Since BP is working to control the spill, and to repair the damage, and since it has stated clearly (even before you and your Pres started jumping up and down) that it would take responsibility and pay for all the work needed to put things right, and since furthermore, it has set aside twenty billion dollars for the purpose, tell me what is the reason for driving its share values down, and possibly bankrupting the company, if not to eliminate competition for the benefit of the other oil companies, which just happen to be American owned?

Obama's little bit of theater was designed to help BP get it's share prices back up again, and it worked. So what are you complaining about?
