It's ok to piss. It's ok to shite. It's ok to fart. It's ok to burp.
Just don't do all four at the same time.

I understand that. Just seems like BP wasn't even willing to make a serious effort outside of the relief wells. I would have been OK with that had they said that upfront and just focused purely on containment at that point.

People are for their heads anyway. It's a now win for them and they knew that from the beginning. I truly would not be as upset had they just concentrated on better containment at that point.

yup. I felt the same way after Katrina. What do people honestly expect Bush to do? What do people honestly expect Obama to do? Part of being president is handling stoopid expectations.Posted on 6/4/10 at 1:13 pm to manwich

Too late
Those pictures came out yesterday, and I guarantee that opened the eyes of so many people who weren't paying attention before..
You would be surprised how many PETA-ish freaks there are out there

What do people honestly expect Obama to do?
