Can the Senator from New Jersey believe the fact that we hear people being apologist for BP? It is clear we hope and pray this ``kill'' of the well that is going to be attempted in the morning is going to be successful. But on all the safety devices that did not work--and why was the well not attempted to be killed 5 weeks ago? Yet would the Senator believe there are people out there who are actually being an apologist for BP with the threat to the economy of the Southeastern United States as it is now?
