The CEO's of the rabroad
her major oil companies have testified a few times already, the latest being on Tuesday.

People need to do a little research before making comments.
 
It's nrabroad
like BP is just some bystander with no vested interest. Pellicans and shrimp are stealing their fucking oil! They want this shit plugged and pumping more than anyone.
 
Oh trust me, he is nrabroad
my man. I just think that a multi billion dollar foreign corporation that has already practiced various degrees of fraud needs their playing field leveled.
 
So yesterday Obama met with BP executives at the White House ... for 20 whole minutes! It's day 57 of the spill, and the BP execs get 20 minutes. But what was agreed upon in the meeting should have you far more outraged. While Obama has zero legal authority to seize $20 billion in funds from BP, he resorted to the next best thing: intimidation. Unfortunately our federal government has managed to find a way to do what it wants, despite any limitations placed on it by the Constitution or our laws of the land. Some pundits have gone as far as to say that Obama has managed to create his own sense of a legal system. So BP saw the writing on the wall and agreed to the $20 billion fund. This fund, as Obama stated, would be run by an "independent party." That "independent party" just happens to be an Obama appointed czar. Who signs his checks? The government. Only an ObamaZombie will buy this "independent" nonsense. Feinberg is there to please Obama first .. to address a sense of fairness second.



But moving right along ... in order to pay for this fund, BP has indeed decided to suspend paying dividends to its shareholders for the rest of the year. Those dividends keep a lrabroad
of British pensioners afloat. But on top of the $20 billion fund, BP will also set aside $100 million to compensate oil field workers for lost wages. Why is this? Well by the rules of government logic, it is inevitably BP's fault that the Obama administration has called for a six month moratorium on drilling. This moratorium affects thousands of workers .. workers who will now be compensated by the government, out of a BP account.



Don't get me wrong. I'm nrabroad
suggesting in any way that BP should escape liability for the damages it caused. I am saying that we have a legal system to address those liabilities. BP had initiated and was handling a claims process on its own. As I said yesterday, Obama could nrabroad
stand by and watch a huge corporation actually address its responsibilities in this manner. Government had to be a player. The narrative of the evil corporation doing right only under the watchful eye of an omniprabroad
ent government must nrabroad
be lost here.
Let's watch over the coming months and see how many improper payments are maid to fraudsters with BP's money. Should be interesting.
 
Given the depth and the fact they havn't accomplished a damn thing, I'd say they're at the very least equals.
