"Corporate negligence in the extreme."
Edited on Tue May-25-10 07:16 PM by Cleita
This is how Lawrence O'Donnell on Keith Olbermann characterizes the gulf oil disaster. He said the White House is trying to treat it like an accident, when in fact with all the things coming out about how BP runs things, it's corporate negligence in the extreme.

Maybe it's time to call the White House again and ask Obama to stop treating it like an accident and start treating it like a crime scene. It's time to make some arrests and start asking hard questions.

1. England is a country.
Lots of Catholics live there.

The Vatican is a country.

Ergo, BP has immunity.

3. Palast just called it fraud on Flashpoints right now.
Part of the whole corporate "self-regulation" deal with government relies on honest reporting (I know, I know) and BP has been lying through their teeth.

4. Agreed
After seeing the 60 minutes interview this past Sunday, I am completely baffled that President Obama has not sent a team to investigate this as a serious criminal negligence case.
