That’s my opinion, yes. It’s the only leverage Barack Hussein 0bama, praises be upon him, has over BP. He doesn’t waste a good crisis you know...
But what happens if Barry decides he'd rather have BP's NA division that the money? Jeez louise, talk about a conflict of interest. All Barry would have to do is find a way to torpedo the stock and now he's got himself an oil company. And is the parent, BP, still on the hook for damages? Jeez, somebody better get a really good look at the fine print in that deal.
Not that the fine print actually means anything, now that I think about it.
Note to shareholders: Fire the damn board and get yourselves a lawfirm while you still have a company.
