Seriously?
The spin is flying and the latest is that 3.5 years to pay it off is not fast enough.

I'm not exactly sure how they're suppose to pay $20 billion when they have $7 billon cash on hand at any given moment. And this is just for damage claims, not other expenses to pay for relief well drilling and other operations the government is asking for. The $20 billion is for damages to the residents of the Gulf Coast.

I honestly think people would be happier if Obama took Blackwater and raided the HQ of BP, killing most of the executives and locking the rest up in Gitmo. Fuck the people of the Gulf coast, they don't need any relief. Let the taxpayers foot the bill alone.

Maybe some of that is Obama's fault - he's like the "great dad" that we want to see how far we can push things with. In the meantime, we're spoiled rotten by a president who has the fault of giving too much of a shite about us.
