Freepers defend BP

Cause if Obama is against it, Freepers are for it. Well, that and the idea that Obama is too close to BP doesn't seem to stick. So Freepers turn on a dime, and now Obama hates BP and wants to kill them for no good reason:

Myrddin knows the names of some laws:

BP had a contractual limit on liability for this rig. There are people trying to change that contract and legislatively raise the cap retroactively. That is an ex post facto law AND a bill of attainder aimed at punishing oil companies in general and BP in particular.

Congress already has a black eye for seizing the private assets of the GM bond holders...breaking their bonded contractual ownership of GM...and handing it to their union buddies.

If government fails to enforce contract law, it is time for that government to go. They are simply a lawless mob using their power to seize property and purchase favors with the seized assets. Thieves in suits.

if the Congress passes a law making BP liable, then yes. Otherwise, just keep fucking that chicken.

GOPJ thinks the dems are responsible for BP's demise

Mutual funds with BP stock should be moved - I suspect dems will be able to destroy BP. Dems can’t build sh^t - but they’ve got destruction down pat...

What about, you know, the reckless negligence BP seems to have displayed.

lonestar on how Obama is killing all businesses everywhere:

All the politicians are doing is destroying investors' savings and weakening the company

True of many companies since the Obama administration was sworn in!

Funny how the markets don't see this rampant discussion.

DarthVader:

This is the reason that the Democrat party must not only beaten but destroyed.

detective:

Obama is an adolescent punk and street thug. Using the term “kicking ass” to describe a complex situation shows thug tendencies and a refusal to offer positive and constructive input. It is inappropriate for any responsible adult and more so for the POTUS.

Obama and the Democrats want to use this situation to take as much money as possible from the entire energy industry, not just BP. They are extortionists and thugs and the fact that they have the power of the Federal Government is dangerous to our country's future.
