Obama is anti-british

What point did he make?
About how there is now zero evidence of previous oil disasters around the world (and that they were all American). Now how factual that is is up for some debate, but it seemed interesting none the less (I assume he would have had his fact straight).

Didn't Cameron today (I think Cameron... could be wrong) say that it was maybe up to even 60,000?

To be fair, he hasn't exactly had an easy run of it. Bush couldn't have left a worse legacy for the next guy if he'd of tried!

I think that makes it easier for him - he should be able to get a whole raft of legislation through by simply blaming the old regime. Like the Conservatives are doing here.

I was told that the pictures of when Brown actually left 10 downing street, he actually looked like he was relieved!

Seems like Obama's rabble rousing is working.

When it costs my pension fund money.
Fair enough, BP has to pay for it's mistake, but I don't see why they should be paying for stupid tourism adverts. IMO a lot of the $20bn Obama is taking out of the British economy will end up in the hands of organised crime, like Dick Cheney's Hurricane Katrina relief fund did.
How is $20bn being taken out of the British economy when it's a multinational company?
Stupid woman , she should be stripped of her OBE at the very least.

I can't believe she said that, as you said, stupid stupid bint. I don't actually care what she said about the football but she's just utterly clueless about the situation
He might be angry but its an AMERICAN owned oil rig that broke because HIS government let it relax safety standards, so if he's angry its HIS fault, so still no reason to blame ONLY BP or call it british petroleum when its a largely American owned company or when he KNOWS it will hurt the UK economy heavily and as a by product his own economy. BP is part of the FTSE 100 so its incredibly important, his own stock market has taken a hit since BP's been taking, he's irresponsible and flat out stupid for making the comments which are completely incorrect.
As for an accurate estimate of whats coming out, I think its highly likely a broken pipe with cracks in it will have had cracks further out than the hole and its also likely the hole would have widened for a while after the leak started, 5k barrels isn't necessarily inaccurate, it may simply have started there, likewise its also very hard to quantify how much of a liquid is coming out, miles down. We know now as we can see it on the surface and guesstimate a pretty accurate answer aswell as having camera's watching the spill, none of that was available in the first few days.

ACtually he had a very good legacy, in so far as what he needed to do to help the economy and fix the country was clear as day. Cameron/Clegg aren't going to be popular eventually with cuts to everything but its whats required. The problem is Cameron/Clegg equivilent to Obama's position would be instead of making cuts, trying to introduce the largest public spending policy of our history, while the country is almost bankrupt and on the brink of a proper depression rather than a mini recession we borrowed our way out of.
People are unhappy with Obama as almost every one of his policies was a lie, he's followed through with nothing, his healthcare plan is neutered and will still cost a bomb and push the deficit up which is killing their economy. Meanwhile, he's done pretty much entirely nothing useful in his time in charge except doing things like winning nobel prizes for pulling out of a war that started before he got in charge, and hasn't actually finished yet, while increasing numbers in another war.
Obama had one required goal when he got in charge, bring the deficit under control, get rid of as much anti gay, anti -everything else legislation the republicans put in as possible and do everything possible to reduce the risk of a recession/depression. He's done everything opposite, democrats have the right morality, but the Labour type idea of big government and massive public spending which bankrupts countries. ITs exactly what the USA doesn't need right now.
Sadly I haven't. The paper might still be at home for me to get a photo of and put the article up.
It was very insightful as to previous oil disasters (that were all under American oil firms) and now in those areas there is no such lasting damage.
Suggesting that this current disaster will be fine in years to come and Obama is making something out of nothing.
