I wonder if they charged the same amount if it would have been an US Oil Company.

And how long has BP time to pay those 20b? I mean if they have 10 years they can handle it.

I guess the bigger damage will come from the public boycotting BP Aral and Castrol (daughter companies of BP).

You also have to take into account the gigantic stock plunge, though.

Which is why I said 100+% of their profit.

No way they make $20 bil this year in profit.

Who cares about that it is BP profit for a year.

As what is needed to get what obama has talked about ding.

Finally - - the definitive statement(s) on the crisis!

Doing or getting.

Also wonder as there been any talk of criminal actions or negligence as people died in this and there supposedly were a number of shortcuts.

Also wonder President Obama if any of them were Americans? But I guess that is something else Obama missed as he was doing too much finger pointing.

I find it disturbing that a President can just intimidate a private corporation into stashing away 20Billion. What did he threaten that company with to get them to do that? Their stock has lost half it's value, they have to put away 100 million for all out of work oil workers, they are spending billions just to fix their mess and they'll have to deal with lawsuits and claims from the accident as well. What more does Obama want? A Bankrupt BP?

Well the very wise finger pointing Obama wants everything back to normal, the water cleaner than before and everyone compensated.
Too bad that is a joke but Obama speaks and the clueless cheer.

And it will all blow up after Obama leaves office and future generations and Presidents will be cleaning up Obama's messes.

Right groucho!!!

PS. My President where can I go to get reimbursement for the extra cost that I am now paying for my seafood.

Seems like the BP oil spill affected me and I should get part of that 20 Billion!!!!

This article (in German) says that the Staate of Louisiana estimates the monetary damage will be somewhere between 40b-100b US-Dollars.

That's like twenty times Exxon-Valdez, and the GDP of many sizable countries. Motherfuck.

Also, benzene may be fucking people up. Dodgy source, but it can happen.

Thowing out some old papers and on May 30 Obama says, we will noy relent until this leak is contained.

Wonder if he knows what relent means?

Relent about/against what?

Also, I heard the number went up to $40 billion. But BP might get bankruptcy protection? YARRRGH!

Well people like Groucho might be surprised that Obama is going to let future Americans holding the bag with his past do-nothing finger pointing policies.

Maybe that is why the clueless Obama should not have waited to Day 60 to start talking names and understanding what was going on.

Imagine if Obama was in charge of 9/11, he would have been asking on Xmas day, 12/25, now what was that thing that happened on 9/11, and I want their names.

Grill, what is it that you propose Obama do that he is not already doing? Giving the appearance of doing something is about the only thing he can do and for most American's, I suspect that is enough.

American's are going to be holding the bag for this one regardless.

I wonder when the moment will be that BP is called "Too Big To Fail" ?

So I see that now they are saying it could be 100,000 spilling per day. Well off the original estimates.

I wonder what Obama is doing as the BP guy hangs out on his yacht.

Boy, sure wish Obama was more on the ball and People like Groucho would stop giving Obama all of those free passes.

Obama and Biden were apparently playing a round of golf.

Wow, that is even worse than the BP guy yachting. Sad Obama and LOL that Groucho defends this guy.

I fear Obama may have fallen prey to the international Finanzjudentum. They always seem to pull the strings when people feel there is something wrong in their lives. They also like golf. Thegun wrote a book about it, by the way.

Glad that the papers agree with me. Obama get to work and give up the golf. This is no time to take time off.

Well Bush would be on his farm like he was uhmmmm like 50% of his term.


Well 10000 is the new number. They have so no idea how much it is.

So has Obama commented on the possible 100,000 number or is he too embarrassed or tired from his golfing outing.

LOL

He should have went on the yacht with the BP guy then he could have claimed he was working on oil spill ideas.

LOL

I bet this finger pointer is regretting saying that he is in charge of this oil spill,, he has it under control, LOL, he is going to make sure things get back to normal and will make the water better cleaner than ever.

LOL.

Hey Groucho, don't you just love this guy, he is priceless.

LOL.

lol

Lol now as soon we all might be crying.

Wonder if all our waters will turn into oil fields with how he is handling this oil spill disaster.

Also throwing out some old papers and I like what Obama said in May. You people are not alone and won't be forgotten. We are standing here beside you.

Hey Groucho, I think Obama forgot about them on his golf day on Fathers Day. Don't you.

Also maybe I missed it. Did Obama invite some to his gold day to give them a decent Fathers Day?
