Someone with more time on their hands, PLEASE make this stick! (Or give it its own thread)!!
What a surprise. NOT!
no he isnt and anyone he appoints wont be..but one thing you can count on is that he will take his share of the pie.
It never ends.
there is no limit on what third parties charge for their services.
We need to keep a sharp eye on the latest Obama slush fund. I can just imagine those getting in line for some “free” money.
Are you a member of a TeaParty that has a commercial fishing boat on the coast?
No $$$ for you EVER.

These are professional sneaks, cheats and liars;
they know how to skim for “friends of government,” no one will ever notice and those that do will be silenced.
How can he say one of his Tzars is “an impartial 3rd party”? That’s obviously a rhetorical question.
This money will never be used for the clean-up...well, except that SEIU will certainly “clean-up.”
Much of this $20 Billion will end up in union executives hands, to be returned to the Dems for re-election purposes.
How can one party select a third party? I think we need a 4th party to select the 3rd party. Oh wait, we’d need a 5th party to select the 4th party. Oh wait......
The GAO better have an accounting of EVERY PENNY of this,
or it’s all going to go to the SEIU and other 0bamites.
No way should anyone connected to the current regime be involved in deciding who gets what from this fund. Americans need to put pressure on these a-holes and on BP.
I hear he is considering appointing Bernie Madoff as fund manager... LOLZ
The next step. BP bankruptcy.

BP OKs $20 billion spill fund;
suspends dividend
Plans to cut capital spending, sell properties to offset expense
By Steve Gelsi and Robert Schroeder , MarketWatch
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — BP PLC said Wednesday it will establish a $20 billion escrow fund to compensate victims of the Gulf oil disaster and suspend $7.5 billion in dividend payments this year, moves that drew praise on Wall Street. The statements came after top BP officials met with President Obama.
In another sign of pressure in the wake of the as-yet-uncapped April 20 oil-well blowout that has become the largest such disaster in U.S. history, the British company also said it will implement a “significant reduction” in its 2010 capital spending budget of $20 billion and increase planned divestments to approximately $10 billion over the next 12 months.
