During the Exxon Valdez spill lots of fishermen made more money in days then they would have made for the whole fishing season. Tug captains made hundreds per sandwich getting lunch to the workers. Yes Exxon is still giving the same fishermen the shaft today as they did back then, and now they are breathing easy with BP in the spotlight.

I dont think BP is in the same lower class as Exxon is. Why do I think that? Because BP is still a major investor in oil development in AK and Exxon isnt. BP has allready spent millions, or is it billions on the capping and clean up? Cleaning up the mess they and our .GOV regulatory officers created. They are still dumping cash to stop the leak and clean it up while the .GOV is hosting musicians in the Whitehouse.

BP knows they EFed up and our own .GOV is trying to pass the buck. Or does the POTUS and the First Family need another break?
