Surprise-Obama administration Gulf oil spill key test delayed 2 months-AP

1/21/11, "Testing of key oil spill evidence delayed again," AP, H.R. Weber

"Forensic testing of a key piece of evidence in the Gulf oil spill investigation

• could take twice as long as expected.

An investigator with the U.S. Chemical Safety Board — one of the groups monitoring the testing — said Friday

• his agency has been advised the examination may not finish
  

• until March 20.

The Interior Department had said testing of the 300-ton blowout preventer that failed to stop oil from spewing into the Gulf of Mexico following last year's rig explosion would take two months once it started Nov. 16.

• That timeframe passed on Sunday.

The device, raised from the seafloor Sept. 4, sat at a NASA facility in New Orleans for two months before testing started.

A federal investigative team overseeing the testing

• isn't commenting."

They can come up with endless delay tactics. Obama's such a tease. Too bad for people who's only vice is having a Southern accent. ed.
