Mayor Michael Bloomberg has ventured into lonely territory, saying the world should not rush to judgment in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster.
The billionaire former CEO mayor is known for defending private businesses dealing with public relations problems. Friday was no different.
Bloomberg said on his weekly radio show that the head of British Petroleum “didn’t exactly go down there and blow up the well.”
He added that everyone might want to wait to assign blame because the expertise of BP is needed to fix the problem.
Scientists say the spill could now be in the realm of 42 million to more than 100 million gallons of oil.
