Yes, America, HE CARE$ MORE about BP than YOU!
"BP agrees to $20b account to pay Gulf claims; Will build fund over 4 years; Obama says ‘BP is strong, viable’" by Scott Wilson and Joel Achenbach, Washington Post | June 17, 2010
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration and
The company, whose chairman announced yesterday that it would not pay dividends to shareholders for the rest of the year, will also contribute $100 million to a fund that supports unemployed oil workers.
Speaking to reporters in the State Dining Room of the White House, President Obama called the agreement “a good start’’ that will reassure “the people and small businesses I was talking to in the Gulf that BP will meet its responsibilities.’’
“I’m absolutely confident BP will be able to meet its obligations to the Gulf Coast and to the American people,’’ Obama said. “BP is a strong and viable company and it is in all our interests that it remains so....’’
The agreement emerged after a more than three-hour meeting between White House officials and BP executives, whose relationship has grown increasingly strained as the spill nears the two-month mark....
Pffft!
Obama said exactly what the BP executives and their shareholders wanted to hear: “BP is a strong, viable company, and it is in all of our interests that it remain so.’’
But speaking to reporters outside the White House, Svanberg angered Gulf residents with what appeared to be another insensitive comment from BP. “I hear comments sometimes that large oil companies are greedy companies or don’t care, but that is not the case with BP,’’ Svanberg said. “We care about the small people.’’
Un-flipping-real!!!
Justin Taffinder of New Orleans was not amused.
“We’re not small people. We’re human beings. They’re no greater than us. We don’t bow down to them. We don’t pray to them,’’ Taffinder said.
Svanberg is Swedish, and his comments — in English — may have been an unintentional slight. Asked about the chairman’s remark, BP spokesman Toby Odone told the Associated Press in an e-mail that “it is clear that what he means is that he cares about local businesses and local people. This was a slip in translation.’’
WEAK EXCUSE!!!!
Also yesterday, BP announced that it had begun using a second containment system to capture oil leaking from the well....
I've been covered in enough MSM lies, thanks.

Cuba braces to contend with BP oil spill
Cuba is steadying itself for an ecological and tourism crisis as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill appears to be heading towards its pristine northern coast. Patches of oil were reportedly spotted 100 miles north-west of the island, prompting concern that gulf currents will add Cuba to the list of casualties from the April 20 Deepwater Horizon rig explosion.
