Thread: I guess BP stands for "Broken Promises"

I was also led to believe I could hope for a change in federal responses to environmental disasters, but it seems like whatever the fed does only makes things worse. At least that's how it seems to me

You're right. I should have said "contain and clean up...", though I'm not sure how they're going to get the oil out of the wetlands without some form of magic.

If I get a chance I'll see if I can find the NPR interview that I heard this on.
