The Fake BP Oil Spill Response: 'Army Of Temp Workers' Bused To Grand Isle For Obama Appearance Leave Soon Afterward

Hard to believe - spin can be useful, but this is ridiculous. We want transparency, not BP being transparent in its PR. This is perhaps the most shameful behavior on the part of any corporation we've seen - period!

Obama Oil Spill Response: President Visits Gulf Coast Beach

A photo op never saved a fish, cleaned a bird, or protected the marsh. Go to the worst-hit areas and see the truth of how bad this is! And then, meet with the scientists who see what's lurking underneath and off-shore. This will not be solved in a week, a month, or maybe even years, and people - and entire communities - will suffer greatly because of BP's ineptitude and greed!

22-Mile Oil Plume Under Gulf Nears Rich Waters

Read the Article at HuffingtonPost

We're in uncharted waters here folks - we don't routinely see an entire ecosystem and food chain destroyed on this magnitude. BP can't pay enough to repair this. They've went beyond the "Pottery Barn" rule. When you break an item, you pay for it. But what happens when by breaking that one item, you destroy the whole store, the whole mall, and maybe even the whole town where the Pottery Barn was. Time for a new level of corporate responsibility. If there truly were any justice (and let me say, I know this won't happen), BP should become the first company ever confiscated by the government and given to shrimpers and operators of hotels and restaurants along the Gulf.

In closing, all I can say is that spending Memorial Day weekend here in Destin, Florida with my family - and there is a deep foreboding here that what we have seen in coastal Louisiana is headed here and all along the Gulf Coast.
