Having seen clips of the congressional hearing on this the US should hang it's head in shame for the way they are handling this and i think BP are being way too passive in responding to some of the nastier elements of this in the US. All the attacks on BP are for one purpose only and that is so the average american who guzzles down oil with little or no regard can continue to do so without having to stop and think that they are part of the problem. As usual the US is only interested in protecting it's own backside and as per usual they are happy to hammer someone or something else to do that.

This may well be the issue that turns public opinion in the UK against the US in the way it has turned in so many countries over the last couple of decades. Right now the US needs all the friends it has it may be a powerful country but it certainly isn't a popular one and acting this way will only continue to make it more isolated then it already is. As for obama i never did buy into all the hype and crap about him he always struck me as a complere oppurtunist and political wimp and he has shown that to be true as far as i am concerned in this episode and his dislike for the UK is hardly new or unknown the man has a serious chip on his shoulder that no national leader should advertise as openly as he does.
