Leak stoppage: job one
The Spokesman-Review
It seems to me that stopping this oil from leaking steadily into the Gulf of Mexico and threatening an ever-enlarging portion of our planet far exceeds in importance questions of blame, payment, political posturing and even cleanup and containment.
The only words we need to hear now from any governmental, corporate or media authorities are “the leak is stopped.” We will have more than ample time to address all the subsidiary issues after the primary danger is curtailed.

Why can’t we do both at the same time?

Looks like they can not stop the spill Jim. Its gonna take awhile, so I would recomend containment and clean up. There does seem to be some pesky law about us getting help from others that steps on some Unions toes but we can circumvent that law if Obama wants to go at it with his Union buddies. I would not hold my breath waiting for Obama to do any more than he needs to. He does seem quite anxious to use this spill as fuel to get his Cap and Trade bill passed though. The man is a real gem. I believe two terms for the man is out of the question, what do you think??
