This is the most detailed story of what happened on the rig I have read to date! Maybe some might disagree but my heart goes out to the workers on board the rig...They all knew this could very well be blamed on them! I sure hope this does not end up being the case.

PLEASE take the time to read the entire article!!!!!

2. Recall hearing a report in the past few days where corp lawyers

3. I know!

However, what will make me more upset than BP trying to squirm and slither out of their responsibilities is the American people who will side with the Republicans when it comes to stronger regulations on oil companies!

I know this will happen!

Rush has already told his "bright" audience that Obama & the Democratic Party are politicizing this oil spill because oil is as natural as the oceans! WTF?

4. I say investigate Halliburton and their cement job.

There are no bounds to Dick Cheney's evil. How do we know this wasn't planned sabatoge to make Obama look bad?
