Frankly, BP ought to take an adversarial posture. They gain nothing by playing nice with that thing in the Whitehouse.

Clever.
Obama made money from the payoffs,
from the investigatory waivers, from the dispersants,
and now from the withheld payouts.

Watch, it will be staffed by such impartial figures as Andy Stern, Van Jones, Richard Trumka, etc....
A colossal slush fund.

Obama was in bed with BP.
BP gave Obama more campaign cash (technically, the execs of BP, of course) than ANY other politician received.
Also, Rahm Emmanuel got free housing, through a BP advisor.
BP helped finance the Global Warming Hoax!
I do not like BP -—
BUT, they do have rights, and Obama is wrong to set up his own quasi-judicial system here.

That’s what I think. Would be lovely to see BP stand firm against His Littleness.

Wow...can you imagine the fraud if we turn this over to a FEMA like entity....I still remember the Katrina “victims” shopping at the Gucci store in Atlanta buying $800 purses with FEMA money.

Didn’t Maxine Waters threaten to do something like this, 3-4 years ago?
To: neutrino
Yup.
And there should be zero private meeting for President Zero. Record everything and post it online for all to see.
That would expose him as he tries to lie and twist what is said.

Meeting:
Ozero: Well, this is what I will propose...blah blah blag.
BP CEO: Sir, with all due respect, I have in my hand a copy of an original Kenyan Birth Certificate locked away in the Tower of London which shows you are an illegal president, so, do you want to continue with this charade?
Ozero: Comrade, how can we come to an equitable understanding in this matter?
