BP is not the equal of the United States government. And this president needs to tell BP: I'm your daddy. I'm in charge. You're going to do what we say. You're a multinational company that is greedy and you may be guilty of criminal…

I think that, you know, one of the things this president is going to have to do is, he's going to have launch a massive criminal investigation.

We're not going away, Anderson. Get used to us because we're going to be in their face, like we're going to be on them like gravy on rice.

You know what? It's -- we're not going away, Anderson. We're not. They -- get used to us, because we're going to be in their face, like -- we're going to be on them like gravy on rice.

No, not at all. It would be very consistent with BP's behavior. They lie about everything and they fake everything, so I'm not surprised at all.

And I think that's a real positive step in the right direction, saying that he's not going to abandon Louisiana and that he's committed to it, and he's committed beyond the time the cameras are here.

I think it's criminal. And I think that, you know, one of the things this President is going to have to do is he's going to have launch a massive criminal investigation.

People, it's not going to be -- it's not going to be good at all, and I'm -- I'm very -- I spoke to LSU law graduates today. And people don't feel like there's a system for recompense, that there's a system where justice can be meted out.

I think the Secretary of the Interior was precisely right.

If he spent some time understanding who we are and what we're about and the things that we love. And we're different people. That doesn't mean that we're bad. I think we're the best people in the country.

We're not going away, Anderson. We're not. They -- get used to us, because we're going to be in their face, like -- we're going to be on them like gravy on rice.

It would be very consistent with BP's behavior. They lie about everything and they fake everything, so I'm not surprised at all.

The president did say the right things today. And I think that's a real positive step in the right direction, saying that he's not going to abandon Louisiana.

If they triple the number of people that they had devoted to cleaning up where they were at the mouth of the river where we went for three hours, you know how many people would be out there? Zero, none, nada, because there wasn't a single…

They're sick of it. They're sick of being second.

If this would have happened in Nantucket, if this would have happened in San Francisco Bay, if this would have happened in the Chesapeake Bay, if this would have happened in Lake Michigan, the response would have been entirely different.

If this thing goes on here for another, you know, week, things are going to get dicey down here.

I think the secretary of interior was precisely right.

We're different people here in South Louisiana. We want our culture. And it's being destroyed, and it's been destroyed over a period of time, and we're sick of it.

Ms. Obama is doing this wonderful thing about healthy eating. The healthiest food in the world is produced off the Louisiana coast: shrimp, oysters, crab, fish.

David Axelrod, Robert Gibbs, come down here. I'll take you around. We'll take you out and show you. We don't want to be mad. We want you to help us.

We want you to help us.

We need subpoenas in there right away. We need to get people under oath. We need to get people to start accepting pleas and we -- we -- that's the only way.

I tell you what, you issue some grand jury subpoena, it will get fixed pronto.

I don't think that -- that the people in Washington really understand that.
