Michelle Anderson doesn’t like Obama saying he’s got some ass to kick at British Petroleum because it makes him “President Pottymouth.”

She thinks everyone is being way too hard on BP:

BP has so far stepped up to the plate. They have promised to pay for all damages. Why would the Administration threaten to sue them for their part in what is clearly an accident if they are not shirking a single duty?

Yeah, BP has been so awesome in how it’s handling its self-created disaster. The well is only spilling 5,000 gallons a day… Oh wait, we’re collecting five times that in our siphon? Oops! But there’s definitely no oil plumes underwater. Oh those? That’s just a very small amount of oil floating around underwater. Is that what you’d call a plume? Oh, it is? Oops!

What is amazing is how quickly someone with a conspiracy bent, like Michelle, is willing to assign bad motives to nearly anyone with even the most remote incentives but won’t assign them to BP. For instance, she’ll reject global warming based on the theory that low paid academics around the world independently and repeatedly invent data showing a warming trend just so they can get a little bit more in grant money, but when BP has the CLEAREST, simplest incentive to behave badly she just ignores it. This is fucking BP, Michelle. They are an oil company, not a cleanup company. They exist solely to make money. They will absolutely try to downplay, hide, and obfuscate to protect their finances. They will pay as little in damages as they possibly can. It is that simple. How naive do you have to be to think that the President should be nice about this because BP has “promised” they will pay for everything?

I’m sure if I went and dumped a barrel of oil in Michelle’s front lawn, she wouldnt sue me or call the police as long as I immediately promised to pay for it. She’d be reasonable about it.

Not a chance. She would want me tarred and feathered. Unless, of course, I was a corporation. Then she’d probably apologize to me because her yard got in the way of my oil.
