“John: “We’re going to allow BP who caused the problem to monitor and determine who gets the money and how that money is spent and how the land is going to be protected?”

It is their money, John. They get to buy what they please.

John Lapointe says the government stepped in to take over the car industry, and the banks, and he believes it should be taking over this situation too.”

Well maybe CEO John thinks the government should hose him out of his equity, screw his lenders and give his company to the auto workers union.

Sorry Moe, no sale on this one.

Do you think we could sell some oil boom around here?
I would have invested in that!
Gads….
Right now you would think they ( BP, the respective states affected, the Coast Guard and Federal Government ) would be diving on any source of supply they could dredge up.

Saw this story on another site and I just had to vent……..

Not sure what BP’s deal is, but this is just a guess on my part as to why The Gubmint hasn’t used the Packgen’s product…….

Mr. Lapoint’s company is non-union and NOT owned by a one-armed minority transgender midget seeking bailout money to hire some poor unfortunate undocumented workers.

What ?

Bitter ?

Me ?

Never.

Who’s a$$ can I kick ?

Is there any way to contact this company and find out how much it would cost to purchase some of these? I’d be willing to bet that there are people in the country who would be willing to haul these down to the Gulf if we were able to raise enough money to pay for them…..

Unfortunately, I don’t have those kind of contacts, but there are plenty of conservative blogs who could get the word out, right? I’m sure that many of the shows on talk radio and/or Fox News Channel would be willing to put the word out, as well. We’ve got to do something, and I’m tired of feeling helpless! I put the article on my Facebook page about 1/2 an hour ago – hopefully that will help -

Why is anyone surprised? They are merely exercising the expertise they learned in their business, or poli/sci classes, not to mention the often taught importance of expressing their self esteem, and then recording it for all of our posterities. The fed. govt. took over the student loans in the healthcare law too, right? Coming to an emergency room near you.

The Only MAObama State In the Oil-Spill Area is Florida. And how Dem might Florida really be anyway?

Given Chicago-style payback politics, it is not impossible to conceive various politico-psychological scenarios of revenge.

The “crisis” will not be solved either because of basic incompetence, stupid political considerations (as in the above “Is the Maine factory unionized?”), or deliberate political considerations: i.e. here is a way to push oil out of the economy, or BP gave us so much money – and will for the future – we need to go easy on them.

Not to be forgotten is BIG BRObama’s main philosophy:

“Oh, something bad is happening to America? GOOD! America deserves everything bad it gets because it is a racist, unfair, and exploitative country.”

A combination of all of these contradictory motivations is not impossible.
