Gulf Oil Spill 2010

Yeah, and quite frankly, I don't care if either take a break. They are the #1 and #2 most scrutinized people on earth. It takes some serious character not to crack under that kind of pressure. I'll give that to both Obama and Hayward.

The only "outrage" (and I hesitate to use that word, more like annoyance) I have is the media's coverage of this "Yacht-gate". He's the CEO, he's not an engineer. What use is he standing around and doing nothing? Neither him or Obama can do anything to expedite this process.

So really the criticism of either man is sensationalism at best. What CNN, Fox, and MSNBC have been putting out there is absolute trash. One blames BP, one blames Obama, and one doesn't know what the hell is going on so they just talk and act outraged at everything.

#1 has, for all intents and purposes, been relieved of his duties. Were we so lucky with #2. :rolleyes:

Costner to the rescue.

http://fieldnotes.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/06/18/4530991-costners-dream-machines-debut

Costner's company, Ocean Therapy Solutions, signed a contract with BP to provide 32 units expected to work in the next 60 days.

BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles would not disclose financial details.

Costner said each machine, called a V20, can separate 210,000 gallons of oily water a day.

He has been trying to employ the technology designed by his company for the past 17 years, and has invested more than $20 million of his own money in its development.

The technology was developed two decades ago by a researcher at the Idaho National Laboratory by scientist David Meikrantz, who initially sought to use the machines to separate the components of nuclear substances.

15 minutes of fame for someone, they repaint a bridge with a message for BP, cool time lapse, especially when the cop car rolls up.
