Until last night, we always thought that Barack Obama was just an empty suit and a pathological liar and a useless, incredibly incompetent dolt, who doesn't have any qualifications to be POTUS, and who doesn't have any leadership, managerial or executive skills - none whatsoever.

But last night while we were listening to his blatently disingenuous speech and his lame excuses and his feigned bewilderment as to why he is being subjected to criticisms, we had an epiphany; i.e., we realized that he and his administration are creating chaos in this country and around the world deliberately to advance a monstrous agenda.

The odds are so astronomical that it is inconceivable that every single person in an entire group of people could be such chronic fuck-ups, unless, unless Obama and his entire hand-picked administration are creating havoc deliberately; developments from which one must conclude that Obama is a madman and that his administration is comprised entirely of carefully chosen lunatics, also.  (Need we remind you of the outrageously irrational and irresponsible stunts which have been pulled by - to name a few - Clinton, Holder and Napolitano, also?)

Argh!!! It continues to gall us that all of those degenerates are living like royalty, while advancing an insane agenda that will prove to be, in the long run, detrimental to everyone in this country, and to the rest of the world, also, but which will continue to empower a clique of degenerates. Obama is the most dangerous threat to ever face this country ...., and, amazingly, he was elected by 52% of the people!!!!!! Oy vey!!!!

27 All will be well, as long as we can just tax ourselves enough!  It's all George's fault anyway. When those big tax revenues start coming in, all jobs will be unnecessary anyway.  We'll just ride our Unicorns eating Skittles.

28 19 We got a pretty fair amount of oil too.Some of it is even easier to get at than a mile under the sea.

29 Maybe the Gulf of Mexico crisis is the entré for a Palin Vice Presidency (if she doesn't run for President)?

30 So when's Barky going to cut funding for the war? 

31

During the election I considered Obama's ideology to be the most important reason why he shouldn't be elected. I really didn't care about the executive experience, but I think it is becoming clear that it is his lack of executive experience on any level that is probably more dangerous to this country than his ideology.

You want to know the real reason the leftards hate coal? No, not because it can't be made to burn cleanly. The leftards hate coal because they are afraid coal gasification and associated technologies would encourage us to maintain our current "extravagant" lifestyles. The leftards have determined we are living far too well, and they intend to do something about that. Banning coal and badmouthing oil is part of the plan, because they know they can't just come out and admit they want us poorer, but that is in fact the aim.

59

It is startling to look at the leadership skills of Chris Christie as compared to our President.  Look at Christie's speech and then Obama's.  Which one was inspirational?  Which one motivated you to do the difficult thing now to achieve a greater thing later?  Frankly, which one was not political, but practical?   They should show these two speeches side by side.  My President is not only embarrassed about America, he is embarrassing.  Its obvious he has never been in charge of anything other than his own self-promotion.

BREAKING NEWS

Matthews, Feinman, and Olbermann reveal that they have more braincells than the Antichrist-in-Chief.

81 Probably doesn't matter if the meeting is 20 seconds or 20 minutes. Barry's gonna be talking, not listening. The BP execs don't have much to lose with Obama. I hope they say "screw it" and tell him that they don't appreciate him spending a month calling them liars and then walk the eff out on his sorry ass.

82 82, Truth. No matter what these Leftie turds say, we all live in the same Petroleum/Steel Culture.

83

Historically, Hispanic residents, many of whom feel marginalized by the villageÂ’s power structure, have registered and turned out to vote at lower rates than non-Hispanic whites.

OK...so they get 6 votes each...because they're too fucking lazy to get off their fucking asses??

...do I have that right?

84 Chrissy Matthews was going on this morning about how most Republicans as Birthers, and all Tea Partiers are rapid mouth breathers and hate the president because he's black. 

If Joe Scarborough had a set, he'd counter the spittle flinging wuss. 

85 Okay morons, here's the reasoning behind the six votes thingy:

Cumulative voting has been used in other settings: corporate voting, “where it is mandated by many U.S. states”. But its recent political use has been in furtherance of the Voting Rights Act. “As of November 2009, more than fifty communities in the United States use cumulative voting, all resulting from cases brought under the federal Voting Rights Act.” By allowing a vote to be divided into parts, each of which can be separately cast (the Port Chester system gives each person 6 x 1/6 ballots) the system retains the ‘one man, one vote’ principle in a certain mathematical sense while allowing the expression of “preference intensity”.

Like I said, the reasoning is bizarre -- but the guys wearing the black curtains say that's how it's gonna be.

86 I hope they say "screw it" and tell him that they don't appreciate him spending a month calling them liars and then walk the eff out on his sorry ass.

I'd like to see them sarcastically say something like, "Yes, Mr. President, we created this leak deliberately because we hate the Earth and want to kill her. Soon, all the coastlines in the world will be covered with our icky black good! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!"

87 "Did someone say nationalization? But stock-option and credit-default-insurance markets are already pricing in a BP bankruptcy."--Kudlow

I've thought this for weeks...BP never survives this.  Having said that, Firestone survived the SUV rollover thing, albiet not in the traditional sense of surviving.  Still, BP will be in a pine box when this is all over.  The market punishes bad actors and BP f-ed this up from the jump, apparently.

We have passed the time when 1 point person needs to take control of everything in the Gulf until the leak is stopped.  We're at mission critical and B to the O is still without a clue.  Makes the conspiracy theorist in me think he wants this to continue to really wreck the oil industry for good.

And, I haven't hear the nuke option bandied about in a while...is that off the table?  

In that regard, the sideline post of why oil and gas remain the best energy answers is an amazingly succinct and valuable read...click it. 

88 @92: That should be "icky black goo."

89 It's so bad that even some guests on coast to coast am are starting to sound sane.

90 I'm looking forward to using wind power to drive my car.

91 Doesn't really matter, 40% of the country believes it's Bush's fault, no matter what the question is. Doesn't matter that the spill started in April 2010, doesn't matter that spending has quadrupled, and things are still not getting better, doesn't matter that troops are still in Afghanistan and Iraq, etc. People just believe Obama is doing the right thing, and you can't change their mind, not even with common sense and proven tactics and results.

Luntz's focus group proved the division in our country, and pointed out who believes what. I saw the way the lines went on the graph, and I know who was pegging the meter. Even Luntz was egging on the "McCain people", when they pointed out Obama's lack of leadership (quoting, "What more do you want?"). Plus hipster idiot logistics boy in the back with his moronic comments. Gah, November can't come fast enough.

And yes, I expect there will still be oil in the gulf at that time.

The meeting will be about one thing and one thing only. The Escrow account. For those of you that don't know, the Obama admin has suggested BP put money into an Escrow account that will be controlled by a "third party" (read:somone chosen by Obama).

Obama wants them to put in 20 billion to start with. That way Obama can spend the money however he wants, not according to the legitimacy of the claims by fisherman, rig workets, and coastal communities. Essentially he is going to tell BP to give him the money or he will step up his PR offensive on BP. He is a thug.

While I agree BP should pay for this, I don't think they should go that route. Why put money in an escrow that the government controls? They don't even have to spend it on the cleanup if they don't want. Also, the government could blow the 20 billion and then blame BP for not making the people on the Gulf coast whole.

It is a terrible idea and an attempt by Obama to get his hands on the wealth of a private company.

If I were BP, I would tell him to f*ck off. They are going to pay for the cleanup and as sad as it is to say, i think BP would do a much better job of allocating the money to where it needs to go over our government.

 

As the great Warrior Philospher Admiral Ackbar would say, "It's a trap".  And if there is one think Ackbar knew, it was when something was a trap.

We put the blame there squarely on McCain. It was his responsibility to incessantly ram home the dangers of Obama's idealogy and the potential consequences of Obama's lack of any executive experience, and McCain should have harped on those issues relentlessly and emphatically.

But it is the nature of the RHINO that his political correctness and his apprehensiveness about being called a racist led to a situation in which that weakling shirked his responsibilities to the electorate, and, in fact, he couldn't possibly have run a shittier campain; hence, we got that madman and empty suit who now occupies the White House, an intolerable situation that can be attributed mostly to McCain's incompetence. 

98 Remember what happened just before the housing market collapse?

Yeah, we need an escrow account for claims against BP. If only we had a mechanism in this country for people to bring grievances against a company or individual to a court, and have a judge render a decision and monetary damages as the judge sees fit.

104 In recognizing a crisis, there is always one idiot willing to stand up and say "follow me, I know the solution." Very often that person is completely devoid of intelligence and utterly insane. We have identified this year's winner.

105 The allowing EVERYONE to be casting 6 "AT LARGE" votes for just 1 candidate was in yesterdays headlines topics. Its a dumb system and might be illegal but they didn't give only hispanics six votes. They're just thinking that whites will still vote for 6 different candidates, the latinos will stack their votes for one candidate and that magically will make things more 'fair' I remember reading about something like this over a decade ago but it was either just proposal or towns with at large councils were doing it voluntarily.

They wouldn't dare. They would know they could never do business in America again if they did that.

Believe me. BP has already paid more than 75 million to plug this leak. It will probably end up paying somewhere in the realm of 20-40 billion over the next few years.

Our government can make all the threats it wants, but the simple fact is they set up the 75 million dollar cap, and they will have to live with it.

America will end up footing some of the bill, without question, but don't think BP is going to say they are only paying 75 million.

Besides, I do not trust Obama or his admin to administer that 20 billion dollars in an escrow account properly. Especially when there are no rules on how he has to spend that money

 

107 "There is no way on Earth this can conceivably be constitutional."

You forgot about the Civil Rights Act, which clearly states that anything is constitutional if you call someone a racist while you do it.

"OK...so they get 6 votes each...because they're too fucking lazy to get off their fucking asses??"

No, it's not like that.  But what should really bother you is the basic premise that the government is deciding who "should" be elected.  Also that the government (both Republican and Democrat) is on the side of the Latin American invaders over native-born white and black Americans.

108

Yeah, we need an escrow account for claims against BP. If only we had a mechanism in this country for people to bring grievances against a company or individual to a court, and have a judge render a decision and monetary damages as the judge sees fit.

If only we had that in this banana republic.

that system has my vote, all six of them.

109

At least I might have found a potential career path (instead of working at the local gas station and trying to find a school that will take a non-union teacher).

Yeah, that's right -- I talked to the recruiters.  Mama Green still loves me (which makes me very sentimental, suprisingly so).

110 113 We do a similar thing in our city, vote six times in the city council elections. However, you cannot vote for the same person 6 times. I vote only for the conservatives and then don't vote for the  libtards at all so while others vote 6 times, I only vote 1 or 2. Actually that diminishes my vote. I should sue.

111 Escrow account = Dem slush fund

112 118: That is the correct way to not dilute your vote for a preferred candidate or two. Of course a liberal federal judge is always going to figure that is too complicated for a poor widdle minority person to grasp so they have to stick their big government noses in.

113 101 Wheeee! Dude on Fox News just said one plan to wean us off foreign oil is to start importing foreign ethanol.

This idiot likely doesn't get the irony of his statement.  This ethanol thing is a gigantic scam.

114 If I were BP, I would tell him to f*ck off.

What makes you think they want him to fuck off? They don't.

They'll trade this $x-billion slush-fund payoff for a regulation-enforced, locked in, $xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-billion position in the post-"cap and trade" pseudo-market— a pseudo-market that was Big Oil's idea. BP led the charge. They pitched cap and trade to governments, as a taxpayer-$-sharing plan.

Not only cops play good-cop bad-cop, y'know. Don't get Alinsky-ed into thinking BP is Obama's enemy, or your friend. It's neither.

115

  Mama Green still loves me (which makes me very sentimental, suprisingly so).

More details, please. What do you plan on doing, and what are your options?

116 Have we all hailed the glorious ass-kicking bounce?

117 This 20 min meeting with BP is just a photo op, BP is writing the cap and trade bill as we speak they are in bed with the fucktard eco-wackos.

118

Escrow account = Dem slush fund

that is my main reason why BP shouldn't do it. What if we find out that the person Obama assigned to allocate the money decides only union fisheries, only unionized beach resorts etc need the money. I would not put that by this administration. It's simply an attempt by the administration to get its hands on the purse strings of BP's payouts. It will just be used as another tool to destroy the non union small businessman.

Reminds me. Whatever happened to that mandatory "civil service" deal of his. Haven't heard about that for a while.

125 I thought Cao was a Republican. Oh and Fish I took a few of his relatives too, to bed whenever I got a chance to sneak into Saigon.

126 Hey Nam grunt: How much damage has the spill done to beaches/marshes there? I don't trust the MFM to give an objective answer they are tingling at the thought of getting to impose green communism on on the masses.

127 Question for the morons 'cuz I'm feeling kinda slow this morning:

Idiot in Chief said that the "last decade of deregulation" is what led to the spill.  If that is the case, how can BP be held criminally liable?  If BP followed the regs but the regs themselves were inadequate to prevent whatever it was that caused the well to blow, why did O send Holder down to the Gulf to start posturing about criminal investigations?  It just seems to me that you can either have a case where the regulations were followed by BP but inadequate to prevent the spill, or BP ignored existing regulations and the spill was the result, but you can't have both.  Am I wrong?

128 Oil inventories unexpectedly rose again today. Not counting the inventory in the gulf.

Juggy missing an aha moment here. Thinking he should declare the gulf oil spill as a US strategic reserve.

How come we never hear anything about that venomous little bastard Rahm? How could he miss an opportunity like this?

129
BP and the Obama admin are on the same fucking side.

Their little tiff is just theater for us rubes.

130

how many gallons do you think have to come out before the nuke option gets bandied about?

I put the number at 300 million gallons

131 Actually BP didn't ignore any regulations. It ignored their own engineer who said the cement wasn't dry yet. The execs overrode the engineers. Boom.

132 And to get steel you need Coal, Coke and Ore.  Without anyone of those three you can't make steel.
I pretty sure Obama's pro-coke.

133 136,

I'm on the far western side of the Gulf on the Texas/La line and it's all good here shrimpers and oyster guys are out in force and I try to go out and fish at least 3 times a week, having said that my oldest is in Gulf Shores, Ala. (Orange Beach) since last Sat. and he says it's all good there too.

134 You know what? If the Navy came in today and nuked or otherwise plugged the hole, the headline would be: "Military shows up two months late."

135

Oh yeah.  I am just absolutely certain that this will work every bit as well as all of the rest of Barry's foreign policies have worked.

http://tinyurl.com/2fadr6b

Maybe better.

We are absolutely in the best of hands.  You know, Carl says that Obama should be ashamed.  I think the CEOs of these companies should be ashamed. 

I can also smell another bailout coming.  This one to refurbish Syria's communication infrastructure.

139 Shrimping season opened here (Georgia) a week ago.  You cannot find fresh caught shrimp, unless you're standing on the dock waiting on the boat to arrive.  My husband went to three places last weekend, and one guy ahead of him bought 50 lbs.  People are hoarding and freezing shrimp because the prices are beginning to skyrocket.  It the oil spill makes its way around to the southeast coastal areas, buh-bye fresh shrimp, crab, and seafood. 

140 47% of Americans trust Democrats to lead the economy to recovery.

I've been thinking that shrimp prices would skyrocket. So i bought several tons of shrip and stuffed them in safety deposit boxes for safe keeeping. Once shrimp prices hit their peak, i will go down to the bank, get them out and put them on the open market.

I will make a fortune

145 Wouldn't you just love to drug test Obama? I would. I have fantasies like that.

Didn't Cao win a special election to replace William 'Cold Hard Cash' Jefferson?  He is in a very blue district if so.

149 ust finished off a nice slab of ham and a couple of eggs w/grits and real butter, and of course a couple of my famous cathead biscuits.

Real butter will be banned in the new food regime.

Who are ya'll trying to fool. That entire breakfast will be banned under the new healthscam rules.  UNLESS you belong to SEIU's new food service employee's union which has been exempted under the new executive order #99999+infinity ruling.

Eggs - way too much cholesterol gotta give it up unless you are a 'Pub then eat all the eggs you want. Make sure you eat lots of them biscuits with lard as well.

grits - obvious racist food because it was grown in the Jim Crow South by slaves.

Cathead Biscuits - Obviously made from heart killing lard and kittehs were sacrificed to the mix. Can't have that morons because the ONT will die w/o kittehs.

150 159,

Yes Ma'am.

151

Didn't Cao win a special election to replace William 'Cold Hard Cash' Jefferson?  He is in a very blue district if so.

Yes, as much as Cao bothers me, he is infinitely better than the alternative. I can stomach Cao. The same can't be said about Jefferson or someone like him.

I am willing to accept Cao's in our party if it mean less William Jefferson's in the democratic party.

"42% of Americans trust Republicans to lead the economy to recovery."

"47% of Americans trust Democrats to lead the economy to recovery." - Ed Anger

Which implies that 11% are undecided, from which one can extrapolate that ......

Considering that 52% of Americans elected Obama, and now, a year later, 47% still support Democrats and 11% are undecided, that implies that 58% of Americans havn't been paying attention and they haven't learned anything, and they're getting dumber, not smarter.  Either that, or the AP pollsters are full of shit. Geezez, I hope it is the latter.

153 140 how many gallons do you think have to come out before the nuke option gets bandied about?

It'll never happen because you lose the well by nuking it.

And you think Pres Narcissist will ever allow the use of nuclear weapons?  Ha, not even if our enemies were to launch a surprise attack!

155 PayPal Relents and Apologizes to Pamela Geller

Snip~

On Monday, after what Geller says was a storm of protest, PayPal backed down.

Geller said she received a phone call from PayPal early Monday morning informing her it had all been a “misunderstanding.”

“They called me back and said it was a misunderstanding and we’re all good,” Geller said. “They obviously received an overwhelming response.”

123  I'm guessing my options would be either flying the Desk360 or working as a mechanic, or in medical, or as a driver -- I'm going to shoot for flying the Desk360 with a top security clearance.

Right now, I've got a couple months to work on some requirements -- which I suprisingly did not do too horribly at but 20 odd years out and I'm not young anymore (heh, back when I was 18 it was all about the oohrah! at exceeding the standards...now it's "the minimum standards are there for a reason") -- this time around I'm pretty sure I'll be sweating my ass off.  I do have a couple of degrees and some amount of foreign language/protocol experience to draw from, so that helps...and I had to make a service branch switch.

Quite honestly, it came down to this, or staying as an employee at the gas station making minimum wage as a part timer and then working for the farms on a seasonal basis; it's nearly impossible to get on as a teacher or city/county worker around here because we don't know the right people, private sector jobs are scarce and getting moreso.  Relocating is almost out of the question, because the housing market is so bad around here and the expense of relocating is beginning to get beyond our modest means.

So, I did at one time know a fair bit about soldiering...and I can still get in under the requirements.  Gotta do something.

 

 

158 If they resort to nukes it might cause several cracks and then we'll have lots of oil spewing out.

I love how these liberal fucktards who want to extend constitutional protections to terrorists are so free to throw people in jail for offending their libtard values. Remember the duke lax case when the gang of 88 was good with throwing the laxers in jail because they were rich, white, and potentialy racist? Or throw Bush in jail because he "lied". Or here throw the CEO of a company in jail for what? Crimes against nature? Yeah, because that's a law, asshole. Can they grasp the meaning of "political prisioners"? and what that would make us? Probably.

So the assault and battery by Rep. Etheridge is now a non-story?  Like it never even happened?

Had this been a Republican, the State Media would make it the main story, competing only with the oil spill.  They would harp on it daily until the Republican was both arrested, and driven from Congress. Nothing would make them let it go.

Yet 24 hours after it occurred, nobody talks about it, or seems to care.  What gives?

170 175 So the assault and battery by Rep. Etheridge is now a non-story?  Like it never even happened?

I think the only way this story gets press is if those kids press charges. If it was my kid it would have already been done, and a visit to an attorney for a civil suit as well.

171 Okay morons, here's the reasoning behind the six votes thingy:

Cumulative voting has been used in other settings: corporate voting, “where it is mandated by many U.S. states”. But its recent political use has been in furtherance of the Voting Rights Act. “As of November 2009, more than fifty communities in the United States use cumulative voting, all resulting from cases brought under the federal Voting Rights Act.” By allowing a vote to be divided into parts, each of which can be separately cast (the Port Chester system gives each person 6 x 1/6 ballots) the system retains the ‘one man, one vote’ principle in a certain mathematical sense while allowing the expression of “preference intensity”.

Like I said, the reasoning is bizarre -- but the guys wearing the black curtains say that's how it's gonna be.

OK Morons I thought we put this to bed yesterday. The courts have ruled on this score over 40 years ago. The ruling is one person = one vote. This latest round of crap will be struck down as soon as a "minority candidate is "harmed" by the current rules. The controlling case is Reynolds vs Sims; a case involving minorities being watered down.  It seems they are the only ones who can get standing

172 166 Charles Johnson hardest hit. That's great news. She's one of the few people who actually has to deal with open anti-semitic persecution. It's a sick society where people like P.G. are vilified, and people like Helen "Gas 'em all" Thomas are lionized.

173 158 I can't wait until the day comes when we can put some of these mofo's in jail and it will happen.

It will not happen. There are two sets of rules/law in this country, NG. The laws that apply to peons like us. Those rules don't apply to the powerful and elite. Like that fucktard batterer from SC.

If all law were applied uniformly, half of Goldman would be in jail, that fuck from Countrywide would be in jail, Obama would be in drug court and some ball draggin cop would have hauled off that idiot legislator from SC.

No brother, we all know this. Justice? Just a bullshit term.

When I see the Mistress of Disaster Jamie Gorelick doing the perp-walk, then I will believe.

182 Years ago, my sis, a die hard Libertarian such as myself... made what I consider to be the most brilliant statement I have ever heard.

She said that the government, in it's quest for power, could not repeal the Constitution nor the amendments. Or existing law. Therefore, they would pass laws to render those documents useless. Harmless. And over the course of 30 years she has been proven right. Government run Ponzi schemes with no balanced budget amendments, illegal alien reform acts that have gone unenforced, campaign reform unnoticed, patriot acts that have enabled the gov to spy on us, bank bailouts that were illegal and not permitted under existing law. Obamacare.  Legalized thievery in the form of continually upward spiraling taxes, with a tax code written in Latin to protect the elite. The list is endless.

The American people have been marginalized and rendered useless as well.

And now we have the supreme leftist, telling business how to run their business. Arbitrarily canning GM CEO's, firing Inspector Generals for doing their jobs, lashing out at BP. Government gone mad. And a few of us know that it's too late. This ship has left the harbor, it ain't coming back, and the only one that makes any sense to me is Kratos.

"On to discuss the President's speech on the nation's energy crisis"...

What freakin' energy crisis??? The only crisis we have is caused by the President. Tax the energy and make it harder to get is his policy.

Can you imagin a news anchor who actually leads in with the truth...

"On to discuss the latest pack of lies regarding the oil spill and how it will be used to justify another communist takeover..."

Yeah, as Mad Magazine used to say "Scenes we'd like to see".

LOL, yu must be familiar with that POS ripoff that Dow ran in Baton Rouge for years after Jimmeh got that "clean coal" crap passed way back. That plant never made a single drop of clean cost effective stuff. It was a cash cow for Dow right up until the day the law for the tax CREDITs (note that is credit not deduction) expired.

I have it on good authority (employee who was there) that the day after the law for the government tit ran out the D-9's rolled in and the plant went bye-bye.

188 Could we get something straight about the Jones Act please?
It says a ship going from a US port to a US port must be US flagged. If a ship from the Netherlands were to sail into the Gulf and skim some oil then pull into a US port, that has nothing to do with the Jones Act okay?  Likewise if a British tanker were to leave a US port empty just so it could suck up some free oil then steam off to England that has nothing to do with the Jones Act either.
STOP listening to the IDIOTS on the BOOB TUBE

191 A question for you legally minded morons.

Can Teh Won force BP to set up an escrow  account? It seems to me that's kind of pushing the issue. BP is an independent company. Do they have to kowtow to Teh Won?

Also... if it is determined that this problem in the Gulf cannot be fixed, can BP just abandon the well and wash their hands of it? Legally speaking?

Just wondering what our options are here.

192 Vic @ 200, actually I had forgotten about that - I was thinking more along the lines of the IGCC plant in North Dakota that is a complete government boondoggle, also built in the 70's, and could not possibly exist without huge gov't subsidies

199 The Thrill Running Up Chris Matthews Leg is Gone.

200 OK, so I got fat fingers.

The Thrill Running Up Chris Matthews leg is Gone.

201 My understanding is that they are 100% responsible for the cleanup, and that presumably includes whatever it takes to cap it. They are limited to 75 million buck on economic damage (tourism, fishing, lowered property values, etc.)

If they walk away, Barry puts SEIU in charge of their assets and runs up a bill larger than their capitalization . that is he bankrupts them

My understanding, although the MFM stuff i have read are not clear on this, is that the 20 billion barry wants will be used for cleanup and economic claims. It is a way for the thugs to force BP to either look bad, or lose 20 billion to Barry, who will then unionize and acornize and sharptonize the cleanup and also spend the money on both categories.

202 203 What, has it turned into "the zombies are coming"? That's just par for the course. Oh and BUY GOLD!!!1!!!!!1111!!!
_______________

It seems to be veering into the "using severed human ears as a global reserve currency" territory.

Personally, I think that's a fine idea if it can finally free us from the tyranny of earbuds.

203 The 20 billion request was an atrocity.
On the cleanup, it is in BP's interests to spend the money carefully, since there is no limit to their exposure. No there are a lot of complaints that guys with yachts are not getting used on the cleanup, but again the coast guard is in charge there. BP is really secondary on the cleanup and I trust BP more than Thas ("blame the corp," "Nobody asked me about he Jones act, " etc,) Allen. BP is going to pay every dime of cleanup so my guess is they are going to minimize it and the damage.

On the economic damages, I think BP is likely to go over the 75 million required, but really it is up to the Feds to give assistance there. Remember any mineral extraction is ultimately up to the owner of the land to oversee. In private deals there are long contracts to define liability. In the gulf, they are limited to 75million  by law. this puts a cap on their exposure and makes a potentially risky venture possible. It benefits no one if we can not extract due to our crazy tort system. Also the feds wrote the regs and approve the plans. You can have regulatory oversight, or unlimited liability, but not both. once you have regulatory oversight the safety and environmental groups in the extraction companies are no longer worried about safety, they are worried about getting approval. I have been in situation (not oil) where employees identified unsafe practices and brought them to the "safety" group, and they said "but wer got approval. that is all we need."

The statement in post 85 is not correct. The 2006 DOJ sued because they WERE holding "at large elections" which were ruled illegal long ago.

The DOJ did not call for the idiot judge to violate the one person = one vote rule. Their current solution is just as illegal as the "at large elections".
