We’re doomed.
Good lawdy, R’s! GET SOME BA**S!!!!!
And thus, the tepid cowardice of Congresscritters is once again in full display. You could not find a more corrupt, self-serving, cowardly and utterly useless collection of 500 people anywhere than this pack of snakes. We would be soooo better off just selecting our Congress by random from census lists or a telephone book.
Wow... I never heard of this Ubama ally Jeff Miller, but that scumbag has to go.
Jeff Miller and Michael Burgess don’t seem to be able to recognize the truth when they hear it and should be removed from office ASAP!
When a Republican calls a spade a spade. The Rinos organize a circular firing squad.
Even though Barton may have been right, now is not the time to say it! Now is the time to cement the perception in the public’s mind that 0bama is an incompetent manager. Now is the time, when the Eugene Robinsons and Olbermans feel free to opennly critique 0bama, to dogpile. Place impossible expectations on 0bama and go crazy when he fails to meet them. Use the Alinsky Rules against the Radicals. This was an unwelcome distraction and manna to 0bama.
He's too stupid to notice that BP paid Zer0 campaign contributions to be one of his favorite green corporations, it was going to get them soooo much.
FU GOP!!!!!!!!!
Jeff, ol' buddy, ol' pal, Joe Barton is so much more in touch with these tragedies (I refer to the Obama administration as well as the BP oil spill) that it is YOU who should step down.
Tell me, Jeff, ol' buddy, ol' pal, you do realize that, if the hole is going to be plugged, it is BP that will do it, don't you? And did you at any time ask the BP executive what you and the federal government could do to help them plug the hole? Wouldn't that have been the best way to serve your constituents?
Friggin' idiot.
The taxpayers are going to be stuck for the bill for this entire cleanup if BP doesn’t take responsibility for the mess *they* created through their shoddy and unsafe (and finally murderous) practices.
If we take Barton’s suggestion and don’t hold them accountable - and instead *apologize to them* - are you okay with having the taxpayers pick up the billions of dollars of cost?
Or do we just do nothing on the Federal level, and leave it to the States and localities?
If BP isn’t made to pay for the damage they are causing, then they get all of the profits for drilling, and they give the problems to the taxpayers. It’s like reverse Socialism.
Jeffry needs to pull up his big boy panties and save his tantrums for the real posers in this administration.
No Jeffry, it’s not OK for Barry Soetero to go all Hugo Chavez on BP when you all in the Gulf desperately need BP to stay viable and find a solution to this disaster.
Barry is never gonna plug your leak, fellas. Some demon private business is gonna plug the leak.
Just where does the rule of law apply to what Obamah is doing Jeffery?
Since when is “holding BP responsible” and strong-arming it for money the same thing?
The weak sisters in the GOP need to understand that if the Dhimmi scum will extort BP they’ll do it to anybody.
Instead of agreeing with the Dhimmis they should be beating their drums wanting to know what safeguards the regime is going to provide to ensure that the money is not going to be simply another slush fund used to bail out 0’s allies as the porkulus bill was.
Guess which one has his hand out??
Pray for America
Obama has become Jesse Jackson on a global scale.
This infuriates me! Why cant people just stand behind what they say and explain why they fill this way. Educate people just damn the GOP. Im done.
I need a number to vent anyone???
Barton Retracts Apology to BP
"I apologize for using the term 'shakedown' with regard to yesterday's actions at the White House in my opening statement this morning, and I retract my apology to BP..."
SNIP
"I regret the impact that my statement this morning implied that BP should not pay for the consequences of their decisions and actions in this incident."
