesn’t care....”
ONLY about himself.
During the presser, did you hear him complain about the rain in Louisiana? “I was told it would only be drizzling” he said as he laughed.
I’m sure the dead oil riggers families and all of the people who live and work down there felt really bad for him-not.
This is an Eco 9-11 in slow motion and the truth is-he screwed it up from day one.
All the jokes and pretty words and flashy smiles can’t fix this.
He owns it and has proved that no one is “too big to fail”.

Pray for some sort of intervention!
id like to know more about the 'burn' or lack thereof...
EVERYONE in the country would have known what the word "redacted" means by last Friday (April 30), after the Blagojevich PDF oopsie on April 22.
If Bush was still in office, The New York Times, the WashLaunderington Post & the Los Angeles Times would have had THREE front pages each (page 1, page 1 and page 1) filled with screaming headlines for a solid week, while Katie, Diane Sawyer and Brian would have had breathless updates every half hour on the hour in a 240 hour marathon up to today, continuing through the month of May, till the illegitimate "president" Shrub had been rightly and justly forced from office...
Not necessarily. There certainly would be problems and I’m not really sure how a nuke would work under water at those depths with that kind of pressure.
I’d hate to see it backfire and blow open a bigger hole.
Does seem a bit of an extreme solution, doesn't it?
BP has got to love this news. It is going to mitigate their liability, BIG TIME.
If burning had been permitted at the start, virtually all the damgage that is going to occur could have been prevented.
Not True.
I've watched video from submersibles of the wellhead / BOP. The rig is not near it.
I know, its nowhere near that simple, but the tech surely had contingencies for a failure, didnt it ???
also, how does 210k/day leakage compare to other natural deepwater releases ??? is this due to the proxomity of the coast, or is this a majorly huge flow in general ???
seems in the expanse of the ocean it would literally be a drop in the bucket...
>That looks like it was destroyed as opposed to-it just broke!<
So do some people who know a lot more about these things than we. I was speaking with the VP of our mineral club over the weekend. He usually is working on nuke subs in So Cal. He’s been called to go down there. Even at a dollar a minute, he’s not sure if he wants to deal with the red tape. Quizzing him on this mess I did learn this, and I quote “they don’t happen this way”.
I’ll let you draw your conclusions.
I do have another question: with over 60 people working on that rig, where are the interviews of the survivors??
If memory serves; the liquid on Titan is methane, not crude oil. Still a hydrocarbon, just a shorter chain.
