I fully agree that we need to keep politics out of the discussion. BP did not want this, President Obama did not want this ad certainly the people of this country did not want it. S*** happens. We, not just BP or our government, need to take whatever steps are needed to stop the flow and cleanup the mess. Accidents will continue to be a part of life. Murphy is still in charge. Let's treat accidents and stop pointing fingers and threatening criminal prosecution.
Let's also give the green light to the people of Louisiana who want to put up sandbars in order to minimize the amount of oil going into the marshes.
