>HI,
>I find it hard to believe that BP's engineers haven't got a worse case backup scenario for this type of blow out, that could be implemented within a couple of days or why the wellhead didn't have a predrilled blowout header that could be final drilled and the wellhead plugged in about a week.

>There's little doubt that the CEO will resign or be forced out, after this is over. Obama has NO BUSINESS making these types of quotes - it actually harms the very company that is the only one that can fix this mess (and also has adversely affected the overall market). It is bad, incompetent leadership from our so-called president.

But Bush was worse!!@#!!!
