Those On The Left In Britain Who Wanted Obama Elected Are Now Realizing What A Thug Government We Chose.
Vice-President Biden told the BP executives 'either give us 20 billion dollars or we will take it'. The stuff of dictators. There is already a system in place for addressing wrongs. It is call the court sysyem. The Obama administration feels no need to follow constitutional constraints.

What do you expect? The American people elected a guy who has never run a thing in his life. The only thing he does is play golf and go out to meet with celebrities. The man has no leadership skills at all and should pack his bags and leave the country and take his cronies with him. I would take Bush for another 8 years over this guy in a heartbeat.

Does look that way. But I'm still willing to give Obama a chance. There's still time for him to choose his advisers a bit better and become more statesmanlike.

How do you suppose Obama would have taken it? Perhaps the courts? Or do you suppose he was going to send Biden over with some brass knuckles? The whole thing was to the political and
PR advantage to both Obama and BP. Obama got to look like he was being tough, BP got to look like it is cooperating and nearly all the payouts will include a 'you wont sue us later clause'. Trust me the move made BP just as happy as it did anyone else.

What the hell? Obama had to do something, the executivs were doing nothing and that money is now in the hands of people who will actually do something to stop the millions of slow, painful deaths taking place because one fat, short sighted company couldnt be arsed to check stuff properly. This situation would have been so much worse with Bush, or even McCain, so be very careful what you wish for.

 'Millions of slow, painful deaths'????? lolololol

BP would have been been made responsible through the court system. The way a government run by the rule of law should have done. Instead, our 'thug' government shook down BP.
