BP vs. American Lack of Focus?

June 17th, 2010 Big Al No comments

It came to my attention that the focus BP (that’s BP, Obama, not British Petroleum) appears to be broadening to encompass the UK as a whole.  I’m really not sure that I understand how America seems to be dealing with this catastrophe. As usual, I’m not claiming to be an expert here, but I’ve read and listened to British and American news reports, as well as the ongoing trial. I can hardly believe the lack of understanding portrayed by the members of congress commenting on this issue, and concentrating on the embarrassment  they can impose on BP instead of dealing with the issue at hand.

I can’t remember the last time I saw a politician come across so arrogant, patronising and condescending. What is this achieving? The questions asked there hold no relevance to resolving the problem. Scathing questions just formed and repeated in order to make a point that doesn’t need making. I think this next video proves this point:

Why is the US government so busy attacking BP when they should really be thinking about the source of the issue? The last time I checked they were polluting more than any other country. Time to stop pointing the finger and start dealing with the problem I think.

On a side-note, how did that protestor manage to enter the room?
