Republicans apologizing to BP for having to pay the oil spill victims for the oil spill? Are you okay with this?

Those politicians who are in bed with "Big Oil" are publicly coming up from underneath the covers. The legislators who are offering solace to the head of a corporation who has criminally caused the most disastrous man-made disruption of the lives of US citizens in 4 states are coming close to sedition. The Executive Office had acted.

The only response the Legislative Office can make is to pass a law.. The Republicans keep denying that Rush Limbaugh is the head of the Party. Again, these Republican are following his lead and using flawed Fox News polls as their "permission. " After all, these flawed polls and experts from conservative-funded think tanks are stating that we Americans dislike the President to such an extent that he will not win a second term.

I believe that such tactics bring dishonor to the Office of the President of the United States.. Finally, after harping that the President was not doing enough, they tear down his work in the few areas he has control to act. As the President. He assured that those hurt economically by the oil spill will get financial assistance without the use of US funds and without the legal roadblocks put in place by corporate attorneys.

Politicians in the pockets of the big oil companies are a big part of the problem. Some are Democrats from oil states; but, the most blatant these days are Republicans. Sane Republicans in the area, which may only include Crist from Florida, have left the party.

Part of the solution would be to vote these bums out. Starting with every Republican in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida because they could see the damage for themselves but instead stick their head in the sand.

I think that the comments were completely uncalled for. Even a kindergartner would understand the liability and justice of giving compensation for damage done. BP is responsible for the oil spill.It's clear that they did not follow proper procedures in constructing and managing the well.

While accidents do happen, those who are responsible pay. Even if you were honestly mistaken in a car accident, if its your fault, you pay. For anyone to suggest that there is a "shakedown" at hand for requiring BP to compensate those affected shows that they are not wanting to acknowledge guilt or liability.

Interestingly, the same voices are those tied closely to the oil industry. People have lost their livelihood perhaps for a generation if not more.11 men died on that rig. Numerous others are possibly affected by the areosolized fumes the night of the explosion.

Wildlife, wild habitats, natural food resources, natural tourist attractions and the beauty that is the Gulf has been damaged significantly. Responsibility has to be taken by BP. They take the risks to dig deep in the open ocean on the chance of making it big selling oil.

Taking their money and running with an "oops" and "sorry" won't cut it. Anyone else who wants to shrug their shoulders and say to those who are struggling in the Gulf simply does not respect the average working class American. They are as elitist as Mr. Hayward on his yacht.

Joe Barton (R) of Texas, was compelled by members of his own party to withdraw that "apology" statement just a few hours after he made it. Right now North Texas (where he is from) is in the middle of a shale gas boom, and I'm sure Barton is siding with the producers on this (there are a lot of environmental concerns about the fracing, or fracturing of the gas-bearing shale, because the process seems to go virtually unregulated). Personally, I think the BP CEO is as helpless to solve this problem as is President Obama.

Right now they're all waiting on oil roughnecks and pointy-headed engineers to try to solve this problem. The U.S. Federal government has no way to go in and stop this spill (unlike something like forest fires, where the government is the main entity that does the fire fighting). Taking a day off after weeks and weeks of focusing on this mess from Houston, well, I can't really hold that against the BP CEO.

And a yacht is powered by wind, so he's setting a clean energy example. (touch of irony, there) But then, nothing he can do right now is going to make anyone happy. I think the level of cooperation in trying to solve this has actually been (and will be shown to be, in retrospect) pretty high.

And the escrow fund, set up less than 2 months after the disaster, in the scheme of most big industry or governmental things, that isn't bad. So I think Barton was incorrect in suggesting that the U.S.Was mistreating BP by insisting on the account being set up. This company probably realizes that the sooner people receive compensation, the sooner they can begin to rebuild their good name, once the oil finally stops flowing from that break in the line.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
