"BP chief’s yacht outing sparks outrage; Gulf area angry over Hayward trip to watch race" by Raphael Satter and Holbrook Mohr, Associated Press | June 20, 2010
EMPIRE, La. —
Messages seeking comment were left for officials at the White House, who have struggled to counter criticism at home of how the administration has handled the disaster. An Associated Press-GfK poll released Tuesday showed 52 percent now disapprove of Obama’s handling of the oil spill, up significantly from last month....
They must be CALLING BP EMPLOYEES!!!
Yeah, I THOUGHT I SMELLED SOMETHING!!
Just another MSM poll, that's all.
The British press, much more sympathetic than the American media to BP’s plight....
Yeah, right, the AmeriKan MSM has been all tough, uh-huh!!!
God, I am SO SICK of this BULLS*** passing as NEWS!
I'm SORRY, world!!!!!
I am ASHAMED and EMBARRASSED and ANGRY that this is New England's LARGEST newspaper.
About 50 miles off the coast, a newly expanded containment system is capturing or incinerating more than 1 million gallons of oil daily, the first time it has approached its peak capacity, according to the Coast Guard....
So says the LYING GOVERNMENT and NEWSPAPER!

Can we call it one now?
More than 120 million gallons have leaked from the well, according to the most pessimistic federal daily flow rate estimates.
Which means it must be more.
They have lied from the beginning about front.
Oil has been washing up from Louisiana to Florida, killing birds and fish, coating delicate marshes and wetlands and covering pristine beaches with tar balls.
That is ALL YOU GET from the GULF, folks!
A REHASHED PARAGRAPH that is NOT NEWS!!!
A pair of relief wells considered the best chance at a permanent fix won’t be done until August.
And even that "fix" is iffy.

Yeah, that SLICK must be ALMOST GONE by now, huh, Glob?
Oh, and that EXPERT PANEL a**hole convened?
"Oil spill panel short on technical expertise
WASHINGTON — The panel appointed by President Obama to investigate the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is short on technical expertise but long on talking publicly about “America’s addiction to oil.’’ One member has blogged about it regularly....
Full of AGENDA-PUSHING FART MIST, huh?
Just like ALL the OTHER GOVERNMENT WHITEWASHES, 'er, COMMISSIONS!
The White House said the commission will focus on the government’s “too cozy’’ relationship with the oil industry.
