I am not really a fan of obama but I think he did the right thing BP would have just hired a hundred lawyers to make sure they would pay as little as possible and as late as possible (if at all). This fucking retard would have realized that if he weren't so busy sucking herpes infested dick. I hope he chokes to death on their jizz and his kids blow their brains out
OMG I just did the biggest, smelliest, longest fart!! You wouldn't believe it!!! If I could sit my a.. on the oil spill and fart I 100% sure I could stop the leak!! I would blow a load in the hole and it would plug like cement! I would than have all politicians inspect the patch work with the hope that they would "all" kick off!! Then the world would be a better place!!
When are we going to stop funding those piece of shit europeans anyway? F*ck the british, english, queen bitch lovin', gay pope suckin' son of a bitches!
“If the G.O.P. wins back the House, Barton is the guy who could be in charge of regulating the oil industry,” the Democratic National Committee wrote in a fund-raising pitch. “We’re whipping together an ad as fast as possible to make sure voters know exactly whose side Barton and the G.O.P. are on and to demand they stop apologizing to big oil, but we need your help to get it on the air.”
BTW. What the fuck is wrong with you republicans. Is there nothing more important to you than money? Huh? Do you just have to kill every fucking thing that stands between your sorry asses and a cheeseburger?
Nothing like hearing a puffy red faced motherfucker with a fucking stupid southern drawl saying the most insanely stupid, morally bankrupt shit I have ever seen or heard in my life.
Congress Barton you took that bucket bouncing down the road and put it right were it belonged, over Hayward's face. I see he want's to appear like he's full of it. I may not be political status... I sure as heck felt like an American watching you let Hayward have it.
He should have known better, it doesn't take more than a five year old to know beforehand that rhetoric like this will get you into serious trouble and nobody, absolutely nobody would jump to your defense. Campaign contribution and genuine ideological conviction aside, what he said just reeked of political gaffe of first degree, I mean, are you serious? Do you really think it's gonna go unnoticed? Dumb, just can't be dumber. Tony Hayward had some big gaffe moments, but nothing compared to this.
The Obama Deception:documentary about the real power structure of the world, and how the elite are trampling on our great country and constitution. Wake up your country needs you, we're in economic, military and spiritual decay. Stop caring about mundane things(ex. tv, pointless movies, and sports) and take action against the evil spreading across this great land!
everyone should do some fn dd on this.. Its amazing to me how the blame is tossed in directions without any intelligent backing what so ever!! Its all republican this blah blah blah!! How about the fact that out of the 20 billion dollars thats put up, only 5 billion of it is coming from bp? Wonder why? How about because there is other partners involved, that are simply hidden.. How about Chevron, do you think Chevron is putting up 5 billion cause they have no part in this.You freaks kill me!!
How can anyone misconstrue what he said? His apology is worthless and he is nothing but a bought politician by big oil. He and sarah palin think that the tax payers should pay for the gulf cleanup.
Dude jew be so white go get a tan, zombie faces no blood flowing to your head jew look dead, whitey sold his soul to the devil to get to the top of the corporate ladder. lol i kid i kid but still bs political talk only appealing to the other political money hungry zombies.
What a piece of shit. These are the morons who will re-take control of congress if we let them by not voting. We need to vote for people who are not wholly owned subsidiaries of corporate America.
BP getting fined is a "tragedy of the first proportion"? REALLY?! That is this guy's idea of a tragedy? When all life on Earth has been poisoned beyond the point of no return by this jerk's corporate friends, will THAT be considered a tragedy of the first proportion? Dear GOD.... we are in the hands of MADMEN! Can ANYTHING stop them? Is there any force out there stronger than human greed and arrogance? I feel sick.
Apology? WTF for? BP should have every decision they made over the last 5 months put under a microscope. This is a classic example of companies cutting corners to make profits. Welcome to the dirty side of unregulated capitalism. I'm all for free markets, but eventually people need to realize that big business runs rife with corruption. It can't be a "government don't get involved until someone fucks things up beyond repair system."
Considering that no one in the GOP is backing this jackass tells you how stupid he is.
This guy like 95% of all incumbents are not intelligent lawmakers they are simply those who were bought and paid for by special interests. We need two new parties to who serve the people and not the money.
Since Rep. Joe Barton did such a nice job sucking the shit out of Tony Hayward's ass he might be just the thing to help clean up the oil mess in the Gulf.
So Rep. Joe Barton wants to let BP off the hook and have all of us pay for the mess, clean-up, re-imburse the fishermen? Rep. Joe Barton is speaking like a good communist.
Truth has it if republicans win in November he or another republican who loves the oil company's will run the energy sector in comities and the people may see no relief in fact we will probably pay tax like John Boehner wants less on the oil company that caused the mess and more on our backs as middle class. But fact is for now if republicans win in November this scum bag BP lover will be in charge of energy or one like him!!
I'm a Republican. Barton is not working in the interest of the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Barton is WORKING IN THE INTEREST OF THE BRITISH PEOPLE! Barton you should get a job in the Parliamnet, not Congress.
The more the fed stayed out of this, the better it would be. The fed took weeks to approve a sand bar that would stop the oil from reaching shore. BP was ready and willing to pay, but the fed said no until a few weeks ago, and even now only 25% has been approved.
What exactly did he say that was incorrect? He didn't say BP shouldn't clean up their mess, nor did he say they shouldn't be held responsible if the investigation finds any wrongdoing. In fact he states that Holder has every right to continue the criminal investigation, to protect the American people. What he did say however is that the Administration extorted over $20 Billion from BP. The President cannot just demand money nor can the liablity cap be lifted , it is bill of attainer.
@Joe402 barton and heartless,money/ business worshipping sellouts like him r the reason america sucks as a country.wat happened 2 putting ur fellow people n citizens 1st.before future profit? that's y he's suckin up to bp,2get their business$ in the future.self interest n greed is the god of america. THE U.S. IS JUST CIRCLING THE DRAIN FOLKS.slowly but surely, circling the drain.george carlin said it best. check out his vid's called 'voting' 'the american dream' n 'consumerism'. he knew
@Twinke5015 - Patrol officers in the State of Texas stop people regularly and confiscate money from citizens without any proof of any wrongdoing (like a guy who was on his way to pay for a used car). They will take your money and you can't do anything about it.
I suggest he work within his State to stop these "shakedowns," if he cares so much about this topic.
Welcome to seeing what the Republican Party really cares about. Joe will make a great ad this November and maybe for years to come.
So how many of you sheep will stand behind this guy and how much are you willing to pay in increased income tax so poor BP can get off the hook. Don't be shy now, post that amount you wanna pay.
@TheAerialbomb that's a business/money HEARTLESS, GREED MOTIVATED REPUBLICAN 4 U. WHO CARES ABOUT THE INNOCENT ANIMALS DYING CUZ OF BP CUTIING CORNERS N SAFETY VIOLATIONS. WHO CARES ABOUT THE LIVELIHOODS OF THE innocent people/fishermen who r now have nothing. who cares? barton needs to stay on bp's good side just in case in the future, he can go knock on their door 4 sumthing. wat a heartless cocksucker n traitor 2 his ppl
Funny how you say republicans are kissing BP's butt, but you seem to forget the federal government ignoring BP's safety failures. Yes, that was your precious Obama who's responsibility it was to enforce our safety regulations but that DID NOT happen. It's not just republicans, please stop drinking the kool-aid and inform yourself, liberal zombies.
@un1b4ll - Federal regulatory agencies have been destroyed SINCE Reagan. But that's okay because "We Don't Want NO Federal Government Ruining Our Lives." Yet, when everything hits the fan, you start whining about what the federal government isn't doing and expect Obama to have fixed 30 years of deregulate, deregulate, deregulate in one year.
You wanted it deregulated. NOW GO AND FIX IT YOURSELF and STOP WHINING ABOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
@un1b4ll And you are forgetting about the 20 billion Obama's making BP pay and the secret meetings Cheney had with oil companies that got an acoustic switch taken off the wells which would have cost them half a mill but would have prevented this disaster.
Not at all! I hate the fact that this schmuck (and most of the republican party) is tossed around by whatever way the wind is blowing. Even more, I hate how this is what people call "conservatism"... that's not what this is. I'm not defending barton at ALL, but I want people to be real, Obama has had over a year and a half to tighten down regulations, or at least halt any malpractice. Anyways, conservatives need real roll models like John Thune, or Ron Paul.
I love it when Republicans actually say what they are thinking, and then are surprised when they are forced to walk it back. Oh, ah, what I really meant was, ah, that ah, well, you know they give me lots of money, and if they give it all to the fishermen in LA, how will they have enough for my reelection?
Kiss oil Butt republicans!! what else would we expect from A repub scared political money will run out he certainly doesn't mean this apology was forced into it by his party because they are scared too. sick republicans through bush & worse since Obama only care for Rich selves there pockets & not the people ya know the people in the oil areas need obama's 20 billion plan it gives hope and repubs trash it. god forgive them repub deregulations there dealings with oil & the not caring for people.
@Vixenela Don't minimize profit...profit is a good thing! You want to talk about why so many lives are destroyed??? Prez....Clinton signed a deep water oil drilling incentives...Blame him and the demo socialist party!
Remove This Jerk From Office. He already received 1.5 mill from the oil companies last year. Make this bastard stand in the squared circle with some of the Gulf Coast Families who's lives have been ruined by this disaster. Everything is bigger in Texas my ass. Everything is dumber 2
Dear Joe - It’s called accountability and responsibility. You see, BP and other Oil Companies, has a long history of screwing people over. Remember the Exxon Valdez? ? It took 20 years for the lives destroyed to be compensated with all the delay tactics Exxon played. Not really fair those Americans who lost everything was it? This fund is to protect Americans from corporate greed, something you, and your GOP friends, consistently refuse to do. Why do you and the GOP hate the American people?
Shakedown? Hell yes. If a private corporation murdered people should there be consequences? Sorry BP.. how ridiculous of us to have you pay for polluting our land.
Joe Barton you are a whore to the oil industry.............keep your pants open wide so the oil industry can shove another 1.5 million dollars up your posterior! Mr Barton America is ashamed of you!
You morons keep threatening to secede. Either shut up or put up. Just get on with it and leave. I've seen the polls -- the majority of Americans won't miss y'all (isn't that how you Hee Haws speak?).
@Christopher0312 We put with shit every day...most of the red state America are the ones that serve this country. Just look at the numbers. I don't think you want us to say you won't miss us...there is a reason why we call the north the rust-belt. Every thing is rusting to hell! Punk-ass Liberal
@Christopher0312 what a dumbass you are??? You must be a dumocrat! If we leave...we are forming our own country...free from Chicago style union thugs which you like. Why don't you read up on who signed the Outer Continental Shelf Deepwater Royalty Relief Act and that is where all of the problems started.
Seriously though +1 for RonPaul support; let's bring real moderates back to the GOP, rather than these fucking conservatives (which, by definition of conservatism, wants to keep things running just as they are and they do that, which is NOT want the vast majority of Americans want right now... we haven't got shit left to conserve right now except these wild life sanctuaries which, ironically, the liberals are historically for...)
I can't help but be pissed off when what used to be a good party - the GOP - has decided to focus on getting big business protection from people instead of the other way around. If governments should do anything to big businesses, it's to make sure they're not hurting people (much less destroying environments which we rely on for food) - which reminds me to give a specific "fuck you dude" to the former MMG "workers"....
Damn right...the obama regime is doing a shake down. I hope the GOP after the 2012 elections do criminal investigations of obama and his cronies. God help us!!!
Wow. Did this guy just APOLOGIZE for making BP pay for the mess they've made?!?!?! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! What's wrong with Texas anyway?? I wonder if Texans would support this apology?!
Really ? Name them ! And what state are you from ? Or are you Euro-trash liberal that thinks your ass is entitled to someone elses capital. wealth and income like some welfare bitch from California -- Pelosi or Boxer
@starcatcher7777 I'm from Florida, and I'm pretty sure California produces much more economically than Texas. I actually like Texas, despite the politics there, which are ridiculous, i.e., Rep. Barton today. Do you agree with Barton's apology and think we should be apologizing to BP?? I can't wait for your answer on that...
Well not when you consider what CA owes and consumes vs produces:
Barton made some very good points but did not do them well at all ! Due Process is very important but so is keeping more damage being done to the survival of people slammed by natural disasters and then this CAUSED BY CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE CAUSED BY BP!
Tell me in Obama's mind set of never letting a crisis go to waste what urgency did Obama show or is.. The Greater the Crisis the Greater the Opportunity ?
@ZForce33 I have lived in Texas for 12-years now, and I've met quite a few idiots...but I've met quite a few idiots starting from the West Coast all the way to the East Coast where I'm from. There's a lot of moderate Republicans here in Texas that are embarrassed by the loud, rabid Tea Party Neo Cons. Texas does have quite a bit of people who possess the ability to THINK.
@kmsmith1210 Yeah, I know what you mean. There are smart people and there are idiots in every state. Unfortunately, extremism is the color Texas is currently being painted, because every time you hear about Texas, it's because a wingnut politician has said something ridiculous - be it about seceeding from the Union, apologizing to BP, threatening to adopt an immigation law like Arizona's, or whatever. Your Governor is making the state into a laughingstock.
Wow, fail video. He didn't apologize and he said it was his personal opinion.
Your video and description is false. Try the truth next time, it serves you better.

@Christopher0312 We put with shit every day...most of the red state America are the ones that serve this country. Just look at the numbers. I don't think you want us to say you won't miss us...there is a reason why we call the north the rust-belt. Every thing is rusting to hell! Punk-ass Liberal

@Christopher0312 what a dumbass you are??? You must be a dumocrat! If we leave...we are forming our own country...free from Chicago style union thugs which you like. Why don't you read up on who signed the Outer Continental Shelf Deepwater Royalty Relief Act and that is where all of the problems started.

@RonPaulGeorgeRingo Zombie Reagan want eat brains! Rarrrr! ^.^
Seriously though +1 for RonPaul support; let's bring real moderates back to the GOP, rather than these fucking conservatives (which, by definition of conservatism, wants to keep things running just as they are and they do that, which is NOT want the vast majority of Americans want right now... we haven't got shit left to conserve right now except these wild life sanctuaries which, ironically, the liberals are historically for...)

@Truthiness231 THANK YOU! Someone with a BRAIN! The GOP has gotten WAY out of hand. Has been for years.

@kmsmith1210 ^.^ Thnx.
I can't help but be pissed off when what used to be a good party - the GOP - has decided to focus on getting big business protection from people instead of the other way around. If governments should do anything to big businesses, it's to make sure they're not hurting people (much less destroying environments which we rely on for food) - which reminds me to give a specific "fuck you dude" to the former MMG "workers"....

Damn right...the obama regime is doing a shake down. I hope the GOP after the 2012 elections do criminal investigations of obama and his cronies. God help us!!!

hey barton, what precedent for the future does destroying an ocean do?
ps. bp needs to turn that piggy bank upside down over the gulf region and do many more "shake downs"

This BP disaster will be the Republican's Waterloo in November.
It is a disgrace to let BP off the hook so the American taxpayer can foot the bill for the clean up.

Wow. Did this guy just APOLOGIZE for making BP pay for the mess they've made?!?!?! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! What's wrong with Texas anyway?? I wonder if Texans would support this apology?!

@Christopher0312 :
Why dont you compare what your state contributes to the National Economy and then rank that to Texas !
starcatcher7777 1 year ago
@starcatcher7777
There are many states that contribute a lot more than Texas.

Really ? Name them ! And what state are you from ? Or are you Euro-trash liberal that thinks your ass is entitled to someone elses capital. wealth and income like some welfare bitch from California -- Pelosi or Boxer
starcatcher7777 1 year ago
@starcatcher7777 I'm from Florida, and I'm pretty sure California produces much more economically than Texas. I actually like Texas, despite the politics there, which are ridiculous, i.e., Rep. Barton today. Do you agree with Barton's apology and think we should be apologizing to BP?? I can't wait for your answer on that...
ZForce33 1 year ago
@ZForce33 :
Well not when you consider what CA owes and consumes vs produces:
Barton made some very good points but did not do them well at all ! Due Process is very important but so is keeping more damage being done to the survival of people slammed by natural disasters and then this CAUSED BY CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE CAUSED BY BP!
Tell me in Obama's mind set of never letting a crisis go to waste what urgency did Obama show or is.. The Greater the Crisis the Greater the Opportunity ?

@Christopher0312 You got that right. I like the state itself, but Texas is home to the most idiotic people in the whole country.
ZForce33 1 year ago
@ZForce33 I have lived in Texas for 12-years now, and I've met quite a few idiots...but I've met quite a few idiots starting from the West Coast all the way to the East Coast where I'm from. There's a lot of moderate Republicans here in Texas that are embarrassed by the loud, rabid Tea Party Neo Cons. Texas does have quite a bit of people who possess the ability to THINK.
kmsmith1210 1 year ago
@kmsmith1210 Yeah, I know what you mean. There are smart people and there are idiots in every state. Unfortunately, extremism is the color Texas is currently being painted, because every time you hear about Texas, it's because a wingnut politician has said something ridiculous - be it about seceeding from the Union, apologizing to BP, threatening to adopt an immigation law like Arizona's, or whatever. Your Governor is making the state into a laughingstock.
