Obama's Gulf War –
Stop Pumping! Start Drilling!
But only relief wells

It's time to get rid of old blowout preventers
That Big Oil's been treating as mere bagatelles,
Knowing they're constantly risking huge failures,
When what they need most are more relief wells.

If same-season relief wells were a must in the Gulf,
We still would be waiting till August to stop
BP's catastrophic Macondo oil gusher
Where we've seen their efforts to make it stop flop.

Relief wells on standby are the only sure cure
For rapacious oil companies greedy for oil.
Who cares if they cry that they can't afford them?
Keep the oil underground and not on our soil.
