They haven't really paid it out yet.

Some 12% of that money has been paid out in claims already.

I guess we'll blame Obama for that

Ok with me if you want. I am just waiting to see if big business really lives up to it's commitment.

And I also wonder if it is enough to mitigate the damage to people's lives.

nope. no amount of money can ever mitigate the damage to people's livelihood. This is where the businesses in families have been around for generations especially shrimp. The tool of trade gets passed on from generation to generation. Now that it's permanently gone and people have to seek for new line of career.... what are they supposed to do?

Second here, I'm very upset at Obama right now.

 

[TXgolfer]

I don't think it was BP that delayed barges to check for life jackets and fire extinguishers......

you're reaching

 

[TXgolfer]

you're reaching

You saying those barges didn't sit in port due to Coast Guard order? Dutch help turned down due to residue. If you choose to trust obama after that it's your choice......

It's no reach though.

 

[kokonut]

it was the Coast Guards under Homeland Security who stopped those barges from sucking up those oil spill.

Who is really in charge?

Really?

Didn't Obama say that the buck stops with him?

Obama's Katrina times 10.

Or turned down requests on skimmers from other countries to help with the oil spill clean-up. Heck, get help using a supertanker that can suck up hundreds of millions of gallons of oil.

Remember, everything he says you can expect to come with an expiration date.

 

[kokonut]

Yep.

You've got to wonder if the feds have it out for Louisiana, though. First the levee disaster and now the oil disaster. Maybe it's a matter of Louisiana lacking political currency.
