Minutes after Obama came out and called for punishment of those responsible for the 'death and destruction' in the gulf BP, which was in the middle of cutting the broken riser pipe, stopped. One ROV was taken back to the surface, the cutting claw was removed from the broken riser pipe and now all camera views show no activity.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

[Genoa]

Wow, how about letting them get the dang thing stopped first? Or will the feds now be taking over?

[pgkdan]

Send the FBI in and arreest all of BP’s top brass and every engineer working on the project. That should get the leak solved in no time! /sarcasm

What dolts! I despise this administration more every day. It seems like I couldn’t despise them more than I do right now but I know it will be worse tomorrow!

[qwertypie]

BP should just walk away and publicly announce that it’s Obama’s baby now. See how the politics of that one works out.

[DoughtyOne]

Simply brilliant. Now nothing is being done to stop the leak.

Holder, a box of rocks has more common sense than you and Obama combined.

[Steamburg]

I am sure a leader would have been working with, not against BP from day 1 of this disaster. There will be years to litigate. Grandstanding is the only language the petty dictators seem to have mastered. The agitator in chief has shown that that most any real job is above the pay grade of an illegitimate community organizer no matter what color he may be.

BPs Law firm said. Stop now and stfu.

Obama destroys the entire coatline of the Gulf of Mexico.

This level of incompetence can’t be a coincidence.

[Sacajaweau]

The only thing I can see as being illegal is collusion between the govt's reps and someone at BP.

Since the govt chick was fired...I'd call her "The Woman Who Knew Too Much"...

A bus won't work...she's going to Marcy Park.

[Tijeras_Slim]

This is very enlightened... real Stalinists would just declare BP personell as “wreckers” and “counter revolutionaries” and shoot them.

[PGR88]

Obama has given the green-light to have DOJ, the States, and liability lawyers bankrupt and dismember BP

[SWAMPSNIPER]

The Gulf isn’t where the “criminal probes” are needed!

Huh? I thought Holder was all tied up with the investigations of the Philly Black Panthers, the Sestak bribes, NYC terror trials, Islamic terrorism and jaywalkers?

[kidd]

The Obama administation has only two tools in their governing toolbox:

1. Spend more on government programs.
2. Take things to court.

Cooperation with private industry is not in the toolbox.
Using the courts to make a private industry into a government program is in the toolbox.

[jazusamo]

Obama and his lap dog Holder were under pressure to do something and it looks like they now have. Total idiots!

[cripplecreek]

According to the live feed they’re doing some cutting right now.

[skeeter]

Cool. We can have an exhaustive investigation starting with why oil companies are forced to drill in deep water where its nearly impossible to stop leaks and continue trough to the safety award given the very rig that exploded by the Obama Administration last year.

[Nachum]

The list, ping

[SunTzuWu]

BP wants to get this thing under control. It’s BP’s money that’s flowing out of that pipe. As for stopping cutting, well they didn’t stop. They just shifted position. They are cutting right now. Nothing to do with the teleprompter in chief.

[sappy]

I thought the Obama administration has been in cotrol since day one. At least that’s what Obama said when he thought top kill was workign simultaneously with his statement. So, wouldn’t the US GOvt be investigating itself?

[griswold3]

You don’t think that government interfered in the process, do you?
This ‘Black Wave’ -dead zone in the Gulf, (like the ‘Black Blizzard’ of the Great Depression dust bowl) will be laid at the feet of incompetent bureaucrats.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

BP Criminal Probe? 

How about "Government to launch criminal probe into Black Panther voter intimidation"!
