Tony Hayward, responsible;e for the biggest oil spill in human history due to criminal nnegligence is since two days in one of the biggest Yacht Races in the world, around the Isle of White. He almost missed the start, because of the USA putting so much pressure on the poor Millionaire, with a Bonus last year of only $50 Million on top of his $35 Million salary. What do you think? Was the Texas Oil Senator right?
Since the CEO’s of Shell, Chevron, Exxon, Anadarko, Mitsui&Co Halliburton, Transocean and BP’s own Ing, have stated, the blast was due to neglicence. I regards to size, its 2,5 Million galllons of oil since 62 days, you do the math, 3 month to go.

It would be cool if the yacht race was through the gulf of Mexico.
Its no where near the biggest oil spill in human history there have been 3 bigger, and they dwarf this spill. It hasn’t been proven it was negligence and Isle of white is spelled WIGHT. The USA is the biggest polluter worldwide, can you give me all your money please, so I can clean up your mess?
Meanwhile President Obama is out playing golf nearly every weekend since this started. . . he sets a great example to us all.

This was Hayward’s first day off since this began and the day after he had been removed from day-to-day management of the crisis.
In the American Spectator Ross Kaminsky says an apology for President Obama’s behaviour was warranted:
“I am rarely at a loss for words, but I was briefly stunned into silence by Barack Obama’s words during his Tuesday night speech that he would ‘inform’ BP’s CEO that he ‘is to’ create an escrow account. The president has no authority to do such a thing – but neither did he have authority to cram down Chrysler and GM bond holders for the benefit of the UAW. Law is irrelevant, probably not even considered as an afterthought, by this president.
“BP is not a victim here. They’re not in the least bit sympathetic. But this is the nation that presumes innocence before guilt, that is founded on the rule of law rather than of men. How strange it is that we elected a president who wants to give terrorist murderers the benefit of the doubt, give them access to legal protections they’re not even entitled to, but treats a major international corporation – which had already said it would pay all legitimate claims – the way Al Capone treated a rival moonshine distributor. “
