So where is Mr. “plug the damn hole” now?

[NormsRevenge]

Politics... and an agenda.. to strangle this nation’s economy .. one well-head at a time.

[Tzimisce]

The “Environmental” President.

Harry Reid has not yet got Cap and Trade passed. He said on Monday he would introduce it this week.

When things don’t seem right, they probably aren’t.

Don’t want to waste the crisis do we?

[DJ Frisat]

This is a classic ‘desiged-by-committee’ result. You get the gov’t and ‘experts’ together, and between them, they come up with enough ‘what if?’ scenarios that everyone is paralyzed and nobody gets anything done.

Sometimes, you just have to take your best shot and see how it goes. Then you can change directions if necessary.

[TShaunK]

The Obama Feds just want to include themselves in the conversation, so in ten day from now when they give the final go ahead to plug the leak.they will take credit for it and of course the lap dog media will follow the lead with headlines “OBAMA GIVES GO AHEAD TO PLUG OIL LEAK” or “FEDS MOVE IN TO STOP LEAK!”

[ArmstedFragg]

You could sort of see this coming in their exchange of letters. The government wanted BP to guarantee the outcome, and BP kept saying it wouldn’t know what the outcome was until it did the test. So essentially this is a pause for the Feds to try to find a way to avoid the blame in case something goes wrong. Time for BP to just say, “screw it”, hook up the third production facility and wait a month for the kill well to work. As long as all the leak is being captured, the only risk from waiting is hurricanes.

The more it pours oil, the more he gets the love of the ‘greenies’, backs their goals..

[kcvl]

This makes my head hurt!

What a bunch of stupid jerks! I guess they had to ask an ‘expert’ who has no damn clue what they are talking about.

Obama, STOP PLAYING POLITICS WITH EVERYTHING! You are ruining people's lives!

[mewzilla]

Questions, my derriere. I wonder if there’s some stock manipulation going on. BP caps that well, the company’ll be a lot more expensive...

[silverleaf]

Surely the “federal government” knows more about what BP is doing than BP’s own engineers ...

[Cheetahcat]

Amazing a complete idiot and fool like Barry could do this now.

[numberonepal]

These MFers are making politics personal for a whole sh!tload of folks with guns.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

OK y'all, PERHAPS I can understand the argument about the capping operation, but what logic is there in stopping the relief drilling? What am I missing here?

Does anyone know how far they are from TD or who is doing the MWD?

[domeika]

So now they can cap the leak, but O & Co. say no?

I say let's start a real rock fight. Every minute that oil is gushing out, BP's tab goes up, which affects the "pensioners" in Great Britain. Their new PM, David Cameron (conservative party), should give them (BP) the order to "Plug the bloody hole."

[DustyMoment]

Bammy doesn’t want this fixed. The longer he can obstruct everything and keep it going, the more he is allowed to pursue his radical agenda “under the radar”.

[Uncle Chip]

It’s extortion — Obama will allow the leak to be plugged if Cap and Trade is passed first.

[mstar]

I don't know what is going on here, but something “stinks”.

Hubby and I are in south Louisiana now, having driven over Monday so he could work at one of the refineries. I can tell you, the people here are angry. . . very angry. If the delay is because "Free Ride Barry" and his thugs are messin' with honest progress, well let's put it this way, he and his Bag Woman might want to stay in Maine.

[4yearlurker]

Well gee whiz! What will 0bama tell his daughter now?
