haha What are the gonna do, declare war. Besides most will get to keep their jobs, they will just be under new management. The government and media have the power to let BP live or die like the old Roman empires that sticking their thumbs up or down to decide the fate of gladiator. Just wait until the endless stories of livelihoods lost. The people that tell Obama what to say know what his words do.
The simple fact is oil finds have been dwindling since the mid sixties and at this point the majors have to shrink or consolidate. BP is going to get eaten alive.
The brits can go cry into their tea and crumpets and join the tea-baggers
