Gulf Oil Leak Plugged?

RobHart writes "The LA Times is reporting that the Gulf oil leak appears to have been plugged by the 'top kill.' 'Thad Allen, who is coordinating the government response, says the well still has low pressure, but cement will be used to cap the well permanently as soon as the pressure hits zero.'"

  1. Re:Victory for Obama! by pellik · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    What is it with you people chalking everything up to Obama? He neither created this disaster nor solved it. And unless I'm mistaken, he has yet to propose banning all offshore drilling. If you don't like the president and feel the need to tell everyone so, then find a meaningful on-topic way to criticize him for something he has actually done. This would be far more effective then spamming the internet with poorly drawn straw-man arguments.
