A public affairs nightmare



Part of my job as a Navy MC is public affairs.  It's also one of the scariest.  One day, I could be standing in front of a camera updating the press about something very sensitive...an unpopular strategy or even troop deaths.  Any missteps are sure to be beamed around the globe.  Talk about being in the limelight.

Doug Suttles is in the limelight right now.  BIG TIME.  He's BP's Chief Operating Officer, and has been answering tough questions from the media since this mess started.  Watch this video and pay attention to the positive wording and even his hand motions. (palms toward us)  Really interesting stuff.
