We are witnesses to a public looting, extortion, or shakedown of a corporation. The President has no business demanding that BP do anything other than work diligently to stop the leak and clean up the mess. To the extent that Obama wants to get involved to help solve the PROBLEM, then he can step up and offer financial support and manpower as authorized by law. It is up to the civil system to determine damages, and up to the criminal system to determine if laws were broken, and if punishment is warranted. Thugs, thugs, thugs. Chicago thugs.
I get the impression that people like Boehner never got into fights as kids. They never got bloody noses, never punched back, never fought for someone else who was being bullied. A bunch of pampered mammary boys. No wonder Palin and Bachmann are so riled up. It’s bad enough to watch what the Democrats have become, and it’s equally galling to watch the Republican leadership let themselves be constantly bitch slapped, and apologize for taking a stand and speaking the truth. No mothers can be proud of such wimpy males.
