Obama's Gulf War –
Carol Browner's Blinders
Snubbing Sir Isaac Newton

That she speaks for Obama as well as Big Oil?
That imports can soon be a thing of the past
If deepwater drilling's allowed to continue
And we don't mind spill residues tending to last?

Four hundred and fifty plus seventy-five
Tons tilting precariously more than before.
When will it topple? That little contraption?
That is a risk she prefers to ignore.

Obviously Kent Wells and BP do, too.
But forgetting the fact it continues to leak,
They don't hesitate to call the well "static",
"A significant milestone" on their way up the creek.

Stuff it with mud and maybe the annulus –
Hope that the flex joint doesn't come loose –
Gamble that Halliburton's cement holds –
Convert the relisf wells so both wells produce.

Then when her "contraption" finally tips over,
Blame the disaster on Browner et al.
And complain to Obama she believed Isaac Newton,
Which put a huge crimp in BP's morale.
