To Someone with a Brain:

Stopping the oil flow needs to be the first thing that BP is concerned with.  It looks like BP only wants to capture the oil, but not stop the flow into the Gulf.  I think that is bullshit.  Fixing the leak doesn't seem that complicated in my opinion.  One of my companies manufactures GloBaits, which is a photoluminescent fishing lure that is non-toxic and eco-friendly.  The greed of BP is dramatically impacting not only my business, but thousands of other businesses in the Gulf area.

As far as our government and that incompetent man we call a president, stop screwing around with red tape and politics and fix the problem.  There are other countries that are ready to respond and assist with clean-up and recovery, but they are waiting for the go-ahead from BP and the Obama administration.  President Obama is too young and inexperienced and has never dealt with a major disaster.  He is more concerned with worrying about who is paying for this issue and making sure they pull the proper permits than actually fixing it.  He is worrying about attending parties, speaking at graduations and other bullshit.  He should get his ass down there and participate in the clean-up efforts himself and prove to the American public that he gives a shit.  A true leader or captain goes down with his ship.  He stays and tries to fix the issue until there is nothing left to fix.  How many parties other crap has he been involved in during the last 54 days that have absolutely nothing to do with the oil spill?  In my opinion, his priorities are so backwards that he should be impeached over his behavior.  Almost makes you wonder if BP is lining his pockets as well.  BP is spending millions on advertising to convince us that they care.  Start showing it.  Get the flow stopped.  Stopped now!

Watching and listening to the news, it seems everyone is only worried about what BP will allow.  F#%k BP.  It is our resources being affected, our eco-system being destroyed, and our citizens being put out of work.  Why should we give a shit about another country's corporation and what they will allow?  Also, I am wondering where FEMA is in all of this.  54 days and we still haven't seen them lift a finger to help!  If this isn’t a disaster, what is?  They should be out there cleaning birds and other wildlife with everyone else.  They should be filling sandbags and building berms.  I want to know which idiot calls this a 'spill.'  It is blatantly obvious that this is free flowing oil and a major problem for the United States and its citizens.  (I don't want to get into the semantics or the politics of how deep in the shit our government is burying this country over bullshit red tape and people's feelings.)

I am submitting three ideas to stop the flow of oil.  As far as the well itself, BP should re-drill the damn thing and protect our coastal resources.  Our government should have the balls to stand up to them and tell them to quit trying to capture the flow of oil, regardless of what the world's opinion is about that.  Watching the flow videos, it is very obvious that there is a flange directly under the cut pipe.  Fix #1 - Disconnect the flange.  Connect new flange with cut-off valve.  During the process of re-connecting, leave the valve open.  That will allow the pressure of the main pipe to be released to safely connect the new flange.  Upon completion of fastening new flange in place, close the valve and stop the flow of oil.  If BP wants to recover that well, connect to the new shut-off valve and re-pipe up to the new rig.  Fix #2 - Insert into cut end, 18" pipe approximately 6 feet deep wrapped in air bags or a baffling system.  Fill air bags.  This will cause the air bags and new pipe to wedge in place and 'cork' the oil.  At the end of that pipe, have a shut-off valve on the high side.  Turn off valve.  Again, the flow of oil would be stopped.  Again, if BP wants to recover oil from that well, connect to shut-off valve and freely pump oil to surface.  Fix #3 – Pump concrete into the top of the broken pipe at high pressure until flow has stopped.  Whether it is fifty yards of concrete or fifty million yards of concrete, put a permanent plug in that pipe.

We, as citizens, need to ensure that this flow of oil is stopped.  If that means taking it out of our government's hands and doing it ourselves, so be it.  I am all for cleaning up the mess, but trying to clean something up as the flow continues is a waste of time and resources.  Everyone cried about helping after Katrina.  Everyone waved their arms and jumped up and down - from Hollywood to left-wing activists.  Where are those people today?  No one has the balls to say it how it is.  F#%k BP and f#%k Obama.  Fix the f#%king problem while there is still something left to save.  Drilling relief wells that won't be ready for months will not fix the problem.  They will slow the flow of oil down, but there will still be a discharge into our environment.

As far as those that are blaming President Bush and his administration for this problem, shove your heads back in your ass.  It was Clinton's policies in the first place.  And if those policies were so bad and everyone was so concerned, why didn't Obama change those policies when he took over the White House?  Instead of bitching about healthcare, he could have done something about safeguarding our country and our national resources.  During the Katrina thing, everyone threw Bush and FEMA under the bus and criticized their every move.  They are still criticized to this day because of their actions during that event.  No one is criticizing Obama and FEMA for the lack of action on their parts to fix the problem in the Gulf.  I wonder why.  Is it too politically incorrect?  Is everyone to scared to offend a black president and be considered racist?  Being too young, inexperienced, naïve, and riding an ego trip has nothing to do with skin color.  It has to do with his incompetence.

When disaster strikes, we should move forward, by addressing the issues and repairing the problems first.  Worry about who is paying the bills later.  President Obama – do your job or get out and let someone who has the ability to do it properly do it.
