Wasn't there an employee, a manager I believe, who gave an interview early on saying that pieces of rubber or some such were coming out that morning? Said that he notified BP & Transcon execs whil in a meeting.... BP made the decision to continue drilling. (something like that?)

Clearly this is all Obama's fault because those who loved George Jr and recite Limbaugh said so. After all, anyone who voted for George Jr must be honest. "Mission Accomplished".
Seriously? Where did that come from? This is BP's fault - Period.
