BP exposed. 1/500th of the oil.... skimmed. Promises.

by Gorette

Start with the poll. It's a quiz. Indulge me. Do the poll thing now! Before you read this. Please?

How much of the oil gushing from Deepwater Horizon well is being skimmed or burned off? Do you, as I did,* believe you know?

If you believe BP press releases are confusing on purpose you would be right. Journalists have been getting it wrong. Hard to believe, huh?

In the 77 days since oil from the ruptured Deepwater Horizon began to gush into the Gulf of Mexico, BP has skimmed or burned about 60 percent of the amount it promised regulators it could remove in a single day.

Please. Read that again.
