So with BP having zero control or oversight as to how the 20 billion dollars they are putting into the "slush fund" as ordered requested by Mr. Obama.....I have a question:

Who is going to make sure that the cash is spent on those who were damaged by the spill, either materially, or whose livelihoods were destroyed by damage oil does to the gulf, rather than on social programs to help the "little people" in the gulf?

I can see Acorn (or whatever it has currently morphed into) getting a significant sum of cash to do some sort of social work. All without oversight or any standards.

If there is no accounting to BP, and BP has no control, who will force the money to go to those who are damaged?
