We'll see.

Maybe this is who we should blame, our corrupt politicians and the lobbyists they employ really they should be very ashamed of themselves but of course they arent.

No. You haven't noticed I've already posted about BP being in bed with MM, I guess.

You know its not even about Dems or Rep its all of them , its sickening to see the amount of "legal" corruption our government allows. If I were President the first thing I would do is outlaw campaign contributions by anyone. If you cant do it on your own then tough crap .

Shocking expose in Rolling Stone, how MMS became completely corrupt under Bush, Salazar failed to change a thing under Obama, and BP disregards safety, period. Eight pages - takes a while, but all are a good read. Unfortunately, very, very ugly.

Give BP credit. Like Carter and Obama with the mideast, they understand the complexity of the problem and in your mind isn't that what counts?
