16. Yes, but I fear the Feds won't be able to keep BP from diverting assets.
Seriously, I didn't hear anything which reassured me. It sounds like he cannot make BP do what is needed.

3. I wish he could freeze BP assets
Because I fear they will secretly divert assets then bankrupt down the line.

13. True. Many, many thousands have lost their jobs because of the 'spill'
If all some people can do is bash Jindal, then you don't know how much the people of the Gulf coast are hurting and how badly they will be hurt by the loss of a clean Gulf of Mexico and healthy wetlands.

I just can't laugh because my heart id with the people, with the dying creatures.

17. What? Obama at the gulf again?
What happened?

Did someone tell him that they have been lying to him again?

Like about the underwater plume the interested parties all denied the existence of, now verified in 2 separate locations by lab tests done by USF scientists.

Dear Mr. President:

Trust no one involved with this catastrophe that has skin in the game.

Like state commission revenues on drilling in the common Gulf waters.

What I don't understand is why Adm. Allen continues to parrot what by now are obvious lies from BP.

This is not change we can believe in. This is the same old same old. Corps lie, military lies, politicians lie.

I just can't monitor this anymore for a while. Too many heartbreaks and frustrations with things not changing.

Gotta take a break for the weekend.




No more centavos to give
