Ok today they are going to try and block the pipe once again so lets hope this time it works. We can sit around and have a little fun playing the blame game but I think we all want this this thing shut down.

latest news is that BP will wait at least a few more days as they continue to run tests.....

Well they have to get the pressure measurements right, we don't want it to get worse.

I love how Jindal is suddenly critical of less government, when he was on the drill, baby, drill bandwagon and too much government about a year ago. Stunning:)

How is there a blame game? BP is responsible, jesus christ isnt their oil been gushing out destroying wildlife, the environment, people's way of life for 3 weeks now? There is more on evidence coming out each week that this piece of sh8t company cut corners and safety regs to save a dollar and ended up killing their own employees...this is a garbage company, people should seriously think to boycott any BP logos and after this incredible bullsh8t event is over, Id say we bring charges and consider jailtime for the responsible parties....since this began, BP response to get this under control has been unacceptable and pathetic...

Exactly, the notion that this is anyone's fault except BP is plain old stupid.

I have allready said its all on BP. I'm talking about the non response from our goverment and their lack of doing anything. That was a poorly worded sentence,

Firstdown, what CAN the government do that they haven't already done? I mean, specifically...

And since I know when you say government, you really mean Obama. So he's making his second visit to the region to get a firsthand account of the damage. Not that he really needs to, but this is to simply appease his critics.

But what would you like to see him DO to alleviate this disaster?
