Unless they are ultimately shown to have been mishandling the situation at the well (which hasn't happened yet) --- You may be the last person on the planet that holds that still holds that view.

Stewart is an idiot who other idiots think is politically astute. But O'Reilly is brilliant? LOL. The Rs who forced Barton to back down are spineless pieces of crap IMO. Barton was exactly right -- EXCEPT that he made the mistake of believing the president's BS claim that he FORCED BP to do anything. You're out of touch. Very out of touch. Barton's comments were the equivalent of him saying he hopes al Qaeda will win against the US. He is a traitor. BP, out of desperation, is caving to the government to try and preserve some kind of public face in this country. Which obviously isn't working. BP has screwed up. There is a enough evidence they were cutting corners and that that contributed to the spill. That's why they have capitulated. Obama has held their feet to the fire as he should have. Unless they are ultimately shown to have been mishandling the situation at the well (which hasn't happened yet), they would have been better off standing up to Obama and explaining how they are responsible, but not at FAULT, for the leak. Obama did right by the American people. I am very proud that he managed to get that $20 billion put up, and you should be too. The fact you don't get it shows exactly how fukked up the R brand is.
