I wonder if Maxine Walters will threaten to “socialize” them again?

Why? As much as the circus of fleas might interest someone, it will be more about congressmen making speeches than anything else. They still will rely on BP to close the hole as there is nothing the feds can do.

This is just one more show trial from the communists in charge.

The wrath of Nostril is coming down! Why don’t they find out what happened to cause this before they do a dog and pony show?

Gawd....it’s going to be an absolute circus. I saw some idiot congresswoman interviewed earlier. She wants to know HOW they are going to ‘plug the hole’. Well, Madam, if you would leave them the hell alone and quit calling them to DC....maybe something can get done.

In my fantasy world, this executive suddenly says, “Look, Mr. Obama and I made a deal. He said you’d go easy on me. He said my children would be safe. He promised that neither I nor my wife would be hurt. All I had to do was promise to pay $20B over a period of years. I did my part. Why are you giving me a hard time?”

Stupak sounds like he just learned to read, he reads like a little kid who is just learning the words.

Eh, I predict you’ll see a bunch of a-hole politicians feigning outrage. Pointless.

By law, the President has to clean up the mess.

Obama is failing. His campaign donor British Petroleum is to blame for the initial problem. After that, it is BO’s failure.

Maybe the assembled worthies will ask about the potential for the Gulf to capsize and sink.

Doesn’t this feel like a ‘Show Trial’ and that they all, all of them, are concealing something ..... Sensationalistic street theater with lots of sound bytes to calm the masses .....
