BILOXI — BP’s incoming CEO said it’s time to scale back the effort to clean up the oil spill, but added that the commitment to make things right is the same as ever.
Bob Dudley was in Biloxi, Miss., on Friday to announce that former Federal Emergency Management Agency chief James Lee Witt will help BP with the recovery.
Dudley said it’s not too soon to scale back the cleanup, and on beaches where there is no oil there’s no need for crews in hazmat suits.
He added, however, that there is no pullback in BP’s commitment to clean up the spill.
Dudley rejected the idea that the environmental effects of the spill have been overblown. He said that anyone who thinks it wasn’t a catastrophe must be far away from it.

Well, of course... By 3pm Breitbart has an edited video out saying that "The ____ spill___not_____(as bad)______". By 6pm FauxNews is reporting "NEWSFLASH: BP GULF OIL SPILL IS A HOAX! IT NEVER HAPPENED"...(and it's Obama's fault). And by 8pm, BP is saying "We're leaving now..."
I think we've figured out how this works.

How about cutting some checks for the people that are on the verge of losing everything because BP and Obama are dragging their feet on this !!
