Environment and the Constitution are both important

Protect the environment AND the Constitution

Was Cong. Joe Barton right in apologizing to BP?

Should the Obama Administration bypass the courts, and Congress, and assume Supreme power and authority over reimbursement of those harmed by the oil spill?

Does Obama believe in separation of powers or is he omnipotent?

So many questions. Yes, Obama fired the president of GM. That was unprecedented action – government officials picking corporate presidents.

Obama has now ordered BP to fund a $20 billion compensation fund.

Nobody wants to go to BP’s defense, particularly if BP is found negligent. But our courts are designed to determine guilt or innocence. Clearly, BP is an enormous international company and should be held responsible for the harm they have caused the environment and businesses/individuals who rely on the Gulf for their livelihood.

Does the Obama recognize any limits to the President’s power? Clearly they do not. Obama appears to think he governs all three arms of government.

So Cong. Barton is half right. He should not be apologizing to BP but to the American people for a Congress which is not able to hold the President’s power in check.

Obama has no right to make those demands of BP. It is up to the courts to decide. The Obama regime and the environmentalists pushed the drilling out to mile deep water when there are thousands of shallow water and land sites to drill.
I see all as culpable and even less reason to allow government to dictate to private business!!!
