On Rachel Maddow's show this evening, she reported that Rep Barton (R-TX}
apologized to BP exec Hayward for his "shakedown" of 20 Billion by the
White House.
After both Dems and Repubs criticized him and distanced themselve from his
statement, he recanted that apology and apologized to the public. Apparently Barton had felt free to voice his opinion of the 20 billion
escrow as a slush fund because 2/3 of his Republicans in the house had
rewritten a paper saying just those same things.
This evening Cavuto and Judge Napolitano were voicing those same opinions
that the White House with Biden being the heavy had done just that. Napolitano was stating that the President had no authority to take money
from BP.
Napolitano apparently had come to this determination along with Glenn Beck. They all seem to think that the President has no authority to hold
BP responsible for their actions in the Gulf.
As I see it, according to them, NO ONE can make BP to anything!!!!! This
what he said. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW SINCE WHEN CAN A COMPANY COME TO THIS
NATION DRILL ON OUR LAND AND NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF THIS NATION.
According to these three and the Republican party; BP should NOT HAVE TO PAY ONE PENNY IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO. It was reported that some Republicans
in Congress thinks that American should pay part of this damage.
THIS CRAZINESS COMES FROM THE SAME PEOPLE WHO DONT WANT TO PAY FOR HEALTH
CARE FOR AMERICANS NOR EXTEND UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS NOR PASS A BILL TO
HELP AMERICAN SMALL BUSINESSES. They say we dont have the money and if we
borrow it we are mortgaging our grandchildrens future. I wonder how we have the money to pay for damages caused by BP a foreign owned corporation
but we dont have money for the people who pay the taxes. This is the type of thinking that personifies the Republican party. Working Americans dont
matter a damn to them.
We are dealing with a group of people who are determined TO MAKE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THE VICTIMS OF BUSINESS FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE.
They are willing to add the BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF LOSS REVENUE AND DAMAGE TO OUR COASTS ONTO THE BACKS OF AMERICANS AS LONG AS THE WEALTHY DONT HAVE TO PAY ONE PENNY MORE IN TAXES.
These traitors are determined to destroy our nation with their uncaring
disregard for our land. They dont give one good damn about the American
people. Fox and company are saying out loud that the President has no authority to protect the interests of the American people.
The President took an oath of office to DEFEND our nation. This means he
has to go against BP or any other entity that threatens us. The President
is acting exactly as he should. BP must be made to pay for the damage to the Gulf and its people. They must make the people whole.
This Oil Spill is a NATIONAL DISASTER. The same as if a bomb was set off
in the U.S. The same as if it was 911. This is a threat to our entire nation. THE PRESIDENT HAS THE POWER TO ACT IN DEFENSE OF THIS NATION PERIOD.
Bush violated every right we had and no one said a thing. President Obama
makes a decision on behalf of the nation and these Republican and Fox haters of America claim he is overstepping.
There is a point where the American people should hang these Republican and Fox morons out to dry. They ADVOCATE AGAINST THE PEOPLE ON EVERY TURN
AND IT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED.
I would that the FCC would snatch Fox's license for advocating against national interest. I dont think that is possible but I would that it could
be done. I have reached the point where all of those people on Fox seem to
be absent of any moral fiber what so ever. I get ill just listening to their tortured misrepresentaton of facts.
The only thing that they hold true to is the mighty dollar. They will put
any number of financial burdens on the working citizens of this nation
while trying to shield the wealthy from their just responsibility.
Its an outrage that these devils who are collecting massive checks themselves want to keep fishermen, small businessmen and residents of the
Gulf from being compensated.
Just where to they think that these people will find the wherewithal to
survive if BP isnt made to pay. Who is going to pay their mortgages or
utilities or health care if they are not able to earn a living.
Why should Americans have to foot the bill for damages caused by this wealthy oil company. If Republicans and Fox do not want BP to pay; then
the cost needs to be placed on them. Let ALL those wealthy talking heads
have an increase of 10% tax added on to their income tax rates. I bet we
would soon hear a deafening silence if a new tax was leavened against their income levels. Millionaire pundits should pay 20% more in tax if they are worried over BP's 20 billion escrow. They should put their money
where their mouths are.
There is no reason why BP should not do as exactly as the President has
requested. If they refuse, the President should shut down BP operations
IMMEDIATELY. Do not allow them to drill one pint more. If they refuse the
responsibility for their actions then they should be made to cease all operations in the Gulf and have all of their licenses to drill REVOKED!!!!!
We cannot allow a company to operate without safe equipment and non adherence to safety regulations.
If Napolitano thinks a shakedown was too much then the President should excercise his authority to terminate BP's licenses in this nation. They
were given the permits through the Administration and the Administration
has the right to take them away.
President Obama should begin to play hardball with these treacherous
entities like Fox, Beck, Bachman, Barton and Price. They do not have the
interests of America as their top priority. They are using their positions
as Congressmen to further foreign interests and the people of the United States should hold them accountable.
We dont need these traitors sitting in our Congress and collecting salaries from our treasury. GET RID OF THEM NOW!!!!!
