Thank Goodness, Obama Can Finally Rest– The Well Is Dead
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, September 19, 2010, 10:56 AM
Barack Obama announced back on May 14, 2010 that,
“I will not rest until the leak has stopped.“
… Except, of course, for the ball games, golf, vacations, parties, etc.
He shares your anger, Louisiana. Remember that.Thank
Thank goodness they finally capped the well today.
Obama can finally rest.
4 months and over 4 vacations later, the oil well is officially capped.
The AP reported:
The well is dead — finally.
A permanent cement plug sealed BP’s well nearly 2.5 miles below the sea floor in the Gulf of Mexico, five agonizing months after an explosion sank a drilling rig and led to the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the federal government’s point man on the disaster, said Sunday BP’s well “is effectively dead” and posed no further threat to the Gulf. Allen said a pressure test to ensure the cement plug would hold was completed at 5:54 a.m. CDT.
The gusher was contained in mid-July after a temporary cap was successfully fitted atop the well. Mud and cement were later pushed down through the top of the well, allowing the cap to be removed.
But the well could not be declared dead until a relief well was drilled so that the ruptured well could be sealed from the bottom, ensuring it never causes a problem again. The relief well intersected the blown-out well Thursday, and crews started pumping in the cement on Friday.
The April 20 blast killed 11 workers, and 206 million gallons of oil spewed.

Hmmm, maybe that’s why he finally went to church for the first time since Easter.

Love what Drudge pointed out about the church service:
“The service sheet doesn’t indicate what the sermon is on but the gospel is Luke 16:1-13, which ends ‘You cannot serve God and wealth.’ ”
Sounds like exactly what he’d want to go hear! If you want money, if you have money, you’re bad! Too bad he’s Mr. Hypocrite, raking in dough on his books and presidential salary.
If wealth is bad, and he wants to ‘level the playing field’, then he must want to bring everyone down to the level of the lowest of the low… and he sure is succeeding so far.

Barry was adopted by Lolo Sotero when his mom remarried and he was a little boy and taken back to Indonesia to go to school.
How is he constitutionally acceptable to be president?

Americans aren’t going to rest until we get you out of power either.

On to the next manufactured crisis for an excuse to impose cap & trade…..which will send our economy into cardiac arrest…..’Progressing’ us into an even bigger crisis…
A never ending death spiral into a socialist hell.

There is still a moratorium on drilling in the gulf–rigs are leaving — Soros is happy.
