My statement is that the money he is receiving CAME FROM BP. Nothing about who controls it. Ever hear the phrase, "Follow the money"...?
The fact of this matter is that this oil spill was beyond ANYTHING that BP could "fix," and there is so much money involved the governments (plural) really aren't going to punish shit, or make them stop doing anything, because they want their cuts. Obama included. They don't want BP to stop doing anything, or lose money and have any sort of trickle effect.
The profit this asshole lawyer is making is not coming from the USA, it is coming from BP. You think he is going to make a single move that would upset BP? HELL NO! His actions are to benefit BP, NOT the US government or anyone else. He is trying to get people to SIGN AWAY THEIR RIGHT TO SUE BP, nothing else.
Really, you are trying to argue about the stupidest shit now. A subject you know nothing about. I could get in my car RIGHT NOW and within 30 minutes be touching this fucking oil, it's still here. Your empty, general statements about the money are pointless. None of it matters, nothing can be done, it was a disaster and will never go away. All the money in the world will not fix it. It was too much oil to remove, period, so they "dispersed" it. Done deal.
I follow this news all the time, so let me add this. What this incident DID do, was give some other asshole politicians an excuse to say hey, look we fixed the problem that caused the blowout! So let's open MORE for deepwater drilling! We've LEARNED from out mistakes! Drill MORE! And guess what, that's what they are doing. Drilling more.
Lesson learned? I don't trust a single one of these fuckers. From this Feinberg guy, to Obama. There were dolphins swimming in the bayou, slowly dying. I have pictures! It is so sad. But the fact is most don't care, and will get in their SUV's, bitch about the price of gas, fill up, and go to a sports game this weekend and get drunk.
Life goes on.
