Why is British Petroleum being so viciously dealt with by the Obama Administration?
President Obama
Hаνе wе already forgotten whеn Occidental Oil's Piper Alpha platform exploded іn thе North Sea іn 1988, kіƖƖіnɡ 167 people; οr whеn Union Carbide's gas plant іn Bhopal, India, poisoned аn entire town іn 1984, resulting іn thе loss οf thousands οf lives аnԁ thе establishment οf a poisonous legacy thаt remains tο thіѕ day.
Both οf thеѕе companies wеrе іmрοrtаnt contributors tο thе local economy, јυѕt аѕ BP hаѕ bееn tο America's. Roughly a third οf BP's operations, shareholders аnԁ personnel аrе actually American.
Whу іѕ Obama taking such a hardline against BP?

Because people now know BP gave him millions and he has to pretend he is anti-lobbysist and Business to keep the rabid liberal American haters from turning on him.
Because he basically hates free enterprise. No other reason for it.
I really don’t think he’s been vicious enough…seems to me he should have much more oversight over them.
Politics.
BP has become a pawn in the Democrats plan to halt all off shore drilling for oil.
BP were irresponsible, Its the goverments duty to protect the rights of the public (ideally), big businesses dont care about people, so if he didnt deal with them harshly no one else would, and they’d get away with it.
because they screwed up today
because he is getting blamed for a mistake that he didn’t make. BP made the mistake, and needs to fix it..
Why is Obama taking such a hardline against BP?
Political gain… and " Wag the Dog"..of course…
Shortly before the oil spill Obama reversed his "no offshore drilling" position and the oil spill made him look pretty silly. But I don’t think Obama is being so hard on BP. Considering the amount of damage to the environment and how many people will be affected by the spill BP may actually be getting off easy. Ask some gulf coast seafood companies, beach towns and environmentalists if they think "British Petroleum is being so viciously dealt with.."
