Can We Save the Wildlife from the BP oilspill?

Help Save the Wildlife from the BP oilspill - WASHINGTON D.C. (TheStreet) -- BP(BP) is not ready to call the top kill a success, but there were consecutive indications on Thursday and Friday that the top kill was showing some signs of effectiveness in slowing the oil spill. At the same time, though, there were indications that the top kill was finding a worthy foe in the pressure of oil and gas coming out of the BP well.
Whether the BP top kill will ultimately slow the oil leaking from the Gulf of Mexico long enough to cement the well permanently remains an open question, and BP said on Friday that it could be two days before it has the answer.
Late on Thursday, the top kill had to be abandoned temporarily when too much of the heavy drilling mud that had seemed effective earlier in the day was overcome by the pressure coming out of the leaking well, and too much of the mud was forced back into the Gulf waters.
Like BP oil spill deja vu, the New York Times reported late on Friday that BP was again forced to suspend the top kill, not an encouraging sign on the surface or 5,000 feet below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico.
President Obama spoke about the BP oil spill for the second consecutive day on Friday, after completing his "on the ground" in the Gulf region photo op, kneeling on a Louisiana beach to inspect a tar ball.
The president echoed similar themes from Thursday's White House press conference, adding a gloss that spoke specifically to the concerns and harm already done to the people of the Gulf Coast region, and the "assault on our shores, our people, our regional economies and communities. People's livelihoods are washing up on the beach," the president said, as the call of seabirds hovered above his words.
In speaking about BP's ongoing top kill effort, Obama phrased his words in the terms of the top kill that "the federal government authorized BP to use" a hint of the government's effort to show who really is wearing the pants in the oil spill effort as criticism lingers that the federal government had ceded too much control to BP.
The president noted that the cleanup effort is the largest ever in the nation's history, and that the federal government had advanced equipment in the Gulf on day one after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, hundreds of vessels stationed in the Gulf within days of the oil spill crisis worsening, 20,000 people working around the clock, and more than three million cubic feet of boom in place, with 100, 000 more cubic feet of boom on the way. Yet in referring to the oil spill cleanup effort as the largest-ever, President Obama's words also served as a reminder that it is the largest cleanup effort ever because it is the largest oil spill ever in the country's history.

British Petroleum can rot hell as well as the rest of the greed driven corporations of this earth. Mother Earth will payback ten fold for raping the shit out of her.

Look at the bright side, you don't need to buy oil at the station. Just get a bucket and get some from the ocean.

I see allot of containment booms but where are the absorption booms like I made when I worked for MaxSorb, a handful of skimmers and a few boom tugs won' t do it. I worked for a company that made oil clean up booms, our R & D dept. determined that booms made stuffed full of things like hair, feathers, straw, dry weeds & lawn clippings all are cheap effective ways to clean up oil spills, but we need to dump a few hundred tons of HYDRAULIC CEMENT on that WELL HEAD to put a BUTT PLUG on it. DUH!

forget us helping them, put BP for a death sentance, pice of shits they can clean up there own mess.

Put The People Responsible In Prison For Two Lifes Terms This Is Bullshit

[dave777blaster]

where do you put them after you rescue them their environment is ruined for 200 years

[MirraSyren]

Obama has only suggested that we still eat them, & that they're still tasty. 

[UnoRaza]

Not if we don't use the tools correctly!

Are your booms being properly installed and maintained?
