The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

Why did the Obama Administration feel the need to?

Question by Sepp Blatter: Why did the Obama Administration feel the need to?
Blame the BP oil disaster on the British. (I know this is old news)

I’m just wondering why did he feel that by shifting the blame onto one of America’s allies was a good move? Politically speaking. To me it seems to be a crazy strategy to annoy your friends – especially when it wasn’t their fault. BP is as much American as it is British – and the oil platform was worked completely by Americans.

To put this into context – there was a far bigger oil spill of the shores of Britain – Piper Alpha,1988,wholly owned by Occidental Petroleum,LA California,167 people died, due to direct negligence by OP. But there was no anti American jingoism in Britain at the time.

Thanks.
