If they succeed, prepare for Obummer’s victory lap. I'm getting my barf bags lined up now.

Barack Obama MIGHT give a prime-time speech tonight in which he announces plans to repeal Obamacare, but I’m not holding my breath.

Has anyone else noticed that gas prices have gone down a few cents nationally over the last few weeks?

[null and void]

Yes. Why is that????

They seated the transition spool early this morning, seating the cap should be pretty simple.

I pray they get the job done successfully today.

I am so amazed at what they are doing down there, I watched their livecast last evening. WOW, just WOW.

I tried to compare it to my own home repairs, ROFL. Honey, where is the hammer, where is the pliers. Lost????, oh no, you mean we have to go to Home Depot in the middle of this repair? ROFL.

They lowered their TOOL bucket down there and those arms knew just where to go get it among all those other cables, just wow.

Do you know of a link with more details? Thanks!

Just checked out the webcam and can't see any evidence of oil as I've seen in the past.Water looks crystal clear.Maybe it's the camera angle...or maybe they've succeeded.

I hope they succeed. Their success will owe nothing to Bambi.

What’s Obummers Tee Time if this succeeds...if it fails?

[UCANSEE2]

seating the cap should be pretty simple.

But that is just the first step in 'closing it off'.

They have a lot of 'testing' to do before they close up that new CAP, and once they do, it may still leak from somewhere else.

They are AHEAD of schedule, which is good. Let's hope it stays that way.

[null and void]

I hope they succeed.

Me too!

Their success will owe nothing to Bambi.

However, that won't stop him from taking full credit.

Nor will it stop the lap-dog media from heaping praise upon him.
