Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts, whose district encompasses Grand Isle, told Yahoo! News that BP bused in "hundreds" of temporary workers to clean up local beaches. And as soon as the president was en route back to Washington, the workers were clearing out of Grand Isle too, Roberts said.
"The level of cleanup and cooperation we've gotten from BP in the past is in no way consistent to the effort shown on the island today," Roberts said by telephone. "As soon as the president left, they were immediately put back on the buses and sent home."
Roberts says the overnight contingent of workers was there mainly to furnish a Potemkin-style backdrop for the event — while also making it appear that BP was firmly in command of spill cleanup efforts
This has been covered extensively on CNN Anderson Cooper 360

Chernobyl was a whole different ball game. It's effects on humanity, just as the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki still prevail to this day. The ground is still iradiated, and children are still born with defects and there are high rates of Lukemia. Oil can be washed away, and does not infect people with diseases long after it is gone.
Doesn't make the oil spill any less bad, all I'm saying is that the comparison is not fair. Not least of all because not a single soul has been lost... or am I wrong?
This guy is at least on the job.
only one?
