Title: Obama says US government in charge, not BP

“Associated Press Tags : Barack Obama, oil spill, BP Posted: Fri May 28 2010, 10:16 hrs Washington:

President Barack Obama fought back critics of his administration’s handling of the spewing oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, declaring today they “don’t know the facts”.

He emphasised that his government, not oil company BP, is in charge.

Calling the unprecedented spill a “tremendous catastrophe,” Obama also said that the US government does not have the technology to deal with the damaged oil well nearly a mile (1.6 kilometers) below the surface, meaning that Washington must rely on BP — under federal direction – to plug the spewing well.

Yes, indeed. They tried the top kill and when they stopped pumping the oil gushed out with all the mud they had pumped in, so they tried again and pumped more and failed again. Now they decided that “top kill” wont work.

To make matters worse, the dispersant used by BP seems toxic and could evaporate into toxic clouds and fall as rain on land possibly poisoning land life forms (insects, plants, people?)
