In There’s Just No Pleasing Some Robber Barons, Robert Scheer talks about the displeasure at some of the former corporate backers of Obama at his “unfriendliness” to corporate America.

I suppose I could have made a separate blog post titled “There’s Just No Pleasing Some Left Wingnuts” with a link to the article When Will We Take Responsibility for the Obama Presidency’s Failings? No one is proposing taking actual responsibility. That would be too much like work.

In the article U.S. Delays Test of Device That Could Seal Gulf Well there are two points of view expressed.

Kent Wells, a senior BP vice president, said scientists from the industry and government were reviewing the test procedures. “This test is so important that a decision was made to give them another 24 hours,” he said at a Wednesday morning briefing in Houston. “We don’t want to end up with a test with inconclusive results.”

That is the management point of view from the inappropriately named BP vice president, Kent Wells. Would you delay a test because it might be inconclusive?

Here is the more believable story from way down the chain of command closer to the actual work being done

A technician involved in the effort said that at the center of the debate was the issue of whether shutting in the well was worth the risk. A pressure buildup might damage the well bore, making it more difficult to eventually seal the well through the relief well.

Maybe the technician should be dubbed Mr. Wells.
