I strongly object to truthdig’s degrading of Cameron’s offer as pure hubris.  It was misleading commentary on what was an objective article by Reuters.  Hey, if an actor can become president and set up the circumstances that ultimately lead to our letting BP get away with unsafe practices, then maybe a director can be the one to save us from suffering the full consequences of our mistake.

Does BP even have a say in Cameron’s offer? I thought the US guvmint was running the show.

I don’t think BP can legally turn down Camerons help.

Its time to bypass BP.

When I write something I add my picture so you can see who your responding to and to let the folks know where I`m coming from, I have nothing to hide, a picture says a thousand words, but if you only see my name no picture, but quoting me! don`t believe a word of it example THE COMMENT BY Flummox, please use your own name, no picture! not me! Thankyou

“clean house first CANADIAN CAMERON!”

I’d rather have a dedicated Canadian working on the issue than a corrupt and worthless bunch of stuffed suits at BP. And that’s not to mention Obama, who’s idea of taking charge is flying to the coast for nice speeches while BP gets to say where journalists can and can’t film. Obama talks tough while his National and Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration acts as BP’s public relations department. “Undersea oil plumes? There’s no such thing!”

Yes, so glad Obama and his crew are looking out for us down there. Maybe the Canadians should come in and save us, at least then we’d have a chance.

“IF YOU DONT care where they come from and you don`t care who they are”! Sucker born every day, with technology every second! your going to invite your own ignorance of not knowing! Its what you don`t know that ends up killing you, Know who you are then you might get to know others but when you want something done, do it yourself!!! NOT TO KNOW IS YOUR GREATEST INFLICTION OF A I DON^T CARE MIND FRAME. IF everyone cleaned their own homes cities countries, J. Cameron would be doing something about the HELL WHOLE TAR PITS OF CANADA, America take care of your oil spill and don`t get pushed around by BP and others like! I can`t tell my kids no smoking while I have a cigarette in my mouth, I can`t tell you to be heallth while I`m sucking down a Cokacola and Big MAC, America lost its brains to fifty years of fast foods with sodas. Now a Prozac generation who knows little! all FOR THE MONEY! HONEY! I CARE WHERE THEY COME FROM AND WHO THEY ARE; HISTORY SHOWS WE ARE ALWAYS FOOLED BY OUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE; KNOWLEDGE STILL SETS US FREE; WELL MAY BE NOT YOU!

I think BP wants to share as little information as possibly about this situation, they are already in a very bad situation, and they will have to answer for it in court.

Everytime I think I can’t be more pissed off or
outraged, something like this comes up to add more
insult to injury.

The bottom line is, we DO NEED SOME REALLY SMART PEOPLE
who know what the hell they’re doing, and we don’t care
where they come from, or who they are!!

Don`t you just love these attention greedy people Come now CANADIAN JAMES GO HOME CLEAN UP THE TAR PITS OF ALBERTA, as bad as the oil spill STOP KILLING BABY SEALS AND MOST OF ALL, don`t tell others when your own home is a MESS. JAMES GO HOME CLEAN UP CANADA FIRST THAT^S WHERE YOUR FROM CLEAN YOUR HOUSE BEFORE CHECKING OTHER HOUSES James the Hypocrit, James the money man, clean Canada first. “IF you live in a glass house, throw no stones”. I`m a Canadian I can say this to James Cameron, like the primeminister of England ARE YOU FEELING A LITTLE ROYAL Cameron or just FOR THE MONEY! ATTENTION, whats money without attention-lonely I guess, clean house first CANADIAN CAMERON!
