Another reason: Crisis not 'wasted': Obama to nationalize oil companies?

bp will not get a bailout because the American People and the South will revolt... again. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH KENYAN... BLOCK THE DAMNED HOLE AND STFU!

Two things:

First off, if we bail out a foreign company that polluted our Gulf Coast, the Dems really might lose 100 seats!

Secondly, “nationalization” if that is his goal presents a different problem. An international one. BP is not, of course, a US company. More importantly, its shares are widely held in the institutional pensions of the UK citizens. Widely mentioned last week, when BP shares took a hit, was the effect on the pension funds of the UK citizens. An attempt at nationalization could provoke an international “incident” with an important ally, both diplomatic and military.

Something like that won’t end well, I promise.

Yup. Just more crony capitalism - the only sort that liberals will tolerate (mainly because it allows them to collect rents on their control over the legislative and executive branches of government) - of the sort that brought us the GM and Chrysler thefts, and the banking boondoggles. Of course, not to let a good crisis go to waste, the fascists, I mean democrats, will not just bailout BP, they'll seize the entire oil/energy industry on the pretense of protecting our collective "benefit" - in other words, we'll be paying more protection money to the left-wing mafia.

Cool. Then the CEO can get his life back, and all the riches that go with it.

[ken21]

you never hear the oil co’s complain about not drilling,

nor not new refineries.

instead, bp has published ads for years about global warming

and alternative energies.

[TennTuxedo]

If, Zero could do it, he would have already done it. BP is is far too big and strong for the Chicago gangster to take over.
