Gulf Oil Leak Plugged?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the no-harm-done-right dept.

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.'"

    Bush isn't my boy and did not receive my vote in 2000 or 2004.

    With 9/11 being a conspiracy (Bush knew about/planned it), and Katrina's handling being a conspiracy theory (Bush blew up the levies)... Where are all the conspiracy theorists on this one? Did Obama cause the leak so that he can push against the oil companies and car companies even more?

    I'm not supporting such a theory, just curious why such theories haven't been pushed by those same people pushing the former theories.
