Actions speak louder than kicking and screaming......So far (and these numbers will probably swell), 17 fed staging areas.... authorization of 17,500 National Guard members.... 20,000 people working the scene.....hundreds of scientists and engineers..... 1,900 vessels...... 1,300 miles of boom material.
In truth.... this is the largest response to an environmental disaster of this kind in the history of our country.
And oh, yeah, it's still on-going..... To BP, just the begining: A "preliminary" bill for $69 million to the federal government for response services already rendered, and orders to pay economic injury claims to residents. For the industry as a whole, aggressive new operating standards for offshore drilling. I bet your Fox News actors and fictional storytellers leave out the little details such as the ones above.....But let's not make this about BP, let's make this about Obama's perception of being out of touch.......
Moreluck, you seem to be attached to BP like a tar ball stain on the bottom of my foot....What gives ? Are you attracted to English accents ?
in this cnn video the producers graciously post "obama furious over oil spill" along the bottom in case we have difficulty in detecting his furor.

I don't believe the context makes any difference. It was a dumb thing for the President of the United States of America to say.
(And it is diesel96 who now tries to turn it into a race issue)
