    Federal investigators are reportedly looking into whether BP (BP) representatives lied to Congress when providing estimates of how much oil was leaking after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, and whether engineers tried to withhold data. Sources suggest the probe could potentially lead to additional criminal charges.

    BP's estimates were probably just about as accurate as those coming from the Department of Energy and the Obama administration at the time. Is there going to be an investigation into those?

    LSU 'scientists' said the Gulf, the Louisiana economy and fishing industry wouldn't recover for 50 years. Now the greatest problem fishermen have is finding a net big enough.

    Indeed. Environmentalists forgot that oil is a natural substance that has existed for years. Combined with the heat in the gulf, oil-eating bacteria have gorged themselves on much of the oil that was given off

    Just ONE more example of Obama and his ANTI-BUSINESS agenda. Watched the sportsman channel this weekend and all the shows were highlighting how good the fishing in LA is and how the seafood is the best in the world-because it's the most scrutinized and examined. BIZ is great on the GULF coast

    This political football is quickly becoming a witch hunt. I guess Obummer really meant it when he threatened to have his "boot on BP's neck" way before any facts were known about the spill.
