BP has proven that it doesn't really know what it's doing either...and BP is not being honest and transparent with the American public...Obama should take over BP's North American operations and we could bring in the best deep water drilling talent from Norway and Brazil immediately...BP is a very secretive company that is known for it's ruthless cost cutting -- they clearly are not doing everything that is in the best interest of the American public...BP is only trying to limit liability and preserve profits for it's shareholders...Why did BP use well over 800,000 gallons of the very toxic dispersant Corexit in the Gulf ?? To hide the true magnitude of the oil spill. BP could not have used that same controversial dispersant in the British waters as Corexit was banned in Britain at least 10 years ago...BP is totally trashing our Gulf of Mexico and our government is letting them get away with it...Time to temporarily take over the company. BP can not be trusted to do the right thing for all the stakeholders.

All the "thinkers" have gone totally nuts. And, you know what? Not one of them has asked why we need to drill there, or can tell us where we can drill instead, or asked us if we would swap the Gulf in return for drilling in ANWAR. Nor can they give us (not tell us, but give us) something to replace it with, right now. That's gonna take 20 years, and they just throw it out there like saying "Whoops, I blew that move, I'll hit reset and try again." Uh,uh. It's like they were saying about Rand Paul...you have problems when your philosophy collides with the real world. Most of this chatter is like the 2AM dorm room discussions. We don't have a garage with 200M electric cars just waiting for Obama to give away.
