A British perspective on Obama

Related to the BP Oil Spill, and how he's reacted to it. Specifically, his populist bullying of them. Though it's not just him, it's all of the Democrat (aka the people that run the federal government by themselves) leadership, as the article notes. You would think the rule of law would matter to an ex-law professor. But, politics and populism matter more I guess.

Maybe, just maybe the liability going forward because that would, at least theoretically, help with safety issues going forward. And would mean following the rule of law, which should be something care about. Even if it's morally uncomfortable at times.
