BP chairman summoned to Obama meeting over oil spill BP's chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg has been summoned to a meeting with President Barack Obama next Wednesday to answer questions about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, an official letter said

Team: Much more oil gushing from well than thought HOUSTON - Researchers studying the flow of oil from the blown-out well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico said Thursday that up to twice the amount of oil previously thought may have been spewing into the sea since an oil rig exploded nearly two months ago. |
Plenty of Gulf volunteers, not enough work to do NEW ORLEANS - The Gulf of Mexico oil spill has brought out thousands of people who just want to help — though there isn't much for them to do unless they own a Hazmat suit. |
There is no 100% method for keeping
the oil away from the beaches and inlets.
Waves and tides wash oil over those floating booms.
Hand clean up of the beaches is what we are faced with.
Hey BP, order more hazmat suits, respirators, Dawn liquid detergent, whatever is
needed.
You made this slow motion mess. Not Obama. You clean it up

President Barack Obama called on Wednesday for sharply limiting Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip in the wake of the botched Israeli naval raid that's straining U.S. and Israeli relations with allies around the world, and the White House announced a $400 million aid package for Gaza and the West Bank.

The Buck Stops at BP's Desk
I am so angry about the Gulf of Mexico oil leak.
This slow motion nightmare by BP has
brought us to where no man has gone before. BP has the technology to drill but
not the technology to stop the leak.
The US government is not in the business of oil cleanup, repair, etc.., nor
should it be.
BP broke it and it is up to them to fix it.
