Does anybody still think BP management are really the best and brightest to handle the Gulf

Poll question: Does anybody still think BP management are really the best and brightest to handle the Gulf

debacle?

1. They may have the best and the brightest,

but here they are out of their depth.

[TheKentuckian]

2. I'm not inclined to buy they have the best and brightest except on retainer (lawyers)

and under contract.

They didn't even drill the well.

4. This is their vigorous response to oil on Fla. beach...

Fisher Price disaster response? Feel confident?

3. Tell Obama to Federalize the Clean Up

Tell Obama to Federalize the Clean Up
BP, and the entire oil and gas industry, must do everything in their power to stop the oil that is erupting from the Gulf floor. Simultaneously, however, the Gulf Coast must be defended from the oily onslaught that has already been released, but BP’s efforts there have fallen short. The government must take control of the clean up while BP remains solely responsible for writing checks.

Please use the form below to send a message to the White House and Congress today asking them to:

Federalize the disaster clean-up and designate a federal military disaster response director, similar to General Honore in the aftermath of Katrina
Hold BP financially accountable for all clean-up and impacts over the long-term
Force full transparency of impact data and clean-up efforts
Ensure changes in regulations and oversight help prevent accidents in the future while also requiring a better plan B.
This is the biggest environmental disaster our country has ever seen, and the full force of the United States government, as well as BP, must be deployed to make this region whole again.

9. Thank you

6. Did any DU'ers EVER say BP MANAGEMENT were the best/brightest. No.

[TheKentuckian]

11. Oh yeah. BP as uniquely qualified, no possible way it could be better managed

Who else is BP but BP management? Every time it was suggested the project be taken from their rear covering asses it was claimed they were completely irreplaceable.

I guess to be fair, best and brightest isn't the same thing as irreplaceable but what made the irreplaceable if they aren't the best and brightest???

Also, folks have selected that very option here with what I think is a fair range of alternatives and little commentary to avoid push polling. Some people to this moment think they are the best and brightest and I was hoping they might explain why.

12. I though you gave a fair variety of choices. -nt

[Ruby the Liberal]

8. Other. I want the engineers in there for the geyser.

The Fed Gov't should take over cleanup AND oversight and send BP the bill. Fucking Proper Fucking Booming and all that...

[TheKentuckian]

13. No, question. Full scientific ensemble running the show not bean counters

and marketing gurus.

10. I wouldn't trust BP to clean the oil stain off my garage floor!
