Right out of the gate they started on the latest attempt to destroy America.

They have gone from Global Warming to Climate Change and now to Clean Energy (no such thing).

Goebbels would be proud.

Does anyone have a link - I heard the Daily News mentioned - to an article about O taking the 20 billion from BP whether they agreed or not??

Thanks in advance

So it was either extortion or confiscation/robbery I guess...

I wonder if Maxine Walters will threaten to “socialize” them again?

I've never forgotten that either!

Barton nailed it. The shakedown of BP is going to have long term consequences—and they won’t just be economic. Our relationship with the UK will be affected. It wouldn’t surprise me that not too far down the road, the UK will announce their exit from Afghanistan.

I hadn’t read/heard that- but keep in mind- Jamie Gorelick is one of the lawyers for BP. Talk about the small, incestuous world of Washington...

I will lay down money that the WH knew of that “small people” comment before Hayword made it. That was an attempt by the administration to make BP more of a lightening rod. Obama’s regime is sinking hardcore here, so why not shift the media attention away from him with an orchestrated move?

Watching FNC and Rep. Boenhner waffeling about the statement by Sen. Barton that the 20B is a shakedown. Boenhner needs to go!
