The individual words build a story of Obama's reaction to the BP disaster.

Over time, different costs emerge giving a wider picture of the far reaching negative effects of the BP disaster.

BP & Ocean

In twitter comments mentioning BP, ocean was mentioned most regularly in tweets containing these words:


06.06.10 – wants, fake, twitter, mocking, shut, ruining, account, nice.
