What the hell is wrong with this country? First of all, if you saw the CEO of BP talking about the spill stating that they would be responsible for cleaning up the oil but not for the accident and it didn't make your head spin and green vomit come out of your mouth after hearing him then you are not an American.

 

First of all, I don't care if you were drilling of your wifes left tit and it was too floppy to hold up all the black sludge you guys were claiming for BP's profit, the fact is you knew what you were getting into when you sent your people onto the rig, you knew what safety devices it had or in this case did not have therefore you are cleaning it up and re-imbursing the people of the gulf coast of the United States of America with your British pounds if it means that BP fails.

Thats right, if BP has to go under to pay this thing off, to make sure that each and every person who loses their job over this, the tourist industry, the environment that suffers over this that needs to be cleaned up, BP will pay the bill.

If person A takes my car and goes and plows into someone at an intersection its not my fault, its the jackass who took my car, especially if I told him about the blind spots.

Why aren't some of our politicians not making more of a stink about this? Lets get one thing out of the way on the political side of this, the Obama Administration has done everything right to this point, if anything he hasn't been tough enough with demanding BP forks over every dollar they have to this and insuring the people of this country that they will get reimbursed for this. Lets face it, directly or indirectly, whether you live in Seattle or New Orleans, this thing is going to have lasting impacts. BP has fucked this country up for not years but DECADES.

Don't believe it? Take a look at the most recent video of the Exxon Valdez mess from 1989:

Lives were ruined and the environment is still suffering 21 years later. The biggest difference is that the Gulf is highly populated and there are even more lives to ruin from this. So what really up this catastrophe? These oil companies are cheap. They made record profits yet were too cheap to install or make sure the proper safety devices were in place. Dick Cheney and George W. Bush helped them do that. They deregulated the oil industry allowing them take shortcuts on safety features that could have prevented the whole thing.

Want more? Check out who actually leased this rig to BP and what their involvement is in this, Big Ed Schultz hits on all cylinders on this on the Ed Show and he was talking about it on his radio show. I respect the hell out of him because he doens't hold back and neither should we, BP doesn't care about cleaning this up anymore than they do about reimbursing this country for the damage they did, pay attention for who Trans Ocean is in this clip:

Yeah, Trans Ocean, the biggest oil drilling company in the world, home office in Houston, Texas and they DON"T PAY TAXES. It doesn't matter who pays for this mess as long as who ever does A) isn't us, the American Tax Payer and B) They pay for not only the oil clean up but the long term environmental costs/cleanup and reimburse everyone who is damaged financially by this mess. If it means this Trans Ocean or BP or both go under and never return then so be it. Ed is right, its time we listened and followed finally, what this man said years ago now and actually mean it, no more oil!:
