Looks like it may have been plugged! At least from the video feed.

I guess Obama scared them in getting it done.

I hope so but lets just hope Prez doesn't go in tomorrow (a month late) and declare mission accomplished. The cleanup- or failure to execute a plan to preemptively address it is my biggest problem with this disaster. It's too late for a lot of areas now, and by some accounts damage could have been mitigated to a degree. No excuse for that from anyone and if BP wasn't getting the job done, the government should have had the courage to step in. Complete failures all the way around.

Fixing oil disaster my responsibility, Obama says

President Barack Obama defensively and sometimes testily insisted on Thursday that his administration, not oil giant BP, was calling the shots in responding to the worst oil spill in the nation's history.

"I take responsibility. It is my job to make sure this thing is shut down," Obama declared at a news conference in the East Room of the White House. The Gulf of Mexico oil spill dominated the hour-long session.

Talk is cheap when you haven't proceeded with any urgency for a crisis in the past month.

:tro::tro:

i'm sure it's all bushes fault. after all, halliburton was involved. which means dick cheney is in there somewhere...poor obama, having to clean up yet another republican eff up. :rolleyes:

Q: The spill?

THE PRESIDENT: The spill. And it's not just me, by the way. When I woke this morning and I'm shaving and Malia knocks on my bathroom door and she peeks in her head and she says, "Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?"

Not to worry he is on the job!

He should have said " Yes honey just go ask your Mommie"

Haliburton as a sub-contractor?

Air Force 1 just left O'Hare for Louisiana. See he cares!

If you don't think he cares, then Chuck's must have opened early today:D

going to get his gumbo.....

I know he cares this is finally one of those bi-partisian moments. Like post 9-11 before the loons were out suspecting Bush flew the jets into the buildings via remote control. Chucks has been taken over by 'the tourists' for the summer. Tons of Germans for some reason.

Tell them to come down and see Klink run on Monday:D

:tro:

Baby steps we're just trying to figure out how to get them to wear propper trunks instead of speedos. I'll see ya some time this w/e. Probably Mon. and I'll mention it to the 3rd reich assembled. I find it amazing how many drink Miller Light with Hacker Pschorr, Becks, Guiness etc avaiable.
