4. He didn't start the bailout business and you need to stop that

lie right now. ALL of the economist said if it wasn't continued we would have been in state worst than the Great Depression.

The Bailout effort started under junior you know that just as well as everyone else.

BP is going to suffer greatly and justly so.

6. Big oil should "Pay"

Make them pay the full cost -- recovery and damages. There isn't any "Price-Anderson Act" for Big Oil.

of the military, the SWAT teams that are there checking the other wells and all other oersinnel & equipment we are now using to do the job for them.

9. and they should regulate themselves

and pay for their own inspectors

I'm sure oil companies would do a heckuva job cleaning up

spare no expense

leave no stone unturned

WTF. Pay for it yes. Do it? No way in hell.
