June 17 (Bloomberg) -- Representative Joe Barton, a Texas Republican, said a fund BP Plc agreed to establish after meeting with President Barack Obama yesterday amounted to “a $20 billion shakedown.” “I’m ashamed of what happened in the White House,” Barton said today as a House Energy Committee panel began a hearing on BP’s Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Due process wasn’t followed during negotiations between BP and administration officials, Barton said.

He's right.
Just 10 days prior to the explosion, the Obama administration’s regulators gave the oil rig a pass, and last year the Obama administration granted BP a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) exemption for its drilling operation.
Chuckles... "Let the government clean it up and the taxpayer pay for it..." --Boofer on the spill/leak that he claimed was less than natural "seepage"...

Oh I really do hope you and your neocon ilk line up to support BP! {{{chuckle}}}
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
1. I'm not a 'neo con' - meaning I was NEVER a liberal turned Conservative as the term is defined. 2. I'm not defending BP here. I'm noting Barton is correct with his assertion the Constitution is being blatantly violated. There is a right way, and a wrong way, of dealing with the disaster BP has wrought upon us. This is the wrong way in my view. Meanwhile, your side is getting creamed on this issue....just wait til its day 159....

Neocon loving lickspittle then The movement history hardly means it applies individually as Badeye would suggest. Or else he once must have been a Whig too. lol
Making the world safe for United Fruit.
Any word can mean anything when you insist on conytriving your own definitions. In Boofer's world...this guy isn't obese: #67. To: war (#48) Keep hiding behind the bozo, bozo.

Going 'juvenile' here is pathetic Brian s.

$1.4 MILLION *donated* by the oil industry to Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) Just reported on MSNBC.

America needs to speak with one voice here and it ain't Joe Barton's.

I suppose he is upset he got so little in his 'shakedown'.
Barton's still correct as to the Constitutionality of this. Or does that not matter?
Just 10 days prior to the explosion, the Obama administration’s regulators gave the oil rig a pass, and last year the Obama administration granted BP a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) exemption for its drilling operation.
How is it unconstitutional, Boofer? It wasn't legislated, therefore, a Bill of Attainder. It's going to be adminstered to privately.

It's the Chicago Way.
Sure it's unconstitutional, but an 0bama official when asked the same question stated they would merely create a law that authorizes the shake-down (no mention of just how shakedown are "constitutional.")
Just reported on MSNBC. When did MSNBC report on the million bucks 0bama got from BP? That right - NEVER. (Did you get that Brian? BP + $1,000,000 = 0bama's campaign.)
Hey BE - why don't the Liberal/Leftist ankle-biting tards here ever address the story instead of obsessing over you? They're like gushing school girls with crushes. I'm jealous.
When did seventy-seven thousand dollars become a million bucks?
When the disinformation from 0bama's media lap-dogs like MSNBC and the Times is ignored.
Gay crush? Envy? Decade long demonstration of insanity? Inability to refute the statement it violates the Constitution? Pick one...
