Has the Republican Party decided to put all its rotten eggs in the BP-as-victim basket?
That being said, I am happy he got the money and the future pledge of additional funds, however he went about it the wrong way.
But lets talk of something he has done right, he has ordered the government to stop making payments to dead people, that is the most fiscally sound action he has taken so far. And to make sure that this is implemented he has set up a national commission and appointed Ted Kennedy to head it. I am certain we will save a bundle. Good job!
Get your head out of Rush's corpulent backside, Dr. Squawks. He doesn't know what he's talking about, he's just trying to get uninformed folks like you to keep listening to him and to stay mad.
So despite anything anyone says, including BP themselves, they'll think that youre trying to cover for Obama by saying theres no scandal, Rush's sheep will think Obama did something wrong here, after all HE MUST HAVE!
This was a negotiation with a foreign corporation, whom as the Supreme Court sees it, has the same rights as an individual... well, along with those rights come responsibilities and if an individual causes damages, they can and must be held to pay. If an individual wants to avoid the judicial system, it's well within their rights to arbitrate a settlement with anyone.
Any other legal actions that you wish to attack the President for?
You're looking worse with every post, Seabiscuit........
His mind certainly isn't very orderly.
We may have become part of his masturbatory fantasy
Every sentence in which the Constitution mentions corporations, it also mentions that the Executive can order said corporation to set up an escrow.
Try to get out of Limbaugh-land and into the real world for a minute, Seasquawk. Having been ruled by crown charter corporations, like the East India Company and the Hudson Bay Company, they were very leery of corporate power, just as they were opposed to royal power. They would most likely have been appalled by the corporate rule of one (if not both) of our political parties.
Which part of our Constitution prohibits a Foreign Corporation from volunteering to forfeit some of their revenue in order to clean up a mess they're responsible for?
WHICH ARTICLE?
Oh... None of them? Then STFU, j@ck@$$!
ANYTHING to say Obama's doing wrong - even in matters in which you can't POSSIBLY make that vonclusion. Why is anyone still listening to this A$$h@t? How can people think this way? Howfa king brain-damaged to you have to be for this to sound like reason?!
----------------------------------------------------
These people have no idea what the COnstitution is actually for, let alone what it says.
I should have said, "These people are sofa king stupid!"
And then you could say, "Howfa king stupid are they?"
And then I would have said "They are sofa king stupid that they'll do ANYTHING to say Obama's doing wrong - even in matters in which you can't POSSIBLY make that conclusion!"
--------------------------------------------------------
But then we might get barred from replying to each other's posts, and who'd want that?!
That dog won't hunt.
And how can Rush in literally the same breath assert that Obama's in BP's pocket and yet wants to destroy the company?
