Should taxpayers help clean up BP oil spill?
Do you think BP should socialize their losses and privitize their gains by having U.S. taxpayers help pay for their oil spill?

Groups like Acorn that get government funding should go help.
Obama seems to be able to get groups like Acorn and SEIU to do stuff for him all the time. How about helping out the country for once?

Like it or not, if this mess going to get cleaned up, the taxpayer is going to foot some of the bill. At some point BP runs out of money. As big as they are, they can't cover all the costs. This mess is just way too big and effects far too many people and it is going to go on for a very long time.

BP has more money than I do.

We need to squeeze every penny out of BP, then go for more. BP must be completely drained and left for dead.
In the meantime, every able-bodied welfare recipient should be on the beach cleaning and doing whatever needs doing. Those than can't physically clean up can be there in support roles - cooking, first aid, whatever.
Prison details are called for.

Should have been cleaning from Day 1.
If Obama had been on the clean up from day 1, the bill would be significantly lower. Once hurricane season starts some of the other States might get painted black in oil as well.

CNN has had superb coverage so far.
They reported tonight that Obama knew within the first 24 hours that the actual spillage was at least twice what BP reported.
The Obama administration has totally botched this whole thing.
Just ask James Carville.

Everyone be real, this is going into 2011 easy, the Horizon rig that blew up in fire and sank was not the safer risk platform rig for a depth of a mile, but its all about saving BP money and the fix will include another cutoff exception somewhere. To move a rig to any location is in the millions of dollars, follow the money.

As the largest Corp in the UK how 'bout if we go after all those shareholders? We'll bang down their doors and grab any personal items of value. We could dip into their accounts and grab that dividend money.
These scum will pay. They are the lowest of the low.
They all knew this was going to happen. I can't sleep at night knowing these people are still on the face of the earth. I say we burn 'em all.
JERKS!

How about going after all the people who said this could never happen. There were a lot of them before it happened. Now they are just saying it very unlikely to happen again or that shit happens.

We actually someone post that a hurricane would disperse the oil.

I don't know what you're laughing about. Some will get dispersed.
Enough dispersion to make things dirty. Not enough to clean it up.

You work for BP?
They have been lying since day one dragging their feet on taking responsibility for this. Yes, knock down their doors and drag them into the streets. Let me know where and when. I got a Bic.

Ace idea, get a mob mentality.
If we could get BO to talk about kickin' can & Holder to yap about aggressively pursuing a criminal campaign AND get you & Goren & a boatload of folk getting bent - We could bust the company short and money will go 'poof'
Where can I sign-up for this outrage? I'd like to do a disservice to those that might need the help.
What again is the statue of limitations - 5 years?
Hurry, hurry - Drown the rescuers right away.
