"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

More Lies on the Gulf Oil Disaster -- BP had stopped pumping mud Wednesday night

We are learning in the middle of the night that BP stopped pumping the drilling mud on Wednesday night and did not resume pumping until Thursday night. So much for the Coast Guard spokesman that said oil well was getting under control. Mud and oil were coming out of the well so they stopped drilling for 24 hours but it is just coming out tonight.

That means that this President during his Press Conference and his Administration along with BP led everyone to believe the pumping was going very well today when they were not pumping. With the NY Times writing this article it is beginning to show that the media is waking up to this President as his word is worth ZERO. That press conference is turning out to be a fraud when it comes to the BP Gulf Oil Disaster. Before it is done we will most likely learn that the whole press conference was a fraud. Can Obama tell the truth or is he going to blame others for this as well?

BP Resumes Work to Plug Oil Leak After Facing SetbackBy CLIFFORD KRAUSS and JOHN M. BRODER

HOUSTON — BP on Thursday night restarted its most ambitious effort yet to plug the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, trying to revive hopes that it might cap the well with a “top kill” technique that involved pumping heavy drilling liquids to counteract the pressure of the gushing oil.

BP officials, who along with government officials created the impression early in the day that the strategy was working, disclosed later that they had stopped pumping the night before when engineers saw that too much of the drilling fluid was escaping along with the oil.

It was the latest setback in the effort to shut off the leaking oil, which federal officials said was pouring into the gulf at a far higher rate than original estimates suggested.

If the new estimates are accurate, the spill would be far bigger than the Exxon Valdez disaster in 1989 and the worst in United States history.
