BP=Big Problem

BP: The oil company formally known as British Petroleum currently goes by Beyond Petroleum. They've moved beyond petroleum because they never thought about how to cap a leaking oil well. Really?! They figured out how to drill a mile deep in the ocean, but never had a contingency plan to stop a leak? No, they don't have a high tech sealant, but maybe golf balls and shredded tires will stop it. Wow.
The part that kills me is that people are holding Pres. Obama responsible. A recent poll showed 69% of Americans think he is doing a poor job of handling the crisis. They are calling it "Obama's Katrina." First of all, no human lives are in jeopardy and second, what the hell do you want him to do? Maybe he could go to the beach and drive golf balls into the ocean. That's how W. would have handled it. On Bush's watch the Minerals Management Service accepted cocaine and sexual favors from oil companies in exchange for lax inspections. Let's keep some perspective and blame those actually responsible.
