Then axs for 20 Billion in the mean time.
Sounds like an old-fashion Chicago/Jesse Jackson Shake-Down!
Burgess is usually a stand-up guy. He’s been warned. Let’s see what he does about it.
Obama has become Jesse Jackson on a global scale.
They may have the money but they can never walk the streets alone,wonder if they think it’s worth it?.
Obama *requested* this escrow accoubt. He didn’t order their accounts seized. BP agreed to this amount.
Good thing, too, because if the American arm of BP declares bankruptcy, there won’t be anything left. How accountable would they be held then?
With the AG of the US standing right behind him. Really voluntary.
Were I running BP I'd file Chapter 11 by close of business tomorrow.
This infuriates me! Why cant people just stand behind what they say and explain why they fill this way. Educate people just damn the GOP. Im done.
I need a number to vent anyone???
Barton Retracts Apology to BP
"I apologize for using the term 'shakedown' with regard to yesterday's actions at the White House in my opening statement this morning, and I retract my apology to BP..."
SNIP
"I regret the impact that my statement this morning implied that BP should not pay for the consequences of their decisions and actions in this incident."
His statement was clear to those that listened. But the propaganda department of the Zero Admin jumped on it.
Frankly I’m tired of Repubs apologizing for telling the truth.
Do the people in the Gulf know where to file claims...NOOOO.
BP will now tell everyone to go to the Feds since they have agreed to a SLUSH fund.
I guess people missed the statement by BP CEO that any claims for medical care are part of the 20 Billion Bribe.(20 billion trust fund) BP just washed its hands of the whole claim process. Saving them millions in processing costs. Risk management solution.
Lawyer windfall.
Thanks for taking the heat off Capt. Kickass, Barton. Scumbag.
This fund is a political fund, controlled by the President...it is a 3rd world move.
The corruption will be massive with this fund, and THEN taxpayers will have to pay for that corruption. The Dems now want payment for healthcare costs from the spill also.
This is for the courts, who are equipped for these kind of decisions.
