The President made his third trip to the Louisiana coast Friday since the April 20 offshore rig explosion that killed 11 workers and ignited the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
Obama sounded upbeat, citing progress in BP’s effort to combat the spill it started, but cautioned it’s “way too early to be optimistic.”
The President, however, ripped the British oil giant for blowing cash on advertising and dividends for shareholders.
“What I don’t want to hear is when they’re spending that kind of money on their shareholders and spending that kind of money on TV advertising that they’re nickeling and diming fishermen or small businesses here in the Gulf who are having a hard time,” he said.
BP has announced it will make a second payment to Gulf individuals and businesses, bringing claims payments to $84mil: http://bit.ly/ap4M7Q
BP has announced it will be sending a second advance payment during June to individuals and businesses along the Gulf Coast to compensate for the loss of income or net profit due to the cleanup of the Deepwater Horizon Incident in the Gulf of Mexico. With the second advance payments, BP will have spent about $84 million for loss of income or net profit through June.
Hey Bomber!
BP is doing everything it can to stop the gusher, but there were many things which you could have done to contain and dispatch the spill...they were either prohibited or left undone.
Now the devastating effects of the spill have been maximized and for what purpose? Your political gain.
You will be held responsible for the environmental and fiscal damage done to America's south coast.
