Guys …

I take issue with many of the decisions being made right now as regards this blowout, some being made by BP, at least one by the President, and several by some of the other government agencies involved.

But I’m asking you please don’t drag me into a discussion about the President’s motives or anything along those lines. I’m not gonna do it. I have no reason to believe the President wants to ruin anybody’s life.

I think it’s very possible the President, like the public, is getting bad information and bad advice, and I hope he begins to realize it pretty soon, and make whatever changes he needs to make to get better information. I was listening to CNN earlier today, somebody reporting from the Gulf area, and - OUCH! - they were so full of misinformation and half-pieces of information it was amazing. I don’t know how anybody can keep up with what’s REALLY happening, what with all the misunderstanding that I hear.
