Don't boycott BP
It makes absolutely no sense to boycott BP. The purpose of a boycott is generally to get a business entity to change their practices. I don't want BP to stop producing fuel. If you consider how many extraction activities they have going globally and how complex each must be, I'd say their safety record is pretty good. Anyone who thinks BP doesn't want this leak stopped more than anyone else in the entire world is wrong. They have more to lose than anyone and I can guarantee they are doing everything within their power to stop it as soon as possible. Don't boycott BP, it hurts Americans if you do. Remember, many if not most of the BP stations are owned by hardworking, risk-taking Americans trying to make a living.

Obama and BP
The hypocrisy of just about ALL politicians separating themselves from their donors once the donors fall out of grace with the voters is ridiculous. But that's not my point. I'm absolutely disgusted at Obama's lack of Presidential behavior. He is a vulgar, petty man. He uses language befitting a fifth grader. Not only in the specific words he choses but in their meaning as well. What a poor example of leadership for our children.
