Gem of the day

What did Bob Dudley say when he gave his first public speech since assuming the reigns at BP, in an address to the CBI yesterday? Well, the usual suspects--BP doesn't plan to back away from Gulf of Mexico or the US markets in general, etc. But hidden inside the speech were two gems:

Gem #1: "I believe it would be fair to say that BP now has more points of contact across the US government than any other company." 

Gem #2: "From a terrible accident and environmental spill grew a corporate crisis that threatened the very existence of our company – a major loss of value and loss of trust."

A 'corporate crisis' leading to a major loss of trust? Right.
