I don't know about the, um, "asshats", but I'm quite happy with him. I think he's doing a good job. Getting a lot done.

Not sure what it is exactly people want him to do about this situation. It's a tough one. But I think he'll do as well as can be done with it. There's no "win" here.

It's a bird, it's a plane, NO! It's His High Holiness Ronnie Reagan, and his "Business will self-regulate" Conservatard Army led by General George WMD Bush!

Still waiting for BP to "Plug the hole"? What is it, Day 58 now?

Thought private business could handle things with no help from Uncle Sam?

Hows that workin' out?

Actually, I'm thinking maybe the government should do absolutely nothing? Just stand back and let the "no regulation, government out of everything" types drown in the oily, polluted muck that is their ideology?

Maybe that's what's happening?

BP acceded today to the President's demand to establish a $20billion fund for victims reparations. Who was it talking about the people expecting reparations from the Exxon Valdez are still awaiting payment. Doesn't look like that is going to happen here. Does $20,000,000,000 amount to an ass kicking?

Regards,

D-Ray

I have no problem with holding BP accountable.

20B is chump change these days. I don't even consider anything raising the National debt unless it's in Trillions. Just wait for the big old Tax and Cap machine to get rolling now. I guess I shouldn't bitch though, since I'm a Union guy and will be able to afford all the new taxes thanks to my obscene wage, benefits, and retirement packages.

Should have been an attorney who specializes in class action lawsuits.

There's 20 billion laying on the table!!!
