Papantonio: BP - The Very Corrupt Side of Dick Cheney - Pt. 2/2

While executives from BP, Halliburton, and Transocean were pulled into Congressional hearings today where they formed a circular firing squad, no one seemed to mention the man who was truly responsible for making sure that the oil industry was able to operate without regulations - Dick Cheney. Mike Papantonio appears on MSNBC's Hardball to tell us why he believes we might actually be able to prosecute Dick Cheney for his cozy relationship with Halliburton that led to this disaster.

I agree that the Bush administration is partly to blame for this, but let's not let Obama slide on this.  He has come out for offshore drilling, and is pretty cozy to BP (just look at the campaign contributions). I can't believe I fell for the hope and change bs.

Dick Cheney: Possibly the "greatest" criminal in the history of Man.

Hitler? Just a dabbler in evil compared to Cheney's achievements. There is no suffficient way to punish this...--I can't even use the term man in reference to...it.

Your vote don't count, because they count the votes. Democracy is an illusion.

Propaganda is to democracy what violence is to a dicatorship. The two main parties are always bought up by the BIG WAR AND BIG BUSINESS Party. So whoever wins, it is business as usual. Presidents are just puppets on a string, the real rulers of this world are never on TV. They are hardly mentioned, and when they are their real power is understated. They control finance, media, politics, etc. And their "god" is satan..

Acts of God, how about the WTC/911 event? 110 acres of concrete and not a chunk on the ground. 8 floors and 4,000 tons per floorx8=32,000tons per sec. Another interesting act is the Plane at 1:20 it is either a contrail or something "whining liberals" have been calling "chemtrails". There are Huge profits to be made on such "accidents". Who cares about $30billion or so? Sheeesh,We live in $Trillions, B's are tiny. Obamanation, a Kenyan Muslim, said we the people own the USA. So everything is OK

Did he blame monkeys??

[tmgrk1]

You know to blame Bush for this is so stupid. If you think it's his fault then tell me that's right tell me how all that is Bush fault?????? You can't. Also this isn't blame the current man in office either. Bottom line it's BP fault. The rushed the job ignored signs things were wrong. All the safety rules are in place for deep water drilling. They just didn't follow them. You all are so blind by hate for one man you will blame anything on him. Grow up

I always hear a lot of attack of Cheney, and I am quite surprise Rumsfeld doesn;t get more scrutiny, I'd say cheney was his bitch

[truthkoolaid]

I still can not believe there really are people in this country that voted for Bush and Cheney, they should prosecute everyone that voted for them also... Bunch of evil ignorant simple minded devil worshipers if you ask me...
