the point is not a simple-minded one. your response to it shows that almost any statement can be met with a simple-minded response though.
this is not about accidents. it's about the intertwining of political and corporate power. over the past few days what's been happening with bp, particularly over the past few days as its shares tanked and its commercial paper acquired a junk bond status (for example) is starting to acquire the outline of a political fight that will initially pit the uk against the us in part because bp's brand triage unit has managed to spin bp's situation in the states as a function of either anti-uk sentiment or electorcal politics in the us (take your pick)....so bp is a victim now.
boo hoo.

"bp is a victim now",???? Get real.
The government has to accept BP as a partner or an adversary. Trying to have it both ways causes confusion and shows a lack of leadership. Forcing BP into bankruptcy is not a brilliant plan if you want them to pay for everything.

ace, i really couldn't care less whether you pretend to be president and make up stuff you'd do or not. nor do i care about the bug under your bonnet about the obama administration.
it'd be nice if sometime you could come up with something substantial.
so far, you have mostly smoke.

My posts are not about you.
In response to Obama saying that "we" (meaning his administration) is doing everything that can be done and critics complain but don't offer alternative ideas is b.s. I have been offer alternative ideas, I outline what I would do. When I present, what I would do, it is in direct response to that comment made by Obama
