Cleanup Good, The President Is Coming!

I did find a few things:

After weeks of BP´s damaged well releasing oil into the Gulf of Mexico, Russian newspaper Komsomoloskaya Pravda has suggested the United States use the same strategy they used to seal a number of oil wells - nuclear weapons.

The technique described involves drilling a hole between 25 and 50 metres from the oil well and setting off a customised nuke. Between 1966 and 1981 it was used five times for four successes, with the failure possibly due to bad positioning.

The suggestion is not without its problems, however, as pulling it off in a significant depth of water would provide a significant challenge. In addition, the environmental problems could compound if radiation is accidentally released.

Oh cool, thanks. I went back outside when I posted to you earlier.
I think we can do the same without using nukes, no? Can't we just ignite a big friggin' bomb down there? For shit's sake, we have those precision missiles and bombs now, I see no reason that we can't adjust it to do minimal damage.

In that debacle of a press conference President Obama tried to claim that he and his staff were in charge from day one and that BP is acting under direction of his people. If that's so then HE and his staff are responsible for the continuing failure to cap the leak.

There are rumblings that both BP and the government failed to follow proper protocols which aggravated the situation.

Read about it

BP is in Obama's pocket too. They donated a nice chunk of $$ to his campaign fund. Funny how the bitched about "big oil" being evil but taking their money is AOK by him.

If this was the dreaded and evil George Bush's disaster, the media would be screaming bloody murder and worse. I'm sick of him and his administration blaming someone else. I listen to every speech he makes - well every one that is aired - and he throws a nice line of bullshit and faux indignation to it all. He'll claim full responsibility and then a few sentences later, he's laying the blame elsewhere.
