5. He just said that Gulf drilling is very important for the HEALTH of our nation

That's right. It's HEALTHY for us, guys! It's healthy to drill for a dirty, polluting natural resource that we're trying to use less of in environments that are devastated when the equipment that collects it fails. It's healthy to have a ticking time-bomb in our ocean that, when it goes off, kills animal and plant life, ruins natural environments, and severely impacts people's jobs and livelihoods.

I love how dramatic he is being about the costs; they are a small part of revenue.

But, hey, if offshore drilling wants to go somewhere else...OK! Go! Get the fuck out! Gas prices might go up a few cents but that'll motivate us a bit.

9. Yep it's healthy for the U.S to only get 2% of the oil that
is welled on our property. The rest oh that just goes to the highest bidder in other countries.

Please Mr. BP CEO keep running your mouth.....

7. Sociopaths the whole lot of them! They truly see themselves as the victims in all this
unfuckingbelieveable

A pity most of us allow our lives to be controlled by these useless wastes of skin. I am sure the common CEO and serial killers share similar empathy profiles.
