A better way than the Constitution? Do you realize they have already paid out more than $80 million in claims to ordinary residents in the Gulf? Claims at claims centers set up by BP where ordinary residents come in and fill out the paperwork and document their lost wages. $80 million. Think about that.

He's the guy in charge..."the buck stops here"...and he is oblivious or does not care. Did you notice that the board of directors has removed him from the whole deal? They get it...why don't you?

Off with his head!! A public stoning first! But wait, let's first do to BP what we did to the drunken captain of the Exxon Valdez Joseph Hazelwood.

You can hate progressives,liberals,Obama,apple pie and chevrolet but to defend BP in any way is totally immoral. They and they alone are responsible for this spill. The gov't reaction to it the attempts at closing the hole are a different issue. Please don't confuse the two. BP is liable for all damages and 20 billion is nothing for the damage THEIR rig has caused.

There are attorneys who will defend baby killers. I'm just saying let's have an investigation, gather the facts and let them be tried first. What part of the US Constitution don't you people understand. It is the law that stands between us as Americans and a monochary.

BK,what part of this don't you understand?An entire way of life is at jeopardy. It's not just about jobs or animals,it's about a way of life.All Obama is insisting on is responsible conduct and a responsible response to something THEY caused.Putting aside 20 billion to take care of the IMMEDIATE needs of these people who are not rich,who have bills,who must feed their families is not against any law. It's to take care of the people NOW. They can't survive 15 years of court battles. I don't understand your total disregard for the plight of fellow Americans and your defense of an oil company that has caused the greatest disaster in American history.

You know this is not the first time you tried this tatic...so the rule of law is important for all of us. If this action is unlawful then BP can take the US government to court. Just like when Truman tried to seize the Steel Companies. I know I am not a lawyer are you? Some lawyer will try to make some money on this you can bet on it.

And if you don't like something then its socialist, Chicago tactics, right from the Sal Alinsky playbook.......etc.

Again
 

You do not get it and your sarcastic comebacks prove it.

BP and BH are equally responsible for the oil spill because they sit in the seats where the buck stops.

We thinkers are aware that BH and his crowd are using Chicago style tactics.
If you disagree with that you are just not processing the facts

What he did was threaten BP with something more ominous than the loss of this incredible amount of money from it's investors. How do I know? BP would never have caved otherwise. This is how he got away from the letter of the law and as the President of our supposedly free nation I find his actions despicable and sordid. Ends don't justify the means.

While you're celebrating your darling President, look up the word "incrementalism" and you'll understand what might be happening to the way, I'd wager, you once understood America, and how far your view has slid from when you were a girl.

Please google Obama's mentors, teachers and backers and you'll see every indication he is an Alinsky protege and socialist activist. I posted a graph of the influential people behind this man on this blog. Look at it and tell me where I'm mistaken.

feel bad for BP?
 

Cashman,How can you possibly say they are both equally guilty of this catastrophe.? What did Obama have to do with the tower that blew up?Just because he's the President means he's responsible for it. That's plain ignorant. Are you going to give him credit for the Lakers winning the NBA or the soccer teams tie game? As I stated earlier you can blame him for the response but to give him equal blame for the spill shows where your really at. You hate the man it's plain and simple and your hatred gets in the way of any true dialogue. Your previous post is a disgrace.

You really aren't this dense, are you? The oil companies are the most highly regulated industries in the U.S. Just weeks before the explosion the oil rig was given passing grades.
After the explosion the government did nothing to help in the aftermath but jump up and down like you.
What part of the "buck stops here" don't you understand?

I'm only being personal in this post because that's seems to be the way you respond to others.

Then I'll say the same to you. If you want to get on Obama for the reaction to the spill that's fine. But to say he shares responsibility with BP for the spill is both ignorant and untrue. You take it from here. hate does strange things to people.

And about being dense,never mind.

Your friends at the Daily Kos are blaming Bush and Regan !
