    The well can't be capped due to the riser being compromised below the sea floor and the BOP is leaning meaning the riser is in danger of breaking below the sea floor if it falls over. Now eveyrbody stop and think, WHO really caused this mess?? For those who can't thank, it was our great U.S. Government and the MMS department and inspectors who are bought and paid for by Big Oil. It isn't just Obama and his group, it goes WAY back. With this country split by political parties nothing will ever change so everyone continue on with you lives like nothing has happened.
