BP bused in 400 temporary workers for Obama Gulf Coast visit
Increased national attention was on the Gulf Coast yesterday when President Obama made a visit to assess the oil spill response effort. An official in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, are reporting that BP “bused 400 cleanup workers into Grand Isle” — at a rate of $12 an hour — to be there when Obama arrived.
WDSU: Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts didn’t buy into the cleanup effort. “They must think we’re all fools,” he said. Roberts called BP’s efforts “shameful.”
A BP contractor insisted that it wasn’t a dog and pony show, but a “sheer coincidence” that all the workers arrived on the day the President came to inspect the company’s work.
