And the public is going to let this guy be the scapegoat and forgive this corrupt company.
Fucking fix the regulations.

Are you retarded? He equalized the importance by saying British [I]and[/I] American.

Am I the only one bothered by this line?
40% of BP shares are British owned.
39% are American owned.

Though BP's headquaters is in London, BP is a multinational company and has nothing to do with the UK government. Hence any speculative collapse of BP will only directly affect the oil market and BP shareholders, who the UK and US each have a pretty much equal amount. Obviously there will be many unemployed, but where there is a demand there will be a supply; either a new company will rise to fill its place or another rival will expand.
People need oil, they will do anything to get it. We cannot cast the rock at the supplier without casting it at the demander.
Why does everyone think the CEO is directly responsible for this disaster and needs to be punished severely for it? Sure he's partly to blame but it probably wasn't his idea to put the rig there in the first place. And yet he is getting publicly raped for it. I can see why he'd want to resign and GTFO

Why would you be? Americans are probably the largest buyers of BP oil, so having an American at the top would help with PR.

He leads the company and they knew that oil rig would be faulty if they cut spending to safety.

I could care less if BP died.

BP does more than run gas stations bud.

Are you joking?! For the last time: BP cut costs. He was the one who decided to do it. He was being a cheap jerk, not caring about what would happen. He even had the NERVE to be so stuck-up as to say that he "wanted his life back". He absolutely ruined Louisiana's great coast. He deserves all of this, and maybe more.
