I'd also suggest to you, Steve, that if BP didn't think the deal was fair, they can go to court. They really CAN. So, what ISN'T fair when you've got and offer, and acceptance of that offer??

Here's the thing, I'm all for BP taking care of the whole stinkin' mess. I'm not fond of my government being a bunch of domestic jackbooted thugs looking for whose a$$ to kick, particularly while genuflecting to dictators and apologizing for America.

If he had the government's ear, he'd tell them to stop berating the company to the point where BP would find it appealing to use bankruptcy to limit its liabilities..

Here is one of the comments he made to Wall Street CEOs when he wanted to do some jaw jawing .

"My administration is the only thing standing between you and the pitchforks,''

As I recall ,private investors suddenly got very interested in recapitalizing the zombies.
