#1 That's a single day's worth of production for the United States.

Meanwhile, exploration has been basically shut down (as well as workover of existing wells) in a region that produces 1/3 of that production, day after day, for the past several months, and is likely to continue to be shut down for the forseeable future.

#2 Referring to the estimated total amount spilled, of course.

If the spill caused 6.1 billion dollars worth of damages, that represents 15 days of US production.

#6 The same reason Kimmie-boy of North Korea (and most Dictators) insists that all Aid shipments be re-packaged so that it appears to be coming from Him and not the original contributors.

#7 why shouldn't he charge the 20 billion. Hell they created a huge oil spill in the gulf. I hope it cost them a hell of alot more because they don't even know the long term effects of this yet. They had money too make a big deal with Lybia and how many billions if not trillions have they made over the years? Screw BP
