And why shouldnt BP be defended for spending $20 BILLION more than they are required to? """"
Wha !? Where did THAT come from???
""This is one of those companies doing the right thing,"""
Saving money by being lax about safety is the right thing, according to Repugs!
""regardless of their legal obligations, and all you liberals know how to do is attack and criticize.
Was BP not paying claims? Where they avoiding their legal obligations? Where they avoiding moral obligations? What exactly is your problem with BP for an ACCIDENT!!
These threads are starting to turn into left wing hate vs reality...
How about this....Halliburton....Obama doing better , the economy getting better...Republican have fought hard to make Obama AND this country fail....need unprecedented disaster....
Anyway ya look at it BACHMANN the REPUBLICAN prefers that taxpayers pay for it and NOT BP.....
You might wanna check the latest unemployment numbers out
Bp didnt have to agree to the 20 billion or all the rest they did. They are trying to make this right while Obama plays golf, takes vacations and has parties.
So yeah thanks BP for stepping up to trying to clean up your mess and being accountable. Cause they dont have to spend over that cap to be honest
I'm an independent..but I agree with Bachman that the one thing we don't need is more Gubmint regulations and oversight..what a joke...thinking once more that the Gubmint can solve anything..the only thing they are good at is corruption, lying, and spending OUR tax money...maybe this will teach people a lesson that it would make much more sense to drill in shallower water..not 5000 ft below the surface...(fools)
are you serious???
have you been on this planet from fall of 2008 until now?
Everyone's worried about who is going to pay and not on the real issue of what can I do to help.
Are American's really that selfish, as they have become to rely on our government to take care of it.
Who took care of the great San Fran Quake?
Who took care of the Galveston Hurricane?
Our Government didn't and things got done and done quickly.

Thats where Obama failed. Obama could have showed his ability to community organize and pull the nation together to help those in need. Rather than asking us to pitch in to give what was needed to limit damages, he was more concerned about passing blame and pushing his agenda.. Its rather sad because leaders lead, and thus far we've seen no leader in this matter..
