None of this passes the SMELL TEST.
I now believe BP has either been blackmailed, or is in cahoots with Obama.
Agree. BP has also “agreed to 100 mill” to cover “displaced platform workers”. So, the Fascist in chief doesn’t have to ask congress to cover the work loss, the competitor oil companies are NOT allowed to drill, and they “feel no pain” since their worker’s pay will be covered by other than them. Hey, it’s all win-win. Wrong. US sourced oil is being eliminated. Note the “green” goal is to reduce our “dependence on FOSSIL fuel”-— no, a real goal would be to reduce our dependence on FOREIGN OIL. We still are dependent now in more ways than one— we are now beholden to BP consortium of British Petroleum. The people who brought you the country of Iran. Does not surprise me that Daschle and Gorelick are in the thick of this= greedy bastard fascists.
BP is in line for the GREEN BoNANZA follow the cash!
