Most of the people are pissed at your manchild for inaction, other than his community agitator routine.

Its not fudging numbers when you don't give out any numbers ... as BP hasn't. I wonder if people think that ONLY 5000 bpd isn't a catastrophe and we need to get the numbers up to show its a real problem?

>> Of course it is. Why do you think people are so pissed? The only people who are "pissed" are leftwing nutjobs (you) and Salazar, who after coming out of a meeting with BP today said he was "angry", then proceeded to give no reason, whatsoever, why he would be "angry". And frankly, the other attendees in the meeting ALL commented that BP was doing everything possible to stop the leaks. One pointed out it was an "existential threat" to BP so obviously they're highly motivated. It is just ignorant to bash the company over this. There is no indication of wrongdoing at this point. Should that change later on, then maybe that will be different. For now, the administration looks foolish for trying to make political hay out of a crisis -- something GWB would absolutely not have done. (Do you remember the trumped up charges against GWB for simply having his PICTURE made during a crisis?) Personally, I'm tired of Obama getting a pass on everything.
