Have we already forgotten when Occidental Oil's Piper Alpha platform exploded in the North Sea in 1988, killing 167 people; or when Union Carbide's gas plant in Bhopal, India, poisoned an entire town in 1984, resulting in the loss of thousands of lives and the establishment of a poisonous legacy that remains to this day.

Both of these companies were important contributors to the local economy, just as BP has been to America's. Roughly a third of BP's operations, shareholders and personnel are actually American.

Why is Obama taking such a hardline against BP?

Should the Obama administration freeze all assets of BP till the oil can be stopped and cleaned up preventing them from saying we are Bankrupt so you fix it?

Some might argue that the Obama Administration had a "shake down" of BP by requiring them to pony up billion for the gulf oil spill clean up efforts. So...... what happens if the clean up only ends up costing billion? Will Obama give BP back the balance? Or is this going to cost BP billion no matter what?
