That's what I wanted to hear from President Obama's latest speech. And that is something that, no matter how awful the catastrophes wrought by our big capitalist corporations, no matter how vast the destruction of the Gulf of Mexico for decades to come, that is something that Obama will never say because he,like the majority of all our politicians, was bought and paid for by the big money boys who run the corporations which control our economy and our lives.
President Obama is a very well educated, knowledgeable fellow. He knows that BP, formerly British Petroleum, caused the devastation in the Gulf because they were trying to reduce their costs by ignoring important safety concerns while drilling for the black gold. Indeed, BP managed to save ten million dollars. In so doing, they caused billions and billions of dollars in damage -- to human lives, to marine animals and to the livelihood of all who depend upon the Gulf for their existence. But it could equally well have been Shell or Exon or any other big corporation.
