It looks to me like BP isn’t too afraid of President Tar Ball kicking its ass.

I guess Zero’s Butt-Kicking is paying dividends now, isn’t it?

UK will not look kindly upon our POTUS POS trying to bankrupt their biggest company.

The Interior Secretary has been reported to say that BP should pay the salaries of all of the oil workers laid off due to the 6 month Federal moratorium. At that rate, Obama could deliberately bankrupt BP and take over the skeleton by continually increasing the impact costs.

BP versus the Obama Administration.... As hard a choice as who to root harder against since that Iran/Iraq thing back in the 1980’s. Hope for the double knockout.

“Noise out of Washington that BP ought to pay the salaries of everyone that’s lost their job due to the spill. “

A process that the government will happily create a new branch, and level of czars to moderate the ‘fund’.

Company could be crippled by this and Obama might just get tossed out over it.

There’s a BP fuel terminal near where I live in Michigan. I should get something too.

It is a terrible thing when a politician won't stay bought.

And Obama will pay all the jobs lost by the off-shore drilling moratorium?

Maybe the government can just give them CENSUS TAKER JOBS, to replace them being out of work and all.

Hey...what about me? I live by the Gulf and even smelled some oil fumes the other day.

In fact, Erin Brockovich is down her looking for clients(big ad in the local paper)... (ahem)those fumes made my lungs hurt.

Well maybe zero wants to load up the debt onto BP and on behalf of the “victims” i.e. grateful rat voters - then seize BP a la Chavez. In this case not helping clean up the spill would - for the Communists - be a crisis that hadn’t gone to waste.

Not that there aren’t real victims...but I don’t have an ounce of trust that zero and his hatchet men would do anything but feather their own nest, even if they knew how to do anything positive - which they don’t.
