Yeah I don't get this either. I watched some of the opening statements and I only heard one Republican say it, but then I stopped watching. The guy who said it was from Texas, so it wasn't totally surprising. I do wonder though, who's more corrupt and/or incompetent at handing out money, BP or the US Federal Government. It's BP handing out money as they see fit, MAYBE slower than they should, maybe not to as many people as deserve it. The other choice is the US Federal Govt DEFINITELY handing it out slower than they should, with more bureaucracy and probably losing half of it in the process. Neither give me the warm fuzzies. -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:321382 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
