"IT'S THE SPILL STUPID"

Is it just me or is anybody else tired of listening to pompous and arrogant politicians belittle people on national TV. I see no need for these hearings blasting BP until after the well has been capped and the spill mostly cleaned up. If they want to have these high powered meetings, lets discuss what is going on in the gulf and what we are going to do from this point forward. What really irks me is that the same people telling BP they have broken rules and cut corners are the ones who have put us so far in debt that we may never recover. I doubt many of the politicians could identify a centralizer if the other two choices were a cow and a pig. If BP had the balance sheet of our government, they would already be in bankruptcy. Enough politics.

I have tried to keep up with the blowout and subsequent work. There have been some amazing things done trying to stop the flow and/or collect the oil. It is obvious that there are many factors that the public either doesn't know or understand involved in controlling this well.

I am not defending BP in any way. However, I think they are trying to control this and bring it to an end. I have always loved Louisiana and the rest of the gulf coast. I truly hope the damage is less than what is projected. Lets leave politics out and stop the leak and get on with recovery. Other people's tragedies should not be used to advance one's political agenda.
