Why does Mr. Obama think that a daily onslaught of abuse against BP is going to help solve the oil spillage problem?
 

[albitz]

He doesnt, he hopes it might solve his unpopularity problem with the U.S. electorate. - very cynical imo.

[albitz]

As usual The Daily Mash has got it about right.

Before the oil spill the share price was 658p today it was 365p.

Brilliant, Albs. Thanks for spotting that.

It's not often I laugh out loud when I read something online, but that did it for me. 

Obama is causing liberals to agree with Norman Tebbit,they cant handle it.

I couldn't be bothered to read it all. First few sentences showed the way it was going...

I preferred the Daily Mash.

Special relationship?

Obama just scoring cheap (except they aren't) points. Needs a clip round the lughole.

Head of BP . Hasn't done enough to contain the bad publicity. he should have been knocking on the White Houses door to show they were all in it together. Instead he moaned about having a bad day. Poor soul. Needs sacking.

Why hasn't someone invented a machine for cleaning up spills? Hovercraft with a vacuum cleaner connected to floating storage. I bet Dyson would come up with something. 

Condems? Too busy in Afghanistan scoring cheap points with the armed forces.

There's a company that makes natural oil eating bacteria which was successfully used to clean up the ocean and shores after the Exxon Valdez accident. To date, the company which produces up to 200,000 gallons a day of the oil eating bacteria has not had their phone calls returned by Obama's White House or BP.

Here is a thought.

Head of BP engages a top lawyer who finds out that BP isn't legally responsible for the oil leak but a small 50 head company that makes a failed blow out valve or similar is. BP walk away Scot free and takes away its business in the USA,meanwhile the small company goes bust with loss of livelihoods and the USA has to pick up the bill that BP would have picked up if Obama hadn't been quite so outspoken.

BP back to profitability, Varche becomes a millionaire having snapped up BP futures yesterday at the bottom. UK pensioners can breath again.

  Could it be that the Americans are trying to drive BP into bankruptcy so that American oil companies can step in and dominate the market?

[Lioned]

Come on Obama. If your so clever send Thunderbirds down there to stop the oil leak.If you aint so clever then shut up.

[pedroMV6]

The company I work for - www.perryslingsbysystems.com - have made many of the ROV's at the site trying to stop the leak.
We are kept very much up to date on the happenings out there, and I can assure you that everything is being done that can be done, and new ideas are being tried out, so my take is that it doesn't matter who caused the catastrophe, it needs sorting first.
I don't like the idea of wildlife being affected by Man's greed for oil (even though I have four cars on the drive!).

Post-mortem after the well has been capped.

The politicians will blame, counter blame argue and fight until the cows come home - it's what they do and paid very well for. It isn't about Obama, or whether BP is a British company or not (which it once was, but now isn't) - it's about who shouts the loudest and is believed by who has the most power.

Sod the politics for the moment, there's a storm brewing and the well isn't properly capped yet!
If politicians put as much energy into trying to help instead of blowing hot air all day, then we wouldn't need to drill for oil!

F.A.B. Lioned!

You are closer to the truth than you know.
A client of mine is the CEO of a company " right on the spot " so to speak .I wish I could say more  but suffice to say there is a chain of liability that will be implemented once the post mortem is conducted on the reason for the BOP valves failure .........

[Amigo]

We've got two versions of events reporting wise here.
   1. Broadsheet press who will waffle on endlessly paragraph after paragraph unnecessarily dragging a few lines out into a few pages.
   2. Tabloid press. Leased rig, BOP not in place.

   More importantly, fuel prices were just starting to drop slowly...that's put paid to that then. UP THEY GO AGAIN so we recoup thier losses for them!
