BP Findings
In the article Obama backs BP claim is a surprise to me until I read this story. I thought for sure the United States government would be able to find something that BP did or did not do to prevent such large oil spill happening. This article states that the investigation team by the U.S. government did not find any safety issues that BP could have prevented this $1.5 a day oil rig from having this large spill. The article justifies that BP did not put the dollar over safety. I find this extremely hard to believe as most know that companies analysis problems all the time and if the cost of the problem is less than the price to fix the problem, the problem will remain. The world has seen the movie Fight Club and knows about Car Company’s doing this in the past. The opinions of attorneys suing BP for other reasons seem to believe that BP did in fact put dollars in front of safety also. BP’s main argument is that no one wants to put saving money over the protection of someone’s life. This article portrays big business and the government relations. The stereotypical ideas of the government getting paid off to keep large corporations image up is supported in this article. The Democratic support of portraying that BP sacrificed safety for saving millions is exclaimed and reassures the Democratic hate against big business and lack of regulation. In this article I believe the Republican Party is viewed negatively as it has many democratic representatives fighting against the BP. This article are linked to the view of it is not what is said it is what is not said.

This article reminds me of Bill Clinton’s lie when he decided to tell his wife and public viewers on national television that he did not have sexual relations with Monica Lewinski. The fact that BP Corporation may not want to confess the fact that they were money hungry during the incident can relate to the fact that Bill Clinton didn’t want to face the adversity of his character, job, and destiny being ruined. By covering up the fact that being money hungry was the cause makes the incident seem innocent, just like Bill covering up his lie and saying that he needs to get back to doing work on the U.S.
