GOP Rep. Barton: 'I Apologize' To BP For 'Tragedy' Of Obama Admin's '$20 Billion Shakedown' (VIDEO)

In the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing today on the BP oil spill, Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) said something very remarkable: Amidst a committee slamming BP all around, he apologized to the company for the $20 billion escrow account that the Obama administration asked them to create for paying out damages in the case.

"I think it is a tragedy of the first proportion that a private corporation can be subjected to what I would characterize as a shakedown, in this case a $20 billion shakedown," Barton said.

BP is a Foreign Company, Barton was just taking BO's lead by apologizing to all Foreign Entities.

LOL A shakedown! How horrid is that! What are we a nation of sissies today, cannot Obama take a page from FDR, Truman, or even Reagan (I disagree with Ronnie,but he acted). Shake them till they drop dead or do things safely and correctly.

At least Barton didn't call Obama a gansta thug like Bill Maher did.

My God! When we win back the Presidency let one Liberal group fuck up just once and we'll own them!

How sweet will that be?

Who cares what happens 20 years from now?

It's a wonder that cons have the brain power to remember to breathe.

You actually admit to asking a baited question, and you still expect me to answer to your dishonesty?

Do republicans lie to the US population?

yes they fucking do.....every fucking time they open their mouths....your turn....

How about conservatives? Do they lie every fucking time they open their mouths?

Hey Harry, Sangha couldn't bring himself to answer your question.
Shows just how much of a party tool he is.
So much for honesty.

This week was huge politically. For one thing it broke the back of the media's obsession with nitpicking the president on everything he did or didn't do. They've finally moved off that narrative.

And, even more importantly, the Repubilcans aligned themselves with BP, the Democrats aligned themselves with the victims of the disaster.

hey NY DEAN.....only a handful of assholes aligned themselves with oil companies over the victims....has the Rdean parasite infected that skull of yours too?

 

[Old Rocks]

You are correct, Harry, only a few were stupid enough to do that. And the Republican leadership immediatly jumped on them. However, Barton's statement was made on Prime time, and will be shown often and endlessly. He did more damage to the Republican Party than I would have thought possible.

Learn to read. I already said I don't answer dishonest questions. I'd suggest you try some honesty, but then I remembered that you're a conservative

If you had to be honest, you'd have nothing to say

only to the more stupid amongst us Rocks.....and unfortunately they come in immense numbers...but you do realize that sooner or later the other team will have someone say something that is just as stupid and then the Pendulum swings the other way....such is today's politics....wait for someone to fuck up,and then pile on....if all this energy from both sides was focused on the problems that plague us....we would be a hundred years more advanced than what we are.....

You're a complete moron, so I'll spell it out for you

I don't answer questions from liars like you. I made that pretty clear in my first response to you, but I realize that most things take a few repetitions before they'll sink into that rock you call a skull
