I’m guessing they got sick of the shakedowns.

Well this ought to result in another “unexpected” jump in jobless numbers.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

Is it clean?

[Howie66]

My guess is that they should have done this a few months ago.

[Drango]

That will help the unemployment rate...

They still have some people working on the rigs, but they did let go a lot of people today.

I have a friend working on the main platform and he said today that they had let all the guys that worked for that Dick Cheney company go today, but others are still there working.

Where’s the 20 billion??

About time. What good are they standing under a tent on the beach being followed by a portable toilet and no oil to clean up?

[Recovering_Democrat]

Time for Charlie Crist to grandstand.

[Yo-Yo]

How much oil hit the panhandle beaches?

[RoadKingSE]

You know the BP slot machine is paying off big when all the shrimpers are driving around in new F-250 pickup trucks and paying cash for overhauling the diesel plants on their boats.

[Enchante]

is this any surprise?

is there any good reason for the annoying all-caps headline?

have these crews had anything to “clean up” lately?

[FlingWingFlyer]

It appears that BP has been watching the polls and have figured out that Barry and his ‘RATS are about to take some serious hits in November. Not only are little dictators like Iran’s MiniMe Hitler no longer afraid of the U.S., “Big Oil” isn’t impressed anymore either. LOL!

Obama’s little swim in St Andrews bay was meant to send a message to the Coast Guard that the crisis was over. Put me out of a job.

[Liberty Valance]

bttt

[Eagle Eye]

My personal observation of the clean up crews was that this was a big PR stunt and not required.

It was a sham. Glad the contracts are over.

Cleanup at Johnson Beach will be taken over by Eagle-SWS, the Panama City-based contractor currently in charge of oil cleanup at Pensacola Beach and Fort Pickens.
