  • Cao is the man, he has yet to disappoint me.

  • @DutchLitus I guess we should just slap them on the wrist and say "It's ok Mr. BP CEO's". He's just talking! Sorry you are too sesative to understand. You better hope this country doesn't erupt into violence. I surely won't be talking. LOL..........

  • @DutchLitus Context is everything. He didn't say it's appropriate today, rather drawing comparison to put things into perspective.

  • You Go Congressman Cao!!! McKay obviously is playing "stupid" because chances are he ordered their claims department to pay as little as possible, employ delay tactics like those used in litigation cases, or reject claims as often as they can. And according to the BP emails taken, these BP executives knew fully well the dangers when they cut cost to safety equipment, procedures, etc. to save 100 millions dollars. These executives need to do jail time and fined hundreds of billions of dollars!

  • @garciayue why on earth would you feel sorry for that guy?

  • you can see that the BP president is very disturbed. I feel sorry for him.
