the emptiness of it all

so this incompetent president uses his bully-technique (which btw can no longer be used in schools, yet bam-bam, once again, pulls his "do as i say, not as i do") to shakedown bp for $20 billion - like the money is the biggest issue here? I thought plugging the hole was the biggest issue, first and foremost.

bp is well aware that they are going to be socked to high heaven with lawsuits - perhaps to the point of bankruptcy - and don't forget 40% of those shareholders are AMERICANS - moms & pops, employees, etc., invested for their retirements and pensions. so, it would be wise not get to far down bp's throat.

if anyone thinks that the $20 billion shakedown by this unqualified president is going to do anything to stop the oil leak, they are nuts. he's just making his l'il nest egg to abuse his power even more - and we will probably see much of these monies used/abused or the november elections - which have nothing to do with the oil leak.

if anyone thinks that the people of the gulf coast that are suffering from this disaster, will see one thin dime of that $20 billion, they had better do some homework. chances are pr'E good that they will NEVER see a dime of that money and IF they do, it will probably not be until the year 2013 or 2014. those that are damaged and broken because of this oil spill will have to go through all the fucking federal red tape at their own expense to recover a pittance amount, if any, of the $20 billion.

but dear ol' bam-bam - all he has to do is pull one of his thug bully tantrums and stomp his feet to bypass federal law. i'll betcha that will not work for the folks that are suffering from the effects of the disaster and who are the ones that really need it.

""We'll decide who will get paid," he promised, saying "we're going to get them paid immediately. [...] A matter of days." really? "a matter of days" ??? hmm, i wonder what "days" actually means to a pay czar -- maybe the correct spelling should have been "daze."

Ditto! I was wondering the same thing... how long people will have to wait to see any money, get some real help. I've been busy lately and your post is dated June, but, as far as I know, it's now July and I haven't heard of people getting any... other than the "bend over" "any".
