The White House now wants BP to pay not only for cleaning up the Gulf, but also for the cost of jobs lost on 33 other oil rigs because of a government-imposed six-month moratorium on offshore drilling.

Of course! It's a job killer and Barrack doesn't want to be held responsible!!!! AGAIN.

It's stupid to shut down the other rigs and it was a decision made by the Obama administration....NOT BP.

The moritoriium is further proof the Chicago thugs don't know dip-stick about drilling for oil and are too stupid to know it!

SALAZAR LIED TO MAKE A CASE FOR THE MORITORIUM.

THE RESPONSE BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WARRANTS A CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION!!!!!

Heard on Fox news this AM that BP told obama to go pound sand on paying the economic costs associated with the govt shutting down the gulf. Good for them. Go Brits.
Seriously though, this outright assault on BP will get them to thinking about pulling out of the US entirely. Way to go dims. If you can’t tax away American jobs, you just sue them away.
