>>Allen said that “to push BP out of the way would raise a question: replace them with what? Okay. Who would you replace them with? Please don't say the feds because they have no experience in such matters. So what oil company do you think has such big ones that they would walk into a mess like without demanding a paydown of many billions if not trillions?>> You are grossly misrepresenting what I have said. All I ever talked about was strict government oversight! E.g. BP's CEO called the spill's impact minimal to the Gulf. Our government should have immediately called bullshit on that. BP will not even follow the EPA's call for different dispersments. But above all, anyone who thinks BP will do anything other than what is in their best interest lives in lala land. As I HAVE said, I just want our government to make sure everything BP is doing is in our interest and not theirs. Please do not put words in my mouth.
