Sure, they screwed up, but throwing BP out is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

The reason I would fire "BP" has nothing to do with what they know or don't know...as we have seen BP's interests are not consistent in all cases with what is in Our interests. I would resolve that from day one. I would also eliminate any false perceptions of who may be in charge. We did not need the CEO of BP saying things inconsistent with what the administration was saying, it causes confusion. I have already been mocked regarding my attitude in these matters - what I would do has no value. If you are satisfied with what the administration has done, I think you are in the minority at this point.

Perception is often reality. BP is still acting like they are in charge.
