BP to appeal Gulf oil spill payment ruling to U.S. Supreme Court

[Dustlawyer]

12. You are right about Obama having a negative role in this!

In the summer of 2010, Obama had the mid-terms coming up and it didn't look good. The MSM were starting to whisper that the spill was Obama's Katrina. BP and "independent" Ken Feinberg came to Obama with their bull shit 20 billion dollar fund, Gulf Coast Claims Facility (GCCF). They promised to make the media move on but they required his blessing as well as the Coast Guard. That's when they had the Coast Guard planes spray the Corexit that is killing the Gulf as we speak. Feinberg was later found by the Judge to have not been "independent", and that he had always been BP's agent. That did not invalidate the 250,000 claims he settled for dirt cheap because the people believed he was appointed by Obama and was independent. He offered $5,000 to Oysterman by the hundreds even though the only thing they knew to do was Oystering which was no longer an option. Not having any income and almost all had been denied monthly Interim payments, they felt they had no choice but to take the 5k to feed the family. Obama may have done a lot of good things for this country, but he has turned his back on the victims of the spill.
