Spike Lee: BP Runs Obama

Lee also said that he thinks the U.S. government has been a puppet for BP.

"Throughout this whole thing, I feel — and a lot of those people feel down here — that BP was dictating [to] the United States government what to do," he said. "BP dictated [to] the FAA who could fly over the site. BP dictated to the Coast Guard and Thad Allen which boats can come and go. And BP dictated [to] the EPA — the EPA sent a letter to BP saying we have serious concerns about your dispersant, Corexit. They sent back [one] saying, we're going to use it anyway. So BP's been running things."

Truth is always refreshing, and made more so when repeated by someone who usually causes me to roll my eyes.
