Now, don’t get me wrong BP is at total fault for the spill and deserves some blame for clean up and containment; but BP; nor all oil companies in the gulf put together have the resources or authority to minimize the environmental effects.

As you probably know, the president was in tampa touting a high speed train that would go from tampa to Orlando. Now, I’m not going to go into where the money, 3.5 billion; would be better spent, spent at all, or if it will even be built.
