9. These fishermen have more integrity than our government or BP
Edited on Sat Aug-21-10 12:50 AM by Dover
Even with their livelihoods at stake they refuse to be a part of the charade and risk the health of
the general public. Our government should give these out-of-work fishermen new jobs at the EPA and FDA instead! God knows they'd be more reliable. But of course truth-telling often puts a wedge in
the cozy relationship between big business and the government. And we can't have that!

I'm disgusted at Obama's part in the P.R. campaign to suppress legitimate concerns. He should instead be a voice of caution, support further studies and listen to locals about their observations of the remaining and potential toxicity of the water and sea life.
You'd have to be a complete idiot to buy into that PR campaign, and apparently that's exactly what they think of us. How can Obama be trusted anymore?
