Not the smartest thing ever said , however ; he did not say we are sorry for you having to clean up / pay for the mess . He is playing politics using the word " shakedown " . BP's last QTR report they had 7 billion on their balance sheet
As spill costs mount, BP shares tumble anew - World business- msnbc.com , so 20 billion now may be impossible , besides the clean up may cost much more than 20 billion , maybe much less ? I still think we should try and stuff fat Al in that damn well .
