I wonder if they are speaking too soon?

[savedbygrace]

I hadn’t heard that they started pumping the cement in yet. I thought they needed to keep pumping the heavy mud until the upward pressure from the oil reaches zero before doing that.

[hoosiermama]

Wish it was as easy to stop the flow FROM Mexico!

[my small voice]

Then what the hell is spewing out of the hole??!!

[a real Sheila]

Um, why is stuff still coming out if it is plugged?

I wouldn’t consider it a success until it is PLUGGED and NOTHING is coming out!

Not mud, not cement, and certainly not OIL!

"government engineers"

Funny, not one mention of this specie of animal until the great 0 so spake today.

“The government did nothing.”

Well, the govt DID cause BP to wait until today to try the TopKill. So, in effect, the govt created this devestation by standing in the way.

[Apparatchik]

Thank God!!!

No, thank ME!

I hope the engineers and other assorted working stiffs get the credit for figuring this out. I can’t imagine how hard they must have worked.

[RedRedRose]

LOL

Then what the hell is spewing out of the hole??!!

Obama's promises.

Baraq Petroleum!

We salute you!

[DaxtonBrown]

[Well, betcha this just went from a BP to an Obama operation. ]

Oh it did. The Obama administration was there at every step, with their slippers on the neck of BP.

[throwback]

I stand corrected.

[longtermmemmory]

wonderful now we have an Obama BS gusher.

BP Engineers succeed in stopping oil flow in Gulf of Mexico.

XXXX

Engineers...Schmengineers.

Everyone knows it was those ever-constructive, career bureaucrats and Ivy League lawyers in this productive, hard-working Administration.

Is there ANYTHING they can’t do better than the schmucks in the private sector?

We’re lucky to have them......

Looks like something just blew around 3:15pm EST. This vid is much different than the one from just a few minutes ago.

“I stand corrected.”

Man, you’re easy....but with my profound sense of logic and common sense, I see why one would capitulate so quickly.

Now, let me at ObommieDaCommie!

[Osage Orange]

Really?

What/who are you listening to?
