The Kenyan Clown has been a shakedown artist since his community agitator days.

This is an imperial presidency far beyond anything Richard Nixon imagined.

BP is paying tribute to the emperor, pure and simple. What isn't so pure or simple is the precedent that has now been set. Say Toyota had their problems today, after BP? Say Whirlpool microwaves start exploding around the country? Say a natural gas fired electrical plant blows up near a large population center? Or how about Green Giant having a bunch of ecoli in their spinach?

Once it is OK for companies to held up for reparations to the "public" (the public in this case is really the government, who will determine who amongst the public gets a cut) for their actions, not just for a cleanup but for financial harm or inconvenience then Katy bar the door.

This is one essential ingredient of fascism...that political rulers can shake down private companies, regardless of the law.

Obama wants to get his hands on the inevitable trust fund as a perpetual self funding community organizer slush fund.

Obamacrats will kneecap the BP execs who do not go along.
