BP is a private, non-government entity,

and is therefore, in the minds of fascists like 0bama and those he surrounds himself with,
“the enemy”.

[Col Frank Slade]

Correct. They will attempt to deflect all negative political fallout by agressively threatening BP.

They know big trouble looms in November, they have to contain this, by litigation and bellicose rhetoric to play to the moonbat base.

Problem - Moonbat base can't save them in Nov if Independents continue to flee.
