That oil spill? Tiny really...

This, quoted at the BBC but originally in the Guardian at http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010 ... -oil-spill

"Tony Hayward, the beleaguered chief executive of BP, has claimed its oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is "relatively tiny" compared with the "very big ocean"".

Is there a criminal investigation taking place yet? I haven't really followed it.

Obama to aides: 'Plug the damn hole'
By Eric Zimmermann - 05/25/10 11:48 AM ET
As critics question whether the White House is being tough enough with BP, Obama is reportedly showing his frustration behind closed doors. The Washington Post reported:

Since the oil rig exploded, the White House has tried to project a posture that is unflappable and in command.

But to those tasked with keeping the president apprised of the disaster, Obama's clenched jaw is becoming an increasingly familiar sight. During one of those sessions in the Oval Office the first week after the spill, a president who rarely vents his frustration cut his aides short, according to one who was there.

"Plug the damn hole," Obama told them.

"That's what she said..." :biggrin:
