probably ruined the Gulf for decades
Oh, I'm sure I could go on..
Maybe some of the rednecks seeing their livelihoods destroyed will realize that voting mindlessly for conservative Republicans like Barton isn't in their best interest.

Hmm the easy things to jump on for a conspiracy theorist.
As for the safety violations. Can you back that up, I mean not that there were not any violations but the statement "more than any other oil company in the world".
I don't know what your job is but you haven't obviously worked with BP. I have. If anything they have some of the most stringent rules concerning health and safety. At least here in the UK.
I'm really sorry that the gulf coast is polluted, it has wrecked thousands of peoples lives. However I am tired of BP being made out to eb the one and only company responsible.
YEs as it seems BP pushed for things to be done quicker but at the end of the day on a rig it is the OIM (Oil Installation Manager) who is in charge on the rig. He is god. He could have said stop. Transocean provided the rig, and the BOP and the other bits associated theyn are as much responsible. THEY ARE GETTING AWAY SCOT FREE. BP have done more than any poxy federal government unit have done regarding this spill. Obama is all talk talk talk. I'm the big guy yadda yadda yadda.
My rant over.
Obama knows he is rubbish and no living up to the hype. No decisive statements on Korea, or Iran. It's all let's be friends and sing kumbay f**king ya....
