What Could Be Worse?

President Obama has been doing everything in his power to stop the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Or has he? Recent reports from the Washington Post reveal that the Pentagon relies on BP and their petroleum products to support the U.S. Defense Department and military endeavors overseas, such as the "War on Terror" in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Defense Department reports that it has $980 million in contracts with BP for the current fiscal year.

Personally, I think that we- the people, are only allowed to access information that our government wants us to access. BP's contracts with the Pentagon and the U.S. Defense Department are clearly not new information, Obama knew, Biden knew, I'm sure Oprah knew.

The mini-nation called the Pentagon uses the most oil in the world, more than any country. My noggin leads me to believe that the Pentagon and BP are in cohorts with each other. I'm sure your noggin leads you to that conclusion as well. But are they in it together to fix a problem or to create a problem? How is it possible that everyone involved in the Oil Spill fiasco is somehow related? How come BP Chief Tony Hayward sold a third of the company's shares weeks before the Oil Spill? They're all sitting together having brunch, spraying toxic fumes over our homes and laughing at the dying dolphins. Because if BP is working for our government, then it is in the American government's best interests to protect BP, not the people.

Justice is in our hands.
