You guys see the 60 minutes piece on the BP disaster?

[Joecooool]

Holy ****, BP is going to get crucified.

60 Minutes - Interviews, Profiles & Reports - CBS News

[Munch]

Yup

The worker they interviewed pretty much gave them all the info they needed and that guy doing the investigation said flat out "It's BP's fault". Sad thing is that after they are hit with the fines and such it will all boil down to the cost of doing business and things will go on as they always have.

I don't understand people that try to minimize this thing by saying stuff like "oil being released into the ocean is a natural phenomenon...it happens all the time, all over the world."

Seems the president got the biggest donations over his rival in the last election from the oil companies, they play both sides and the current admin was happy to leave them alone until this mishap, now go after them, another crisis to work wonders on my pocket book, like health care that I pay for 4 years prior to it really taking effect, so HC was and is not a crisis if it takes 4 years to take effect

The messiah takes money from anyone and then is out to own them, or fine them, oil companies are just the latest, oh BP is not an American company, so at the moment he can not own them

please show the class Obama's profit statement from said "owning"....thanks in advance.

One of the main reasons this happened ….not following tried/true written procedures AND arm chair inspections of critical components……….no different that the nuclear industry.
Da boss says "Stay safe & follow the procedure............w/o slowing or stopping production"

Lets see.......... a novel idea
Write a procedure
Train them
Assure the training works
Tweak the procedure or the deck plates for actual correct working conditions as needed
Have IDEPENDANT inspectors inspect, write up the ALL finds good and bad, and have the company act on those findings……….I think the regulators will be in the hot seat very soon as well

Just another case of not leading by example and the “do as I say, not as I do” mentality of some folks

HIde and Watch? What do you think the Administration is doing?

We're a month into this thing and all we have is a bunch of finger pointing Cabinet Secretaries saying tsk, tsk, tsk...

Three days after Katrina, Anderson Cooper, Brian Williams and all of CNN were broadcasting live about the lack of response as Coast Guard helos orbited overhead and Hospital ships anchored in the Gulf.

Obama has made more progress on his golf game since the explosion than he has on the utter destruction of the gulf coast by one of his largest campaign contributors.

the government doesn't have the means to tackle a spill like this. our only hope was that BP did & they are more concerned with recovering the oil than our environment. it's going to get nasty. it probably will be known as "Obama's Katrina," but unjustifiably so. when Obama's golf games total up to over a year [like W's brush cutting at Crawford did] you'll have an argument.

W has nothing to do with this so don't go there.

And don't tell me a government that can put a man on the moon, take over the largest corporation in the world, and assume they can do health care better than the entire insurance industry, can't plug a hole in a pipe a mile under water.
