Obama's BP oil spill ire: America's ALWAYS tried to do down Britain | Mail Online
Quote(Has the worm turned at last? As the oil continues to gush in the Gulf of Mexico, angry rhetoric has gushed from President Barack Obama's lips. His rabid denunciations of BP have damaged the interests not only of that company but of most British people, in a way that must make us wonder whether he leads a friendly country.)
I always read peoples comments on stories such as these, I find that the general public who care to have an opinion are not necessarily in tune with the paid writer of pieces such as these.
My own comments are that before the Company chose to be thought of as BP, it was called British Petroleum, BP is responsible to an enormous degree for this devastating leak and pollution of the Gulf shore.
However I feel about BP and the various statements of it's CEO Tony Hayward I find that I have to some extent feel a trifle disgusted at the rhetoric pouring from Obama's lips.
You see, BP has admitted responsibility and has said it will settle the clean up costs and all legitimate claims, undoubtedly these will run into many Billions of Dollars.
Now what do you suppose might happen if BP goes bust broke, who do think will have to pick up the tab for all the clean up costs?
While your mulling that one over, let me propose what is likely to happen should BP go bust.
In order for the US Government to pick up the tab for the clean up, they will need to slap an extra tax on Gasoline and Diesel, this is what President Obama would like to do in any case as part of his Cap and Trade.
At the moment it is very much in the interest of America that BP remains an ongoing Company.
Anyone have any comments?
