Remember all that blood money that Obama shook down from the poor BP ? Rush Limbaugh called it as Obama's personal "slush fund" which he would then personally distribute to the now-dead ACORN so that he can (Obama, not Rush) be the President for life. Rush was right.
BBC sez:
The man running the $20bn (£13.5bn) fund to compensate Gulf of Mexico oil spill victims says he is determined to speed up the payment of claims.
Kenneth Feinberg said President Barack Obama wanted to "get these claims paid. Get them paid quickly".
He also said he would "err on the side of the claimant" in assessing emergency claims from fishermen and businesses.
Oil giant BP agreed to bankroll the fund, under pressure from Mr Obama, after the sinking of its rig in April.
Wait. This can't be right, said Rush. There is something 'fishy' going on here. Who is this Feinberg, guy ? He must be one of the member of Obama's Chicago gangsta group.
Mr Feinberg ran the victims' claim fund set up in the wake of the 11 September 2001 attacks in New York and Washington.
"So, what ?" Sez Rush. "This could all be a Chicago style swindle and the real amurikans will be left penniless."
"We've got to get the claims out quicker," he told CNN. "We've got to get them out with more transparency so that claimants understand what the status is of their claim.
"And we've got to ease the burden on these folks in the Gulf. I was there last week. I'll be there tomorrow. We've got to accelerate the process just as the president instructed me to do."
He added: "With the emergency payments... you've got to allow those payments to go out with less corroboration than you would if you're giving a lump-sum payment that is the total compensation.
"For the emergency payments, we've got to err on the side of the claimant."
Mr Feinberg has said that individuals and businesses affected by the spill can file a claim for compensation for lost wages or profits, personal injuries or even death.
His latest comments came after BP said that its costs so far of tackling the oil spill and compensating victims had risen to $2bn, including $105m paid out to 32,000 claimants.
Oops. Sorry, Rush. That Obama is a bad ass, Chicago Style Pol. Better luck next time.
