BP caved in pressure to Obama and that was their bone to placate him. The government will still fine BP into the Billions(anyone remember big tobacco in the 90s) and there is some talk of criminal fines which without a doubt is being investigated by the Attorney General's Office. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/17/us/17liability.html
BP destroyed the Gulf ocean. I hope the American people get every dollar we are due for having an entire ocean and its fisheries, wetlands, wildlife, tourism, beaches, jobs, industry, destroyed.
