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.

You were saying ...

If BP backs off paying all the claims and/or says that they can't do it (or whatever) then we need to seize the assets of BP, sell them off to another oil company -- and use those proceeds to pay off all the claims that BP owes. That's what should be done if they back out (like they're already talking like doing now...). BP will have to pay for all the claims until every last penny they have is gone.

I agree completely that the taxpayers SHOULD NOT pay, but unfortunately the reality is that BP could declare bankruptcy and just walk away. What then? They apparently have a cap on their liability and if that cap is raised too high for future drilling, then no company would be able to assume that risk.

There was an excellent program on The Discovery Channel last night detailing events day by day and the efforts to stop the flow. Funny, if 0bama's regime has been on this "from day one", they were the invisible men in this documentary. I don't think a single Federal official played ANY role. That's fine, though, because 0bamao's marxist brothers have demonstrated nothing but incompetence.
