Give the oil back

President Obama should order that all of the oil lost by BP be returned to company officials. Every gallon collected on the beaches, marshes and sea should be dumped on their headquarters and the homes and properties of their board of directors. Then, they willreally feel how it affects their environment and maybe they'll get serious about cleaning it up.

BP CEO Tony Hayward wants his life back -- well, oil is his life and we'll be giving it back to him.

Just think how good it will feel giving back to the owner what he lost. We'll need more than $20 billion to get back what we've lost.
