In Stunning Setback, BP Freezes Oil Spill Work Under Government Pressure
NEW ORLEANS — BP’s work on capping the Gulf of Mexico gusher was frozen Wednesday after the federal government raised concerns the operation could put damaging pressure on the busted well that could make the leak worse.
An administration official, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the talks with BP, said the government was acting out of “abundance of caution” and didn’t want potentially dangerous pressure tests on a tighter containment cap that has been placed over the well to go ahead until BP answers questions about possible risks.
Either you want the fucker capped or you don’t. GET OFF THE ENGINEERS’ BACKS.
And while you’re at it, get this goldbricker back on the job.
I agree with everything you said except the last sentence. I think the President should take a nice European vacation for six months. I honestly believe it’s the best thing he can do for our country!
I want him in the White House taking blame.
He’s going to spend his time demonizing BP. BP really did screw the pooch, but government red tape has made the problem worse.
Obama wants the worst disaster possible.
Too bad the tards of the world can’t understand his real motives.
