Kinda like I expect Obama to be vaguely familiar with World War I?*









* But not Caribou Barbie. She's still figuring out Africa isn't a country.

i think the most important thing is that the company know the best way to clean it up, etc. of course we learn from our past, and no doubt that's how they have figured out the best way to provide safety checks, etc. but i don't know that it's the ceo's job to know all about all that-i think it's his job to have the people in place to know that. but i see your point. not sure tho about the comparison to ww1. a more likely comparison would be for obama to know all the specifics about the huge san francisco earthquake and all the details on how it was handled-and i doubt he does. but maybe/hopefully fema does.

'Zig, the point was that these CEO's didn't even know that spill existed

To a man, they didn't even know it happened.

So what? They are the CEO's of oil companies, in front of Congress regarding the biggest oil spill ever, and they didn't even look at the crib notes? They sit there say, "oil spill? Before? really?"

It's not exactly the forum where you want to be completely forthcoming. Of course lets disregard that fact and continue to be naive for the save of feigning outrage. Becuz dats funner.
