We're not saying that she went too easy on Philippe. He's not the one facing criticism right now. We're saying the original question, "What is your opinion on the way the admin is dealing with this", seemed to be about the criticism facing the admin in handling BP & the clean up.

Philippe's response was informative and important but Becky should have followed up with a question about the criticism Obama is facing. It would have been nice to know what an expert like Philippe thinks about that.

@StrippingTheMedia oh, I see now. There is a lot of criticism to go around though. You just as easily might have asked we she didn't ask he "expert" opinion about how BP has handled the situaiton. They deserve criticism as well.

@aeblasius - Good point. You're absolutely right.

@aeblasius he's down there cleaning up the oil. he's the head ocean correspondent for plant green. he's not a gov't head.

I don't understand your point. Are you saying she went too easy on Philippe or are you saying she's not, in general, asking tough questions?
