One america is overflowing with the milk of prosperity and honey of opportunity. Tragically and unfortunately theres another america.

But this is an important step in making sure that bp is held the responsible held responsible for its action. I want to commend the work of the chairman. He aggressively pursued the statements that were made. When he heard that the amount that they were talking about discharging into the gulf was as slow as it was being presented, he knew right away that it was not accurate. He was able to give the Justice Department documents that led them to the same conclusion. We need to hold wrongdoers accountable.
