I feel a lil better knowing we aren't just trusting BP do clean this mess up.

1. So true... think outside the box baby... outside the box....

Now if he'd tell Rahm and Geithner to hit the road, bring the troops home, start a massive jobs program and end the War On Drugs....

Man... we'd be firing on all 8 cylinders.... lol

4. No, he'll do what he thinks is right. You can try to run in 2012

2. When Obama decides to kick ass, he really does.

This is one of those times, and I wish he'd do it more often.

8. The problem is, he is just one leg in an ocean full of asses.

3. I wouldn't have expected anything less.

5. That's so freaking stupid

The oil spill isn't anywhere near Mars.

[Ineeda]

6. And let's hope he bills the bastards

a brazillion dollars for the scientists' services.

7. I think I saw this in a movie

Hope it works.

9. A Think Tank's Think Tank

Good idea. I hope they come up with something very quickly. Very, very quickly.

10. This is the first bit of news that makes me feel hopeful

Put the best minds on the planet on this. That's good leadership!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

12. yes, exactly

When I saw he called in a Mars researcher, I'm not kidding, my first thought was, "THAT is brilliant"!!

The ocean floor is as alien as Mars. That was very clever thinking, truly calling in the heavy artillery--in the best possible way.

11. At least one of these scientists gives me pause

Katz, 59 wrote articles that he has labeled as “thought- provoking” on his personal website, including, “Don’t Become a Scientist,” “In Defense of Homophobia” (http://wuphys.wustl.edu/~katz/defense.html) and “Why Terrorism is Important.”

“The best physicists have been very broad people,” he said.

doesn't sound so broadminded to me

Diversity is the Last Refuge of a Scoundrel http://wuphys.wustl.edu/~katz/diversity.html


:wtf:

15. Jonathan I. Katz: I am a homophobe, and proud.

He should feel right at home with this Administration!

[IndianaGreen]

13. Use a nuke to stop the gusher? Now that's just dandy!

Next thing you will see is Obama telling us that gamma rays are good for us.

[HughMoran]

14. Yeah, that is cool

BP and their hair-brained schemes aren't working out to well.
