Here's this interesting news story from Politico about the anger within the White House towards BP: The White House has become increasingly angry with BP, which initially assured administration officials the spill would be no greater than 1,000 barrels per day; estimates now range from 12,000 to 19,000 barrels a day. And Obama’s team was incensed that the company kept them in the dark for a half-day last week after suspending their unsuccessful "Top Kill" efforts to plus the leak with mud and dross. I didn't know that the government was kept in the dark by BP for a half-day after the Top Kill effort initially was suspended. This is confusing though, because it's been said that there are federal scientists and officials right there in the control room. How can the White House be kept in the dark for a half-day? How is that possible?
