"BP makes little headway in battle with spill; Obama tours the Gulf Coast ‘Top kill’ effort not ruled out" by Clifford Krauss and Jackie Calmes, New York Times | May 29, 2010
HOUSTON —
Amid mixed messages about problems and progress, the effort — called a “top kill’’ — continued for a third day, with engineers describing a painstaking process of trying to plug the hole, using different weights of mud and sizes of debris like golf balls and tires, and then watching and waiting. They cannot use brute force because they risk making the leak worse if they damage the pipes leading down to the well.
Despite an apparent lack of progress, officials said they would continue with the process for another 48 hours, into tomorrow, before giving up and considering other options, including another containment dome to try to capture the oil.
Try COMPLETE FAILURE, concealing MSM!!!
President Obama, who visited the Gulf Coast yesterday, spoke broadly about the government’s response to the environmental disaster, saying that “not every judgment we make will be right the first time out.’’
I saw his news conference on CNN and the guy was totally unimpressive.

He spent two hours and met only with official authorities, huh?
It's the third term of George Bush, folks.
Nor were there perfect answers yesterday about the status of the top kill effort. For the second day, public statements early in the day from BP and government officials seemed to suggest progress. Only later in the day did they acknowledge that the effort was no closer to succeeding than when they started....
That's when I stopped reading the NYT report.
What would be the point?
