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?
did you watch the hearings today? did you learn anything other than "this is thursday." I learned something. Want to compare notes?
Would you rather the US taxpayers pay for the damages and clean-up, or should the responsible party pay for the damages and losses that they created? It's really pretty simple.
No what's simple is this.
IF Obama can ignore the law and go after a corporation for more than what they are legally obligated to pay, then there is NO reason why he couldn't do the same to you.
As the CEO of BP I am not kidding , I would have written him a check for $75M and walked away from the mess if he had been doing this bullshit to me. What happened to ' we will reearn the goodwill of the world?" That doesn't count unless he wants it to? BP had already said they would pay whatever it took, so why demand? Why not rely on goodwill and maybe fucking ask them to create an escrow account instead of acting like you had some authority that you infarct don't have?
