    There's plenty out there.

    I prefer to direct my ire towards the folks that actually spilled the oil.

    I agree, but during Katrina we heard no end to the media blaming George Bush for not doing enough, I figured they would be equalling damning of Obama. People have spoke out, the media not as much.

    HA! LOL.

    The USA gets 64% of it's crude oil from Canada and 12% from the Middle East.

    Obama was very critical about the Alberta Oil Sands, but when their is a growing tar pit in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, he is running around the White House with his head up his ass.

    I mean, BP has Lied and proven themselves to only be interested in protecting their bottom line.

    Why didn't the President get EXXON or SHELL in their, get a Grand Jury set up and go after BP from day one.

    They are incompetent bunch of Fuckwards..

    Human greed caused this. Fuck the fines, time to throw at least the CEO and a few of his minions in jail for a couple of years.

    Thanks for the vids, and now we are told there is a less safe rig out there still operating after the design engineer complained about problems was fired. Also certainly seems the whole blame rests on BP as their execs were there calling the shots and overriding the rig companies orders. Can't watch this wihtout saying WOW. This is going to be used for workplace health and safety textbook case studies for a long time to come. Actually BP will, just 5 years ago they were fined the highest amount ever for a facility explosion they were negligent in? I really don't care if my gas prices go up, these pricks need to be shut down, period!

    Hey now, go easy on 'em, you can't be a capitalist these days without a little gross criminal negligence now and then.
