1. k

he just met with oil spill commission chairmen.

[BeFree]

2. Hope he doesn't slip

Really. I hope he tells us that BP is NOT in charge. That BP is gonna be spending all its time writing checks and not one is going to him.

That he tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but....

[Captain Hilts]

3. Same here. Don't hold back, 'Bam! nt

[BeFree]

5. Yes we can!!

I have this audacious hope that Obama changes course and takes control.
I think we can make him do it.

[Captain Hilts]

8. I hope so too. nt

[BeFree]

10. He slipped...

...he's gonna get congress to fund the cleanup. Congress to fund the cleanup?

On edit: he said "fund the response". So... BP isn't gonna fund the response?

[Mari333]

12. more corporate pandering if we have to pay for it

jesus f christ

[Mari333]

4. that would be nice.

[Mari333]

6. here we go

[Mari333]

7. says national guards troops being sent

and lots of workers sent..
are federal funds being used for this?? BP should be paying for this, all of it.

[Mari333]

9. talking about MMS corruption and how salazar tried to clean it up

seperate the MMS from the oil companies

6 month moratorium on drilling offshore

aggressive new standards

new oversight

bob graham and bill reilly as co chairs of commission

arent they both big oil tools??

[Individualist]

17. Graham is one of the founders of NDC; Reilly is a republican.

[NYC_SKP]

11. Tripling manpower on clean-up in next 24 hours. n/t

[Mari333]

13. is BP paying for it?????

[NYC_SKP]

14. BP head said on the air that they are paying all costs.

This might have been Saturday, on the air, sorry not to have a link but I thought it was a significant admission when I heard it.

[BeFree]

16. Can we trust BP?

What if BP goes BankRupt?

[NYC_SKP]

18. Of course not. And, even if we could, we will be paying for some of this.

The best hope for recovery of costs isn't trusting them to remit payment for invoice we might send them.

The best hope if for recovery of costs through massive fines.

And, really, how can we even put a price on the real damages to the environment.

All the worth of BP International won't cover these, IMO.

:patriot:

[BeFree]

19. Yeah

The Gulf is priceless.

Y'know, this is not just an environmental crisis, this is a corporate crisis.

This just may alter the whole 'corporations are good for you' concept.
