I don't understand why they are mad at Obama for doing the right thing by making BP pay for what they've done. Its not Obama's fault that the Reagan Administration didn't give a damn about the 3rd world as long as communism was prevented. I agree that Bhopal was not given anywhere near the amount of attention or money it deserved, but the American officials who ignored it are probably no longer alive, so there's no point in blaming Obama for it.
I thought India had a closed to foreign competition, state-controled economy (with a democratic government of course) until the 90's, so its strange that Union Carbide was able to have a huge plant there as early as 1984.
