Slick Talk

Containment, Tony Hayward? Is that what you just said? How about you push that word "containment" toward all of those fish and other marine life that are dying from your product. Better yet, why don't you tell that to my people in New Orleans. You know the ones who make their livings fishing and shrimping in those otherwise beautiful waters. Or how about their wives and children at home who have to run from your oil like it's a rabid dog in the neighborhood. I mean the rain is on its way and as though the destruction of hurricane season isn't enough, you are okay with adding another worry. You shrug on tv and give a "well, at least this and this didn't happen" approach. My kings and queens of New Orleans are just getting their kingdom back from Katrina. But you are cool with the sick pelicans on Bird Island and the empty and discolored fishing waters. You're cool with hiding behind the skirt of the U.S. Government and sidestepping the questions we ask.

Now I do live in Florida but I am pissed about the "Hey, no oil here" approach this state is taking too. I want Florida to get off its ass and help Louisiana to stay as clean as we are. Use some of the money you're dumping into commercials to say that we're fine so that people will come here to add to the aid there. WE ARE THE COAST. And even though state lines divide us, we should have an allegiance.

BP needs to live by the playroom rules that all of our mother's taught us. "If you mess it up, you clean it up." Save our coast and wetlands.
