Tony Hayward, should have asked the chairman/board to start finding a successor, flown out the next day to Florida with the best company engineers available, commission an independent audit into what happened, set up an independent claims pool, pay for not only the clean-up but also pay for the rehabilitation of the affected areas, as well as pay for some recreational redevelopment projects along the US/affected coastlines just to say sorry. He should also be giving congress some answers.

@eiredrake: When politicians are elected BY THE PEOPLE to do what is best for the majority but instead vote in the interests of wealthy corporations they are TRAITORS, sorry.

@judyleasugar97 - You should really watch how you use the word traitor. Politicians are politicians. No politician is required to vote the way YOU want them to. That doesn't make them a traitor. It also doesn't absolve Nancy Pelosi of her guilt in the situation. Nancy could still be taking away committee memberships and imposing penalties on members that deviate to punish them. She has the power. She just doesn't use it. Just like she could have impeached Bush, but didn't.

@eiredrake: I blame the traitor Democrats, the blue dogs. They're in the pockets of the corporations. Other than the tea baggers I don't know who is trying to shut down the government.
