It could have been worse for BP. If this was in Arizona, it could have cost them $25/$30 an hour...

(CNN) -- A Gulf Coast official accused BP of shipping workers into Grand Isle, Louisiana, for President Barack Obama's visit to the oil-stricken area Friday and sending them away once the president left the region.
Early Friday morning, "a number of buses brought in approximately 300 to 400 workers that had been recruited all week," Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts told CNN's "Situation Room."
Roberts said the workers were offered $12 an hour to come out to the scene at Grand Isle and work in what he called a "dog and pony show."
But, when Obama departed, so did the workers, he said, adding that he's never seen more than 20 workers at the Grand Isle cleanup site since the effort started.
Roberts told CNN's Anderson Cooper the hundreds of workers who showed up early Friday wouldn't speak to local emergency management officials.
"The sheriff's office did manage to get one person to speak with them and that individual said they were hired yesterday and told to report to a staging area at 7:30 this morning," Roberts added. "It just doesn't add up."

Obama loves photo ops.
Too bad they didn't give them doctor's coats, I hear that bumps up the hourly wage an extra $5 an hour.
i thought they were implying that BP was pulling a dog and pony show to fool Obama?
jack's not very bright so you have to excuse her
So they say.........
Epic backtrack fail to cover for epic lack of understanding of the situation.
You know, I don't care what the truth of this matter is. We all know it is normal to "put on a show" for anyone important.
ing crybabies, making an issue of this.
Par for the course.
Why do you care that it is normal for anyone to put on a show?
This is a waste of space. We all know this to be human nature.
I would be surprised if they didn't. Then it might be worth talking about.
I though you didn't care what the truth of the matter is.
