he's right. It was a shakedown. Once again obie wan has circumvented the law. Us law states bp's liability is no greater than 75 million dollars.

If I were him I would not have directed the apology at BP, I would have apologized to the American people on Obama's Behalf. For Obama once again acting like he is a king not a president, and can Order anyone to cough up 20 billion dollars with out first having them found liable in a court of law.
Don't get me wrong I want BP to pay, but I also want a president who respects the Law and constitution, and is not constantly abusing his power, and basically behaving like a bully.

Bohner ordered Barton to retract. Barton saluted and retracted
Would that be the thread where I posted a pic of the actual award after someone came in and said it didn't exist? It was amazing how all the Obamazoids left after I did that. Would you like me to post it again?
I took the silence to mean yes.
Ummm, look at the date
What about the date? It was given because the rig was improperly inspected during 2008, and was handed out in 2009, when Obama was in charge, which is what I said all along. Your claim was that the award does not exist, it does. So again I ask, what about the date.
Technically, you're correct. It was done after Obama assumed the presidency. But it was done before he had anyone in place at MMS. It was the Bush left overs that made the decision to give them the safety award.
I hate to burst your blame Bush bubble, (I don't actually, but I am trying to appear nice) but most of the people in MMS are career bureaucrats, and the last guy to inspect Deepwater Horizon was a rookie.

This is what Fascism looks like.
And this is what a wingnut looks like when "fighting" fascism
I saw the poll that said that 5% of Americans think Obama has been too tough on BP; I thought who the FUCK are those imbeciles?
Now I realize, 99% of them are 'nuts here on USMB.
btw, that would be 5% support for Barton's position (which is also Michelle Bachmann's position).
The GOP really really really needs to get on board the Barton/Bachmann express!

What kind of personally responsibility is that? As long as you're a corporation, you're not responsible for the totality of your mistakes? How can you possibly justify that?
You know that 75 million is inadequate, and your position is callous and foolish. Would you feel the same way if your livelihood and your families livelihood was ruined because of this?
When was the rig inspected? Who was president in 2008?
So I ask, was Obama supposed to travel back in time to make sure the inspections were done properly, or will a bush-idolizer like you admit that bush may have had something to do with this?
Do you admit, or do you continue to deny, that the award exists? Until you answer that question, and either admit you were wrong, or continue to deny reality, we have nothing to discuss.

Barton got about $1Million form oil. He was protecting his meal ticket until the GOP set him straight.Thank goodness we have politicians like Barton standing up for sensitive corporations.
We wouldn't want to hurt their feelings to such an extent that they stop contributing to GOP campaigns
