They just wanted us to believe that the oil would stay in the US. Just like they say with the natural gas that they want to frack out of the ground here in NY.
All they care about is the money. The sooner people realize that, the better off they will be.
They just wanted it in the gulf to refine it, so that they could then export it to THE HIGHEST BIDDER!
