Obama has given the green-light to have DOJ, the States, and liability lawyers bankrupt and dismember BP
And send their employees to the Unemployement lines.
Exactly: and if BP - with all its expertise that was talked up last week - isn't going to be getting any credit for helping out, then they may as well pull itself back into a shell and await the inevitable. BP is willing to do everything it can IF they are allowed to survive -- but threatening the bosses will not engender good will or cooperation.
We will have to endure the pollution of the airways by endless commercials aired by law firms trolling for new “class action” clients whose “lives were destroyed by the negligence & horror of the BP oil leak”.
These bottom feeder lawyers ads will be around long after all of the oil has been reclaimed, recovered, evaporated, eaten by bacteria, etc.
If I were a “good old boy” with a trawler in the Gulf, I’d be out with a boom, a big centrifugal pump and a garbage scow barge just raking in all that black gold. Then I’d send FEMA & BP bills for expenses of the cleanup effort (hey, someone might pay up :-) ).
Finally, I’d sell the oil, laughing all the way to the bank.
