Politico.com ^ | 6-16-10 | Carol Lee and Glenn Thrush

Snip- The oil giant brought its top brass, and even came armed with a top Clinton administration Justice Department official, Jamie Gorelick, whose name was floated as a possible attorney general pick for Obama. The White House side of the conference table in the Roosevelt Room was stacked: Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, five Cabinet secretaries, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, Attorney General Eric Holder and top presidential advisors. Both sides had their lawyers on hand.

Obama was scheduled to spend 20 minutes in the meeting. He entered the room with an entourage: Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and her coordinator for claims oversight, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Commerce Secrertary Gary Locke, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, and senior advisor Valerie Jarrett.

I believe the escrow fund is the “entry fee” for priority status on the carbon credits marketing scam bubble being orchestrated by Goldman Sachs (Tim Geithner et al are “in the WH house). So this is all gravy train and kabuki theater for the stupid masses. Every true liberal environmentalist of ANY persuasion should be outraged. Of course, on the local level in dem politics this translates to “did you get yo payoff yet- dat obama is da man” The chicago way. This has to be stopped. The oil is still leaking, and the mandate for presidential action has been ignored to activate this.

Also Wednesday, Obama, intensifying his push for passing climate change legislation before the midterms, summoned a bipartisan group of Senators to the White House next Wednesday in hopes of reaching a compromise on the stalled energy bill, according to an administration official.

Attendees invited to “discuss the path forward for comprehensive energy legislation in the Senate” include: Sens. Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), John Kerry (D-Mass.), Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).

I think the reverse is in order. The Kenyan is on Gorelick’s ass-kicking list. Nothing from this meeting can be good for the people near the gulf or the rest of us for that matter. Gorelick can destroy the entire Bummer’s staff in a matter of minutes. So the question becomes just how much of our money is the Kenyan going to pay BP for this meeting?

Gorelick advises to plug the well by injecting a “Junk Shot” of hundreds of packets of $100 bills and golf balls etc into the pockets of the Obama administration, also called a “Top kill” to divert boots from necks and save asses from being kicked.

“In September 2001, Freeh was appointed to the board of directors of credit card issuer MBNA; he also served as the bank’s general counsel, as well as corporate secretary and ethics officer.”

"2O MINUTES!!! This is, what? After 60 days, what do you achieve in 20 minutes."

It's wagyu beef night at the presidential palace. You can't expect him to trifle too long with with other matters...not on a Wednesday.
