Here's one of my first posts and observations on a then potential Obama presidency in Feb 07/ I'm no prophet believe you me..... it was all common sense far too many today simply 'lack',
George Mason explained, “(T)o disarm the people (is) the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” Noah Webster elaborated: “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed
These people have incredible video of illegals, Armed terrorists, you name it invading the country each second of every day..
Gee, now Obama can take it easy and relax, head out to the golf course and enjoy himself after the 86 days with no sleep barricaded in the White House working 26 hours a day 'pluggin the damn hole' for his little daughter.
Oh, that's right, that's what he should have been doing the entire time.
Perhaps this cap will work on the Teleprompter King's 'Lie' Hole!
We'll hope and pray this holds, as we know damn well the dems pray it does, so it doesn't interfere with the elections as it didn't have the 'intended effect' when they let the spill 'escalate and accelerate', in hopes everyone would jump on the Alinsky -Emmanuel/Obama 'never waste a crisis' dogma, demanding an end to the era of 'big oil' and usher in the 'tax-cap and trade 'era of not 'robber barons' but 'Climate Barons' like BP, and Al the climate whore rapist Gore.
Instead, what we have here is yet another monumental leftist 'false flag' failure to heap on top of their hoped for wealth distribution mechanism 'Climate Scam 101' and will make due with the Obamacare redistribution they've 'gotten past the Goalie' by distracting 'the referee' per se..
This by the way was Michelle from Hell's 'Oil spill chic' she was wearing on her 20 minute fly by yesterday. Nice. I can envision the entire coast female population snappin em up....in san fran freako perhaps.
BP: No oil leaking into Gulf from busted well - Yahoo! News: "NEW ORLEANS – Oil stopped gushing into the Gulf of Mexico from BP's busted well Thursday for the first time since the disastrous spill began, the oil giant said. It was the most significant milestone yet in BP's effort to control one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history.
Now begins a waiting period to see if the cap can hold the oil without blowing a new leak in the well. Engineers will monitor pressure readings incrementally for up to 48 hours before reopening the cap while they decide what to do next. The cap is only planned as a temporary fix until a final plug is set from underground, maybe next month.
The news elicited joy mixed with skepticism from Gulf Coast residents wearied by months of false starts, setbacks and failures. Alabama Gov. Bob Riley's face lit up when he heard the oil flow had stopped.
'That's great. I think a lot of prayers were answered today,' said Riley.
In Washington, President Barack Obama said the success was a 'positive sign.' But he added, 'We're still in the testing phase.'
The stoppage came 85 days, 16 hours and 25 minutes after the first report April 20 of an explosion on the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon oil rig that killed 11 workers and triggered the spill.
The proof is mounting that Obama's in control alright, in control of allowing this crisis to continue until they can extract whatever they're seeking from it's continuance since they're not interested in allowing the LA governor to make Obummer look bad as he's continued to do.
WDSU New Orleans NEW ORLEANS -- The federal government is shutting down the dredging that was being done to create protective sand berms in the Gulf of Mexico.
The berms are meant to protect the Louisiana coastline from oil. But the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department has concerns about where the dredging is being done.
Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser, who was one of the most vocal advocates of the dredging plan, has sent a letter to President Barack Obama, pleading for the work to continue.
Nungesser said the government has asked crews to move the dredging site two more miles farther off the coastline.
"Once again, our government resource agencies, which are intended to protect us, are now leaving us vulnerable to the destruction of our coastline and marshes by the impending oil," Nungesser wrote to Obama. "Furthermore, with the threat of hurricanes or tropical storms, we are being put at an increased risk for devastation to our area from the intrusion of oil.
Nungesser has asked for the dredging to continue for the next seven days, the amount of time it would take to move the dredging operations two miles and out resume work.
If this isn't proof that Obama and BP are actually in 'collusion' to allow this crisis to worsen nothing is.
Obama and his henchmen have fought the Louisiana government and Bobby Jindahl since the very beginning of this 'intentional' spill which I believe was allowed to happen to push the agenda as we've discovered along the way that BP is one Obama's 'Cap and Trade' partners BP Obama has just been putting a 'show' for the world as they allowed the blowout to happen it's become more obvious now than it's ever been during the entire 65 day, contrived crisis.
Why else has not a single recommendation sent to BP from the public at large, 80,000 submissions, not been viable nor used to 'plug the damn hole' and I don't mean Obama's pie hole or Lady Gaga's public holes either.
Because the 'powers that be' aren't interested in stopping it quickly or they would have done it. Nor do they seem to interested in mitigating the damages as we now know they don't care, they want to exploit this as an excuse to run over the voters and LA indigenous population to usher in trillions of dollars of profits in the so called 'greening of America'.
They hold many of the patents and since the 'global warming train' crashed they needed another way and quick.
This is it.

First of all, this fund was going to be established ANYWAYS, and dems are simply trying to score political points by acting as if it 'was their idea'. (the photoshop came from a friend at Liberally Conservative, and I tweaked it just a bit btw)
I call it extortion Jesse Jackson / Don Corleone style.
This man from BP is going to spend the rest of his life in depositions and for the people of congress to drag him in there before any of this has hit a courtroom is ludicrous, because he's going to say what he has to in order to make sure they don't come back and charge him with perjury, since the damn thing is still leaking, and Obama, nor can any of those congressional crooks.
I'd bet most of them can't even make their own coffee.
I was going to write something to this effect on the BK issue after watching this Dog and Pony flogging today by the criminal Obama administration,, but found this 'Letter to the editor" that says everything I was thinking the whole time.
By now, we are all nauseous from watching oil-soaked pelicans and the well-cam for more than eight weeks. Everyone agrees that the Gulf is a disaster. Adding to the distress, we have to watch politicians trying to outdo one another expressing their outrage.
Suggestions that BP could fix this problem if it really wanted to are ridiculous. No one is more motivated to bring the situation under control than BP. Our government doesn’t have expertise in deep-water well operations. The deep-water-drilling moratorium is causing further economic damage. Politicians want to add this cost to BP’s liabilities when our government imposed the ban because its regulations and oversight are inadequate.
BP generates more than $25 billion in annual cash flow. Calls for sending BP into bankruptcy or nationalizing the assets are ill-advised. BP should be left intact in order to fund the 20-year cleanup of the Gulf.

Thinking as these morons in congress have will cause the company, which has already kept BP from paying dividends and now British pensioners from paying their rent these coming months to go belly up, as if they even have the right to do this shit....... and when they DO help bankrupt this company, which they're already doing to the stock by continuing to bad mouth it and flog it like this, guess what happens then, you dumbassed, liberal Criminals in Congress?
No one will get a "G** Damn" thing.
Who does that help?
No one, because then WE then get the bill coming in both ends, as they either go BK and rename themselves to continue on, which they can easily do, or the company remains viable and everyone hurt legitimately injured in some way gets money.
But everyone knows how that went during Katrina as people in Jails were even collecting money, and who the hell says this Obama picked panel that has not one oil person on it won't screw everyone and enrich the already rich?
With these liberals it's not what they do, it's all the unintended consequnces of what they do that fuck the rest of us Barney Frank Style.
Remember these freaking things? How they were abused? Fraud inevitably happens when a behemoth rushes to hand out other people's money.
Haste Makes Waste, remember that? It happens every time. Without fail, rush into things like handing out free money and every slime from here to Saudi Arabia is looking for a chunk of it.
I'll bet Obama spent more time taking a 'dump' this morning than he did with these people who he hasn't met with nor even talked to once until now.
With all the BS he has to force out of both ends each day, that's at the very least a 20 minute visit twice a day for him.
Contrarily, if I was running this thing for America like I ran printing companies on 2 separate occasions which gives even me more executive experience than Obama, BP would have an office in the White House until it was fixed, in the freaking basement, right between the Cheney Hurricane Machine and Bin Laden's room for you far- lefties reading this. (actually, calling them 'far left' is like the difference between radical and moderate Muslim....there is no difference, just sounds better for the PC afflicted)
POLITICO.com Oil giant BP has agreed to finance a $20 billion escrow fund to pay claims to people who lost income in the Gulf Coast oil spill, an administration source told POLITICO Wednesday.
Lawyer Kenneth Feinberg, who was in charge of payments to families of victims of the 9/11 attacks, will oversee the fund, the source said.
The news came as President Barack Obama finally had his showdown with top executives of BP Wednesday. The White House had announced over the weekend that it would press the company to set up a fund, which would be administered by a third party, to pay what is expected to be billions of dollars in damage claims from people and businesses up and down the Gulf Coast.
It was Obama's first face-to-face meeting with BP CEO Tony Hayward and board chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg, despite his four trips to the Gulf Coast. They met as the White House demands that BP create a third-party administered compensation fund to pay out claims filed by residents and business owners in the region.
The six BP executives arrived at the White House around 10 a.m. and were still inside after noon.
I guess this is all 'above his pay grade' as well which gave me an idea this morning.
Everyone else gets paid for results in this world, how about Obama doesn't collect his check until the people being decimated by this 'never waste a crisis" spill can collect theirs.....which Obama uncovered his 'real' motive for the world to see last night.
I have a much easier time believing this so called 'oil spill' has been allowed to drag on to move Obama's agenda and nothing more than 911 being a set up. Obama doesn't have to do anything but 'act' like he's doing something which is what he's been doing in between golf rounds.
Pretending, in fact he's been doing that since he was elected.
You're gonna tell me we can't plug a pipe a mile down in the ocean? IF they really cared they would just drop a 50 ton block of cement over it and close it up for good, but they're not doing that because BP wants to 'save the plumbing' down there which cost millions and years of work and Obama doesn't mind because he's exploiting it for all it's worth. Period.
By the way...I sent BP a 'stop leak' proposal 2 weeks ago and just got this earlier this morning which I didn't post 'then' because I didn't want anyone stealing it just in case of the remote possibility they did want to use it :
Dear Raymond Felitto III,
We appreciate you submitting your Alternative Response Technology (ART) proposal to the Horizon Support Team. This note is to inform you that we do have your information on record and will be processing it as soon as possible. You will be informed of the disposition of your recommendation following technical review.
Thank you! Horizon Support Team
That either shows the volume of these they're receiving or they're moving at Obama's pace, because this thing is spilling this morning like I've never seen it, here's a pic of it at 12 noon..
These are what I'm seeing right this minute on this thing I kinda watch off and on throughout the day...
Much more oil gushing from well than thought
HOUSTON (AP) - Researchers studying the flow of oil from the blown-out well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico said Thursday that up to twice the amount of oil previously thought may have been spewing into the sea since an oil rig exploded nearly two months ago.
The new figures could mean anywhere from 42 million to more than 100million gallons of oil have already fouled the fragile waters,affecting people who live, work and play along the coast from Louisiana to Florida - and perhaps beyond.
It is the third - and perhaps not last - time the federal governmenthas had to increase its estimate of how much oil is gushing. Trying toclarify what has been a contentious and confusing issue, federal officials on Thursday gave a wide variety of estimates.
All of the new spill rate estimates are worse than earlier ones - andfar more costly for BP, which has seen its stock sink since the April20 explosion that killed 11 workers and triggered the spill.
Most of Thursday's estimates had more oil flowing in an hour than what officials once said was spilling in an entire day. continued
They're working away on this thing, as I've actually been watching it all night while reading and watching prime time Fox News and jamming a little bit, and I can see they're working hard on this thing pretty much constantly at least tonight they are.
It's like watching a video game which is kind if scary if they have some kid doing this, ya know? They could have the CEO Hayward's kid doing it as much as we're being told....lol
I actually took these screenshots right off the video, if this is the 'real thing' after all. It could be all a 'ruse' for all we really know.
This was surprising to me as I recall the Wacky Iraqi Saddam Hussein, ordered by GW hunted and killed cutting loose those oil wells during the gulf war that super fire fighter, the late, great, American legend Red Adair was called in as the 'only man on the planet' who could close those fiery wells up...
But I didn't realize the size of it all, as it makes BP look like a 'Slick Willie' DNA Slick on the oval office carpeting in comparison, but don't tell the people down in Louisiana it's 'no big deal'. Truthfully, I happen to believe it's a lot more than they've told us but, who knows and how? It's sure 'raging away as you can see in the sidebar leak cam >>>
Graphic and more stats on the spill from "oil spill timeline" found here.
These are some pics of this thing overnight, and it doesn't look like it's being captured too much to my eyes...
I heard this earlier, that these 'rent a cleanup' crews were bused in this morning, given matching T-shirts at about $12 a hour to make it appear for Obama this has been the program from the get go, which he wouldn't know the difference anyhow, being that he's so busy raising money at $17,000 a plate dinners.
And it looks like it's been confirmed now, which should confirm some more 'nails in the coffin' of the liberal movement right along with this administration, as the 'black gold' gusher in the gulf reaches biblical portions as Obama's watching NBA playoffs taking the weekend off.
What a guy the left elected for their very last EVER president.
But the 'real' reason I posted this is I wanted people to listen to the tone of who I believe to be Rick Sanchez but isn't identified during the video, who 'snidely' makes this Parish leader re state his story like 5 times and he still won't believe what he's hearing.
That's even conservative as the Exxon Spill was 250,000 gallons as and this one is a 'monstrous 17 million and counting' of untreated crude being dumped in the ocean, and remember they're spreading Tons and Tons of dispersant which has already made fisherman sick.
Literal tons of it. [video down below 1st]
Obama's Katrina? Karl Rove in the Wall Street journal says yes it 'tis...I don't know how helpful it is to blame him but it's much of his fault for ignoring the severity of it which he even admitted in his lengthy news conference I watched in it's entirety, as painful as it was.
Kevin McCarthy says this as well in this video
Greater estimates put it at 39 million gallons of crude oil not the conservative 17 or anywhere in between. You can check that with the widget you see to your right and steal it as well for your blog please. >>>>
To give you an idea, the barrels needed to clean up the Obama BP spill would hold 39 million gallons of crude, which would require 780,000 50 gallon drums at 3 feet across reaching 2,340,000 ft when divided by 5280 feet per mile comes to a line of barrels which would stretch 443 miles of 50 gallon drums.
That's beyond brutal and I'm the one who figured that by the way. Not hijacked elsewhere.
Not to mention as I we said, we now have fisherman already coming in ill from this shit that they're spreading like poison that could kill the entire ocean off for all they know.
So far, BP has told federal agencies that it has applied more than 400,000 gallons of a dispersant sold under the trade name Corexit and manufactured by Nalco Co., whose current leadership includes executives from BP and Exxon.
And another 805,000 gallons of Corexit are on order, the company said, with the possibility that hundreds of thousands of more gallons may be needed if the well continues spewing oil for weeks or months. [source NY Times]
They've never used this in this quantity and the real reason they're using it is to hide the spill and hope it somehow dissipates underwater and millions of dead fish don't come washing ashore.
That's the only plan other than to clean it up as it comes ashore and we've seem what that looks like from the Valzdez.
They've already hired 20,000 employees. There's Obama's job plan for you huh? It's going to take 5 times that easily to clean this mess up as it comes to shore and if it bankrupts BP nobody gets nothing and we get stuck with the bill so lawsuit filing folks need to keep that in mind as they rightfully I might add try to do exactly that.
However BP said this and they're right: "BP is very important to the American people and it's economy".
This sure is some ugly video seeing this oil gushing out of its broken pipe crevice on the ocean floor , even for all we "right wing radicals" who supposedly don't care about the environment just because we knew all along global warming was a scam. (we were all recently vindicated by truth of the longtime scorn from the left ....once again).
Back to this situation, one would think they'd have some type of cement/epoxy glue- like compound made just for this type of occurrence sitting on a shelf somewhere or in a "break glass in emergency" box to pipe down to the hole, forcing a smaller diameter tube into the bigger hole and force the cement to fill the hole around it.
They tried a similar thing yesterday but they were talking about plugging it with golf balls and other kinds of garbage which also didn't work yesterday along with the Cement Box Idea which failed due to ice formation as the box was lowered 5000 feet down on the ocean floor.
You WOULD THINK THEY WOULD have something like that already made just for this reason waiting to be used.
Well they will have it for the next time I'm certain if there is a next time with this lunatic fringe in Washington right now.
And now this news comes today they've located oil plumes, one of them apparently up to 10 miles long.
NEW YORK - Scientists are finding enormous oil
plumes in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, including one as large
as 10 miles long, 3 miles wide and 300 feet thick. The discovery is
fresh evidence that the leak from the broken undersea well could be
substantially worse than estimates that the government and BP have
given.
“There’s
a shocking amount of oil in the deep water, relative to what you see in
the surface water,” said Samantha Joye, a researcher at the University of Georgia who is involved in one of the first scientific missions to gather
details about what is happening in the gulf. “There’s a tremendous
amount of oil in multiple layers, three or four or five layers deep in
the water column.” more at the New York Times via MSNBC..

Not ridiculing their solution which obviously would be wonderful if this disaster were on a smaller scale, much smaller to be kind. They get an "A" for effort and many more are sending in their "answers to BP's Oil Screw Up" website hotline they got going online if you click the banner below I 'snagged' from their header.
I am personally aghast that these so called "brilliant minds" need you and me to come up with a trillion dollar golden clean up or plug up goose as if they're exhausted out of ideas already! We're all supposed to be "flyover rubes and rednecks".

This is a short version with "cozy relationship" quotes, I especially chuckled at the new Obama motto which is: "trust and verify"
I guess goes for campaign donations as well then Obama, just to make sure they're not getting 8 days to figure out WTF to do and then what lies you and they are gonna to tell. Especially the ones on "why it took 3 weeks for this press conference to take place", the first real public acknowledgment of a major screw up here?
He won't be giving anything back as we know he was also a huge beneficiary of Goldman Sachs cash too and yet he hasn't and said he won't give back a freaking dime.
I know one thing as sure as the sun will rise here and in loonland today and that is this:
Obama thinks he abides by a different set of rules since he was elected world king, at least in his eyes and he's been doing this from the campaign onward because the royal scum we used to call the Media has been sniffing his crotch since the man came on the national scene and haven't let up yet so he thinks he can get away with anything.
And so far he has but it won't last much longer as Americans very slow on the uptake are finally figuring out that this man DOES NOT and I repeat DOES NOT have Americans' best interests at heart.
Never did never will and this article proves that Obama was asleep at the wheel on this for 8 days because they gave him a $100,ooo and in return he gave BP a week's worth of breathing room.
Obama should be hauled up to Crapital Hill to answer to this shit&(*^&&.
While the BP oil geyser pumps millions of gallons of petroleum into the Gulf of Mexico, President Barack Obama and members of Congress may have to answer for the millions in campaign contributions they’ve taken from the oil and gas giant over the years.
BP and its employees have given more than $3.5 million to federal candidates over the past 20 years, with the largest chunk of their money going to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Donations come from a mix of employees and the company’s political action committees — $2.89 million flowed to campaigns from BP-related PACs and about $638,000 came from individuals.
On top of that, the oil giant has spent millions each year on lobbying — including $15.9 million last year alone — as it has tried to influence energy policy.
During his time in the Senate and while running for president, Obama received a total of $77,051 from the oil giant and is the top recipient of BP PAC and individual money over the past 20 years, according to financial disclosure records.
