Since then 0bamao has offered to "kick ass" but in his usual incompetence, he didn't know whose. The only results from the tough talk from purple lips, so far, have been talk of BP declaring bankruptcy and dumping it all in the Fed's (taxpayers') lap.
I would say that 0bamao's lack of leadership, mismanagement and general lackadaisical, incompetent approach have made a bad situation worse.
Sorry, but regardless of Obama’s inexcusable mismanagement of the situation, I as a taxpayer am not going to foot the bill for this monstrosity. And actually, having the Feds in on it would have made it even worse since they can’t get ANYTHING right. I mean, seriously, look at how crappy the response from the Feds has been so far...and you think it would have turned out better had they been in charge of the effort from the start?
This is a case of a company begging for a bailout because their management made some boneheaded decisions. Well, sorry Charlie, but I am all out of bailout money. Go ask GM and Goldman Sachs for some of it.
