After delay, BP restarts 'top kill' effort (Effort failing? Narcissist took credit too early!)
CNN ^ | May 27, 2010

Posted on 05/27/2010 6:23:59 PM PDT by JimWayne

The light-brown material that was seen spilling out of the well throughout Thursday was the previously pumped fluid from the "top kill" procedure mixed with oil, he said..."I probably should apologize to folks that we haven't been giving more data on that," Suttles said when asked why it took so long for BP to announce it had suspended the top kill.

They set Obama up the bomb, heh.

Do you think they waited until the O took credit for the success to announced it hadn't suceeded?

What are we seeing on the live feed? It looks like a bent and ruptured pipe, with what appears to be mostly drilling fluid ( “mud” ) spewing out of the ruptures, mixed with oil. I presume it is under pressure from pumping it into the drill hole at another opening.

I believe the idea is that it has to penetrate downward so that it’s accumulated weight can contain the upward pressure. If it can’t get deep enough it will not “take hold”, and this would be the feared mode of failure, as I understand it.

Does anybody know of any commentary explaining the live feed images? Earlier this evening they showed some ROV activity, with a remote arm actually turning a dial at one point. Then it moved around and gave a view of some other equipment, but it was all a complete enigma to me.

The idiot probably wanted it sealed with duct tape. Seriously, it was very clear that he wanted credit for any success while blaming BP for any problem. I don't think BP set him up.

And, every instance in which Obama can be humiliated and weakened is a GOOD DAY FOR AMERICA.

Amen to that. It will very likely take a nearly complete destruction of our economy, investments, energy, terrorist attacks, open revolt in the streets, before the sheeple finally rise up and throw the socialist RAT bastard demoRATs AND 0bozo the commie pig usurper, out of office and straight into prison or the gallows for high crimes & treason against the U.S.

Mac daddy will NEVER accept responsibility for ANY failures.

There will soon be a revision, change, to what worthless words came out of his mouth when his lips were moving.

Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian at Rice University, agreed, saying, "It's unacceptable to trust BP."

And the reason for seeking the opinion of a "presidential historian" on something like this is.....why? Why not just ask the butcher at the local supermarket what he thinks?

"(Effort failing? Narcissist took credit too early!)"

If I was the CEO of BP the thought would definitely cross my mind to hoist Obammy on his own petard! (even if the Top Kill was working 100% but then of course monetary concerns would get the better of me...)
