Oil Spill Finished or Merely on Hold?

For the past three months, we as a nation, have watched and been bombarded with news stories on how BP is destroying our shores. Well, waking up today I once again was flooded with oily news however for once it was for the good. According to a specific article in the New York Times, the leak was finally controlled yesterday at 2:25 pm and since then there haven’t been any new openings. With this massive crisis over, I was curious to see how Obama is reacting given his “heavy” involvement (Probably just an act to show he cares due Bush’s failure at controlling Katrina and the reprimanding that came from it). The article states that Obama is planning to go back down to the area in the next couple weeks but until then we should “caution against concluding that the corner had been turned”. Kent Wells, the Vice President of BP, goes to state the many solutions they have in the works that will, I’m sure, be run by President Obama when he visits. He too however makes clear that he “doesn’t want to create a false sense of excitement.” For now the common idea is merely to sit and wait and pray that this lid holds while they search for a more permanent solution and hope the millions of dollars in continuous destruction that was caused from carelessness is finally spiraling to an end!
