Has Anyone Noticed that the “Damn Hole” Is Still Not Plugged?

Breitbart's Big Government ^

The other day President Obama gave BP an ultimatum, he met with BP executives for the first time, and squeezed $20 billion from the company. He also made a prime-time bomb of a speech. Moreover, in that short period, Tony Hayward has been demoted, a part-time czar has been appointed, and it is now reported that claimants are being turned away.

The success the Obama administration had in getting the oil spill live feeds off the front pages of websites and cable news stations and cause the change in the narrative from millions of gallons of oil gushing to a seemingly more proactive, authoritative, and administrative role in managing the devastating situation is remarkable. At last, PR success.

There is, however, a major problem with all of this: the oil is still gushing from the well and now there are large amounts of methane causing dead zones. The “damn hole” is not plugged.

If Dubya (or ANY Republican) were President, there would be daily protests and full newscasts castigating him for the ineptitude we're seeing from Oilbama. The Gulf is going to be dead for a generation just so Ø can push for Crap & Tax. Crickets from the sycophant LMSM.

plug the damned hole Barry!

[moose-matson]

I don’t think that anybody has missed the fact that the hole is still gushing.

[Republic of Texas]

It won’t be either until the relief wells are done.

[steve86]

Your’re right about the blind eye toward the Messiah. Regarding the well, however, there is no one place where it can be plugged successfully, except possibly at the very bottom of the well bore (as the relief wells are aspiring to do).

[anniegetyourgun]

Obama’s solution to the gusher? Legislation.

[Republic of Texas]

There is a 9000 sq mile area at the mouth of the Mississippi that is already a dead zone from agriculture run-off. Been there for years, but Big Ag has been paying their bribes on time for years, so we don’t hear about it. Also dead ocean isn’t quite the photo-op that oil covered animals make.

and it is now reported that claimants are being turned away.

As reported here on F.R. many Louisiana fishermen were to be reimbursed for lost income, all they had to do was show their last year's form 1040 and B.P. would pay them.

Duuh, what's a 1040?

[waus]

In all of this administration’s wisdom, I’m shocked that they haven’t put a moratorium on the drilling of relief wells. /s

Has Anyone Noticed that the “Damn Hole” Is Still Not Plugged?

Yep. Noticed it Tuesday mouthing off on national TV. When will he ever shut up?

[silverleaf]

the plan to “plug the hole” got left out of the obama speech

but hey, we’ll have more windmills in the next 20 years

[shadeaud]

This just in Barrrrrrry just plugged the hole (with his putter and a double bogey)

[silverleaf]

good point- a lot of these guys are “independent contractors”, work for cash and underreport their income or skip taxes completely

and got upset with BP for expecting them to provide proof of income before reimbursement

Waaaaa

Now they can deal with zerO’s pay czar Feinberg

[Glenn]

Okay, it is hearsay. One of my oldest and most trusted friends has a best friend who is number three in the chain of command on this whole deal on the BP side in LA. He tells me that the politicians are in every tiny crack and crumble of the recovery and are nothing but a pain in the ass. Two-faced. Money grubbing. Looking for a deal wherever they can find it. Their main goal is to humiliate BP. It's shameful, in my opinion.

[Matchett-PI]

Neither is this hole.

And let's not talk about the black hole (in outer space) ... or the media "spokesholes". So many holes.... so little time.

[Matchett-PI]

"This just in Barrrrrrry just plugged the hole (with his putter and a double bogey)"

Well, I'll be d*mned!

[Allegra]

I don’t think that anybody has missed the fact that the hole is still gushing.

Especially those on the Gulf Coast. :(

[TruthHound]

The white-eyed sycophant media's version of "plugging the damned hole":

[stevecmd]

A leeson for all at FR. The MSM is NOT on deathwatch. They are alive powerful and hard at work. They are a long way from death!

[mowowie]

Good one!
