A Controversy speech by BP "We care about the Small People"

 "We care about the small People"

Really??

- The chairman of bp apologize for using that term " small people," he said that english is not his first language, it was a clumsy choice of words.

-Tthe small people in this parish kicked their butts all the way back to england in 1812. so i don't -- i don't think we're so small. and i don't think they're so smart. if they were so smart, that well wouldn't be out there flowing right now.

- Early quote from bp's tony hayward, minimizing the leak, that the gulf of mexico is a very big ocean

- BP goes around the world and it somehow has an attitude of the british empire, somehow, that this is their -- they can do what they want with the little people. that doesn't fly in 2010.

- Well, the folks here watching that black crude wash up on their barrier islands and their marshes say it's hard enough without being humiliated by bp. and they say even if it was a misstatement, it still hurts. matt?
