Jolly Good Deal, Mr. Prez!
After his speech last night I thought to myself...we're so skrood.
But then, all of a sudden I'm watching Ed Schultz describing the results of the meeting with the Chairman of the Board of BP and our President today.
Although Mr. fancy pants Chairman referred to the shrimpers, etc. as "the small people," who cares? Just pay up, deadbeat!
Looks like Mr. BP agreed to put $20 Billion in an escrow account to cover damages, and another $100 Million to compensate oil workers who have lost their jobs due to the moratorium on deepwater drilling that was put into place after the April 20 Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion.
