Oil Springs eternal

the news about the oil gusher under the Gulf does not look that encouraging today. while it is too soon to tell, it is disheartening that the BP engineers have moved from the mud shot to the junk shot. The mud and concrete first used did not stop the oil so they have moved on to pumpin golf balls and pieces of tires into the pipes.

Let's hope that we get good news soon. Meanwhile, maybe President Obama who claims to be in charge could tell us what did and what did not work. wouldn't it be nice if instead of pointing fingers at everyone else, he actually got the clean up going faster. Indeed, it might be nice if governor Jindal could finally get the permit he needs to build the berms off shore to stop the oil. My guess, however, is that the approval will be held up until the entire coast is fouled. Then, once it is too late approval will be given but the feds will say "see, it did not work".

Obama should get a title like "Mr. Incompetent". for the good of the country, he has to go!
