There's definitely culpability on both sides. But to try to characterize people's anger at BP as being bigotry towards the British is just cruel. We're angry at Bush, too, and I'm not particularly happy with Obama right now for letting BP continue to call all of the shots, and most people in the US are always pissed off with Haliburton (who, in this case, appear to have been actually trying to be responsible, as much as it pains me to say it). But calling us bigots because we're also pissed off with BP, and telling us we should be pissed off with everyone else except BP. That's totally out of line, and shows an incredible lack of compassion for the people whose lives are being destroyed, and lack of concern for the damage that's being done to our environment.

And to characterize Obama, who resides in the back pocket of BP, as being too tough on them is just ludicrous.
