NEW ORLEANS – BP says oil has stopped leaking into the Gulf for the first time since April.

Obama cancelled a day of prayer? If that stopped people from praying I don’t think the “pray-ers” were that earnest to begin with.

This is only a test .. We ain’t out da woods yet.

Kudos to the engineers and ROV operators..

They earned their pay ,, I can’t imagine the hours staring at screens.. actually, Yes I can, having worked in field&technical support with computers for years. I just never got to use joysticks and stuff like the gadgets they built and ran at 5OOO feet depth. Wow.

Katrina pushed him over the edge. And maybe someone slipped something in his make-up.

Well, it's only been 84 days, and they did have help from 0bamao's regime since "Day 1".

It ain’t over.

And be assured, the Obama administration is pissed at BP for having made the announcement independently.

Zero didn't have a chance to come off the golf course and proudly announce, "We have capped the Gulf oil leak..."

Then, charmingly, turn to his daughter and say, "We got it done girl...for you."

BS, everyone knows with absolute certainty that this spill can never be stopped without nuclear bombs.

I read someone that obama and the Feds were against it. Can anyone confirm or deny?

If you ask me there is a bunch of Krap happening with the ROV Cams. The one showing the dramitc spewing has turned into some kind of radar immage and the other ROV that was showing a distant view has moved so far away you cant tell anything!

I would have expected that they would be up close looking at connections for leaks and actually showing no flow from the two pipes that were flowing full blast half an hour ago!

LOL! I hear you loud and clear. He one of the most girly, obnoxious idiots I’ve ever seen.

Balderdash - you can’t hug a leaking oil well with nuclear arms ;)

[advertising guy]

you quit listenin....he did steal Christmas

Katrina happened

[edcoil]

Need to remember the government said one thing, BP said many different - the government also stopped BP from doing many of the things it said it was going to do.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Yeah, but try plugging it with Whirled Peas. Can you visualize that?

[Raebie]

Scandi 2 is trained on the well. And sonar readings are critical at this point.

[advertising guy]

whirled peas ?

is that like peein in the shower

words sometimes confuse me

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Is Obama still down there with his thumb in the leak?

[Tijeras_Slim]

words sometimes confuse me

Then you've come to the right place.

[justa-hairyape]

Who has the plugg'd on this date pool sheet?

Actually, now the real danger begins. General Thad Allen was reported on the radio earlier as stating he did not know if they would keep the well shut in after the 48 hours test or open it up after the test and go for near 100 % collection. The political pressure might be too great to go for the collection route.
