Who the f*** does he think he is?! I become more and more certain every day that this guy ain't going anywhere in 2013! Can you say "martial law?" Sure.

This has got to be the most insane idea I’ve ever heard.

Well, look at who is in charge.....any questions??
Skip to comments.Barack Obama sends nuclear experts to tackle BP's Gulf of Mexico oil leak

The US has sent a team of nuclear physicists to help BP plug the "catastrophic" flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico from its leaking Deepwater Horizon well, as the Obama administration becomes frustrated with the oil giant's inability to control the situation.
The five-man team – which includes a man who helped develop the first hydrogen bomb in the 1950s – is the brainchild of Steven Chu, President Obama's Energy Secretary.
He has charged the men with finding solutions to stop the flow of oil.
President Obama yesterday promised a "relentless" effort to resolve the problem as he criticised the "cozy relationship" BP and other oil companies have with US regulators in Washington.
He also denounced the attempts by executives from BP, Transocean and Haliburtion to blame each other during this week's congressional hearings into the rig disaster. "I will not tolerate more finger pointing or irresponsibility." Mr Obama said.
The five scientists visited BP's main crisis centre in Houston earlier this week, along with Mr Chu, and are to continue to work with the company's scientists and external advisers to reach an answer.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Mr Hayward said the five-hour meeting involved a "very deep dive" into the situation at hand, with "lots of nuclear physicists and all sorts of people coming up with some quite good ideas actually."
Pressed further about the meeting, he said they had "come up with one good idea" but declined to elaborate.
The five include 82-year-old Richard Garwin, who designed the first hydrogen bomb, and Tom Hunter, head of the US Department of Energy's Sandia National Labs.

Yeah, let’s use a nuke on it! It’ll turn the ocean floor bottom into glass and seal off! Yeah, yeah, yeah! That’s it!
Evidentally, the Soviets have used nukes on their various spills.
Gee, they might ignite the whole Gulf in the largest hydro-petro-nuclear explosion in history...a first for Obama.
Actually, The Russians have done just that for over 40 years. I think it’s worth considering.
This has got to be the most insane idea I’ve ever heard.
LOL!
Obama finally heard my pleas! Nuke it from orbit! It’s the only way to be sure
Why not send Rocket Scientists now that Zer0 has shut down NASA?
That’s like sending a surgeon to repair a car!
like most doctors are dangerous if they touvh tools!!!
Why? Nukes are not the bogey man. They have uses beside killing people. The Russians have done this for decades.
Man. I didn’t realize Godzilla had such an issue with cellulite.
A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and HMO
paperwork, and was burned out. Hoping to try another career where
skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic. He
went to the local technical college, signed up for evening classes,
attended diligently, and learned all he could. When the time of the
practical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks
and completed the exam with tremendous skill.
When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had
obtained a score of 150%. Fearing an error, he called the Instructor,
saying, “I don’t want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding
result, but I wonder if there is an error in the grade?”
The instructor said, “During the exam, you took the engine apart
perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine
back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark.”
After a pause, the instructor added, “I gave you an extra 50% because
you did it all through the muffler, which I’ve never seen done in my
entire career”.
Between the nuke and the spill, it will be a mega environmental issue - a win-win for obungler - an excuse to get rid of both oil and nukes.
Is this scrappleface?! NUKE scientists to deal with a deep sea OIL well problem?!
And Mr. “It’s Never My Fault” Narcisist warns OTHERS not to finger point?!
PS If someone thinks those nuke scientists are being sent to nuke the well, we already have that option! This is a waste of time even for that...
Nothing like having Chu send his pals some work. At least obama didn’t ask Maya Angelou to round up a bunch of poets for the job.
Another “Laser-like focus”. Look for things to get worse...
BP already has 500 experts from 100 different organizations working on the problem.
“”I will not tolerate more finger pointing or irresponsibility.” Mr Obama said.”
I would tell Obozo to go “suck an egg”.
I see how this is shaping up now.
The leak is about to be fixed by BP and the teams working on it, but Obozo has to ride in on his black horse, along with some pointy headed nuke scientist, so that he can claim that he has saved the world.
This is not the Onion reporting. Leadership like this is scary.
Unfortunately all the MLB ballplayers were busy this time of year.
Imagine the gulf glowing in the dark for weeks..the weird fish to be caught in the future, unexpected water fallout in the Florida panhandle..oh well.
Didn’t even know we still had Nuc experts anymore. Thought we killed that industry decades ago. What are they still doing hanging around?
I agree! We should! We’ve tested them atolls and such, why not here? I would love to see Obama consider this and really piss off his anti-nuke pals. Hahaha!!
Not gonna happen, though.
I DID NOT DONATE MONEY TO YOU TO BE SUBJECT TO THIS PHOTO OVER AND OVER.
Whoa, no-! There goes Tokeeyo-! Go- Go- Godzilla-!!!
-Taken from a novelty tune from a somewhat miss-spent youth-!
Well .. I still think it’s an insane idea.
I’ll be happy if it turns out to be a good thing.
Yikes, look what the nukes did to Obama.
A small tactical nuke will fracture the sea floor, melt much of it into glass, seal the well and it's perfectly tamped by a mile of water.
What are they afraid of, glowing jellyfish? They're already glowing at that depth.
Isn’t Chu the guy who thinks if everyone painted their roofs green, we could reduce global warming?
It would render the area off limits to fishing and drilling pretty much forever.
Maybe that’s really Michelle. The hips look suspiciously familar.
Correction: Not green, white

Typical liberal thinking. People are interchangable. “It’s all that science-stuff, anyway.” How did we ever allow our society to empower such fools?

Oboma hates dolphins.
LOL.
Is Bummer trying to antagonize the Greens or what?
When I first heard this idea of nuking the leak a couple of weeks ago here on FR I thought it sounded kind of crazy.
After thinking about it and watching everything else fail I’m starting to wonder if it might work, I’m pretty sure that we have nukes much smaller than what most people normally think of when you say NUKE IT.
Small “suitcase” or tactical type things, It is 50 mi. out and a mile down after all, I guess the question would be what will cause the least damage.
I’d be afraid of causing a tsunami even with a “little” nuke.
What happens when an underwater volcano erupts and orders of magnitude more oil shoots out of the earth? What will zero do then?
Another thing... I thought all this oil was supposed to be from "fossil fuels"? LOL there is no way all this oil came from dinosaurs.
One more thing... Why doesn't our president get up there and explain why he's the largest campaign recipient of bp dollars, and why they got a waiver to submit certain paperwork, and why they had no plan in the first place. The president talks all this shitake about how he won't tolerate finger pointing blah blah he needs to figure out how to look at himself and his own administration. You can boil down everything I just said into this one word "FUBO"
“It would render the area off limits to fishing and drilling pretty much forever.”
Well .. Geeeeee .. isn’t that pretty much exactly what this admin seems to want for all of America; but especially for these coastal regions that are primarily REPUBS ..??
Russia NEVER used nukes to stop an undersea leak. They nuked gas fields.
Obama is insane to nuke the Gulf of Mexico. He probably would do it for revenge for the Red States not voting for him and his socialist schemes.
Exactly, Obama wants to nuke the Gulf of Mexico to destroy the southern Red State marine and coastal economy.
Dawn ain’t gonna work on that.
This is too funny! All they will do is prevent some workable idea being implemented before they make up their minds. I am sure they are some smart people, but, one has to question their intelligence getting roped into this by DumBO.
Bingo!
Obama will nuke the Gulf of Mexico for the “greater good” while destroying the Red State marine and coastal economy. Yet he won’t nuke muzzies that use WMDs on US citizens.
