Does this mean BP didn't have enought capital flow to cover up for the damages ? lucky for them, it was only the gulf of Mexico, imagine if BP had more then one oil spill at one time, lucky for us that didn't happen.

(2) Nope. BP will only pay credible claims. No chance of some loon in Washington getting his way.
