BP and the "Leak"

OK - BP has committed to pay for all costs associated with the leak. So what is the LEGAL basis for Barry to Lean (Chicago style) on BP to put up a 20B 'escrow fund?' What is truly OUTRAGEOUS is Barry attempting to get ANY MONEY from BP to cover the costs of HIS decision to close down not only exploration and drilling in the Gulf,but PRODUCTION from ESTABLISHED, WORKING WELLS !!! Why not ask the House for 100M or 600M - heck, lets just make it an even 1 Billion DOLLARS - with a 13 TRILLION Dollar debt, why bug BP? YOU DID IT, YOU PAY FOR IT! I hope BP has the backbone to refuse to pay even ONE PENNY for people you UNNECESSARILY put out of work!!! What a STUPID, STUPID decision on his part to cave in to another one of the incompetent boobs he and Rahm have placed high up in his administration with no regard for the economic consequences for the region and the 100,000 plus who work on those drilling platforms. (In 6 mos, there will be few if any deep water platforms left to resume drilling - by then, $4.00 gas will seem cheap!) Just who was the person - or should I say 'woman' (since most who can read and/or hear know the name) high in the administration who insisted on and sold Barry on inserting the "6 mo moratorium on Exploration, Drilling and Production" in the Gulf into the Interior Dept's report by a panel of Experts AFTER IT WAS SUBMITTED AND BEFORE IT WAS RELEASED ?????????? Fraud, Deceit, Lies, Disregard of the Constitution, Barry's Connecticut SSN -- Just more of the same Hallmarks that Define Barry and His Administration. Oh, and doesn't Rep Henry Waxman (D-CA) just turn your stomach ? What a caricature of what a U S Congressman should be.
