[QUOTE="stevetheupsguy, post: 744277, member: 9662"] Okay, now that you see the point, we can increase the dialog. I never said BP shouldn't be fined or held accountable for its lapses. I'm just saying that BP doesn't owe the whole world. What good is money going to do these people if they stay living in the same place? Don't you think BP should be able to take every avenue to contain and clean up this mess, First? Let's pretend for a moment that I am walking back from a paint store and as I walk by your precious automobile I spill a couple of gallons of paint on it by mistake. Would you let me at least attempt to clean up the mess, or would you jump right on the phone, calling a lawyer? Our President has the ability to use everything at disposal to "assist" BP in getting this mess taken care of, yet all he does is stand idly by, giving speeches and trying to appease the public with words. There are great minds out there that if contacted and allowed, would be of great service at this moment in time. Why don't they call upon these great minds? A person in charge would do good to know their limitations. Our President is not going to clean up this mess single handedly, though it would look great for him if he did. It's time (been time) to take some action and not just give speeches or stand around on the beach for photo ops. [/QUOTE]
