#1 All I can say is, BP is doing a lot better than all the companies that were tied to the Gulf and basically shut down for a year.

I am unimpressed with the way that the WP is driving home the existance of corruption in Saint Bernard Parish when BP has been having its proxies systematically stiff and nickel-and-dime the people it's supposed to be paying. I guess that's what propaganda's like these days, you tell the fraction of the truth that benefits the connected, in this case BP.

#3 Remember that it is the same man who oversaw the funds for 9/11 reimbursements who oversees the 20 billion BP put in trust. Appointed by Obama.

He has disbursed maybe 10-15 percent. That "nasty" man requires proof of harm before paying out. Can you imagine how PO-ed Obama's cronies are that they haven't gotten their hooks into that money? He is under a lot of pressure to just flush that money ASAP.
