Did you see our President, today, say the cap is holding?
Apparently no one told him it’s not attached to anything.
I did not see it, but I am not suprised. He’s not too good with facts or physical laws and stuff like that. Now if you asked him about unicorns or communist successes he’d be able to talk all day.

Obama fired a seething warning to BP Friday, warning the oil giant must not go cheap on Gulf of Mexico disaster victims if it pays billions of dollars in share dividends.
Obama, who has been criticized for not showing enough emotion over the worst environmental disaster in US history, showed flashes of obvious anger as he hammered BP, which operated the Deepwater Horizon rig which exploded in April.
Obama said ... “The fact BP can pay a 10.5 billion dollar dividend payment is indicative of how much money these folks have been making.”
BP has yet to say whether it will pay its normal dividend to share holders but is coming under increasing political pressure in the United States to skip the payment.

The President made his third trip to the Louisiana coast Friday since the April 20 offshore rig explosion that killed 11 workers and ignited the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
Obama sounded upbeat, citing progress in BP’s effort to combat the spill it started, but cautioned it’s “way too early to be optimistic.”
The President, however, ripped the British oil giant for blowing cash on advertising and dividends for shareholders.
“What I don’t want to hear is when they’re spending that kind of money on their shareholders and spending that kind of money on TV advertising that they’re nickeling and diming fishermen or small businesses here in the Gulf who are having a hard time,” he said.
