Oil spill drama not over yet: Obama

Oil spill drama not over yet: Obama

By Craig McMurtrie and wires 

As BP engineers continue to carry out pressure tests on the cap now sealing the runaway oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, the US president has warned Americans not to get ahead of themselves.

The damaged well head is still sealed off by the new cap, as engineers run more tests. 

So far the pressure readings have been inconclusive, though BP says there is no sign of oil escaping anywhere else on the Gulf of Mexico sea floor. 

US president Barack Obama is warning that while the success of the cap is good news, it is not a permanent fix. 

"There were a lot of reports coming out in the media that seemed to indicate well maybe this thing is done," he said.
