NEW ORLEANS – The BP chairman's comment that the oil giant cares about "the small people" received an icy reception on Wednesday from residents along the Gulf Coast.

BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg told reporters in Washington: "I hear comments sometimes that large oil companies are greedy companies or don't care, but that is not the case with BP. We care about the small people."

just saw part of the daily show. they showed clips of every president since nixon making speeches on getting alternative sources of energy, and getting ourselves off our dependence on foreign oil.
nixon, ford, carter, reagan, bush, clinton, bush and now obama. nixon, in '74, gave 1980 as the goal. ford, '85. carter-2000. bush 2, by 2025....lol
