Publicly, BP has said it intends to be generous in compensating those affected by the Gulf oil spill: BP has hired a risk-management company who advertises that a main benefit of its services is "reducing our clients' loss dollar pay-outs" -- a goal Gulf advocates say is in direct contradiction to Washington and BP's promises to fully compensate coastal residents.

Obama Overlooked Key Points in Giving OK to Offshore Drilling

Steven Thomma, McClatchy Newspapers: "Weeks before the world had ever heard of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, President Barack Obama stood in the Roosevelt Room of the White House poring over maps of oil drilling sites in the Gulf of Mexico, Alaska and elsewhere.
