Dear Mr. President, I have a question.

Please explain to me and others who might want to know.

Why does BP have powers to arrest?

Why does BP have the government working for them and not the other way around?


This catastrophe is not going to go away. Why the secrecy and censorship?

1. Let me add...
When will Sec'y Salazar be replaced by somebody with the integrity to put the environment and the country ahead of the oil companies?

What is being done to capture the oil before it moves closer to the loop current?

3. Honestly, I'd like to see the prez do a lot less unnecessary stuff...
...like speeches all over the country, and a lot more hands-on dealing with this enormous disaster.

7. It was the gov't's job to REGULATE and POLICE BP...
Obama should be giving us daily reports on the clean-up of oil before it gets to the loop current - and any other information that's come in. Instead he's running around the country giving speeches.

16. BP has the power to arrest. Blue Cross is mandated. Resistance is futile.
