Obama: No guarantee BP attempt will work

President Obama says other approaches might be viable if latest effort fails.

President Barack Obama warned Wednesday there are “no guarantees” BP's latest attempt to plug the leaking well in the Gulf of Mexico will work.

Obama, speaking in Fremont, Calif., said if the “top kill” plan does not work, there are other “approaches that might be viable."

The leaking well is becoming a larger political problem for the administration as oil continues to spill into the Gulf of Mexico from an oil rig explosion 37 days ago. Obama is headed to the gulf on Friday for a second time.

The “top kill” approach involves trying to plug the leak by pumping thousands of barrels of very dense mud into the well.

But Hussein is CERTAIN his "stimulus" will keep our unemployment below 8%...and he is CERTAIN his fascist health plan will lower costs, but it won't.

He is a failure.

Personally I think BP should very publicly offer to step out of the way and call Obozo’s bluff.

I may be wrong but as I understand the law says that oil companines have to be in charge of fixing this kind of thing.

Would be nice though....

Personally, I support the Wee Wee's idea to "Plug the damn hole,"
although I doubt this is exactly what the simp had in mind!

Obama: No guarantee BP attempt will work.

Apparently the way Obama’s taking vacations and golfing, there’s no guarantee Obama will attempt to work, either.

Maybe that’s to the country’s benefit, though.

I’m curious, do you know who originated the Obama Joker pics? I’ve seen several people claim to have created it.

No biggie, don’t search, just curious.

Why is it that the federal government has yet to do ONE THING to help?

“Why is it that the federal government has yet to do ONE THING to help?”

It’s above their pay grade. El Presidente would like to help, but he hasn’t quite got the authority to start having people shot. (Yet)
