OBAMA GOT PLAYED THEY WALKED OUT OF THERE LAUGHING KNOWING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE THAT MONEY BACK IN A BLINK OF AN EYE AND THE MONEY IS BEING PAID OUT 5 BILLION A YEAR. THE OIL IS COMING OUT NOW SO TAKE THAT MONEY NOW ALL OF IT AND STILL STICK IT TO BP. JUST LIKE THE OTHER COMMENT THEY WILL RAISE PRICES BY .05 AND POOF THEY HAVE THE MONEY BACK WHERE IT BELONGS ,WITH THEM. 20 BILLION ISNT SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the last four years (including the first quarter of 2010), BP has made a total of $82 billion, according to Google Finance – putting the cost of the cleanup so far at just 1.2% of profits. If you assume BP would have made about as much as it has averaged over the past four years, the cost of the Gulf oil spill so far amounts to just under 5% of BP annual profits

Obama is fair in getting BP to pay for the cleanup but he is literally attacking BP. He has damaged its reputation by bullying it into submission and modifying international laws to get at them.

It is hurting all of England because 1/6 of all pension funds in that country are invested in BP. The stock value of this company is dropping rapidly and is costing more money than the 20billion dollar compensation.

If this company goes down England will go with it.

You are BREAKING THE LAW OBAMA.

@Salt231

Please state how any laws are being broken here? All I see is a company getting its dues. If an entire nation (England) feels the pinch because of that, it not our problem. That's just poor economics on their part. We went through our stint of monopolization from the mid 1800's to the early 1900's, and we had to deal and get out of that practice. I guess England has similar, albeit different, but still similar issues to handle.

F YOU!! YOU F*CKIN' PRICK!! You are Such a F*ing! Socialist Piece of Sh*t!! Ya, they(BP) agreed....You Threatened Them just as you did the banks with the bailout....We won't forget...Wells Fargo DID NOT WANT THE BAILOUT UNTIL YOU SAID "YOU WILL SIGN ON, FARGO!" YOU'RE SUCH A F*CKIN' LIAR!! Who did you have in there with you and BP....Al "Shake down" Sharpton?!?, Reverend Jesse "Thug" Jackson! This is total Lawlessness.....Oh, Ya, your from Chicago.

20 Billion is a joke, Obama either is stupid or took advice from his idiot advisers.

BP had reported 14 billion in 2009

This oil disaster will still be causing American people troubles for the next 10 to 20 years. Divide the 20 billion by 10 years than by 5 States.

They can also pass those costs of 20 billion onto American people by rising the price of gas by $.05
