Who's going to pay for the oil spill?

British Petroleum (BP) is getting a lot of heat for the latest environmental disaster. Twenty-five thousand barrels of oil are gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, every day.

I haven't been following the story very well. I did hear that President Obama said, "BP is responsible for this leak and will be paying the bill."

Really?? BP is going to pay the bill. Don't mind my skepticism, but did the wall street banks pay the bill for their shady business practices, which brought down the economy?

No, of course not. The taxpayer paid the bill.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that BP will not be paying the whole cleanup bill. Sure, they'll pay a little. Not all of it though.

Obama said, "We're going to do everything in our power to protect our natural resources, compensate those who have been harmed, rebuild what has been damaged and help this region persevere like it has done so many times before."

US taxpayers better hold on to their wallets.

Will Obama be assassinated?

Two months ago a Pennsylvania newspaper published a classified ad calling for the assassination of Barrack Obama. Later, the newspaper apologized for running the ad - but I'm worried.


Not because a few degenerates are calling for his assassination, I'm worried because Obama scares people. He scares the right-wing wacko element of the United States - those people who stockpile grenade launchers, live in bullet-proof compounds and publish Nazi newsletters.


These are the kind of people who wouldn't think twice about taking a potshot at Obama. The president is young, progressive, black and has an aggressive agenda of change. What happens to progressive presidents who want change?


Already they're calling him a Nazi because he wants to change medicare. There are pictures of him patting Hitler on the back. There are pictures of him wearing Joker makeup from Batman. And "angry mobs" are showing up at Town Hall meetings waving signs that call him evil. All because he wants to improve his country's medical system.



He's only been President for half a year. He's got three and half to go. I hope he's not assassinated.
