What’s funny is Bachmann is saying the fund might get politicized….which is exactly what she’s doing, using it to try and gain political advantage by trying to make Obama and dems look like they’re doing something bad. How dare they try and secure funds to hopefully reimburse all the people who’s livelihoods are completely ruined right now instead of waiting 20 years like many people did for Exxon.

…now if something happens to the money other then what it’s supposed to be for then by all means, politicize it to make people look bad. Until then, stfu.

Last month it was Toyota that got attacked on Capitol Hill, with the CEO forced to scrape and bow before Congressional windbags. Two months ago it was Goldman Sachs. Before that it was health insurers and AIG and automakers and Citibank. This week it is BP on the hot seat. The Democrats play to their base by demonizing business, and every month they need a new victim to sacrifice to please the cheering crowds. And then they wonder why corporations aren’t hiring and expanding their businesses in the United States. You can call the $20 billion taken from BP whatever you want — extortion or whatever — but the end result is the same. Companies will put operations in friendlier countries where they won’t get this kind of shakedown. The Democrats please their base, but will ultimately destroy the economy.

JESUS CHRIST bachmann is such a stupid fuckin bitch….

…….because you know how they rounded up tha japs right.,.,,.right,.,.fuckin cencus.,.theyre comin for ya,you better get your guns b4 communist obama takes em away n gives yer job to a mexican.,,.,

fuck

This woman is a completely opportunistic WEASEL. ANYTHING…ANYTHING…to destroy Obama. Complete BS

@felix…….”The Democrats play to their base by demonizing business”

yea but when all is done and said,..,who wins felix?

wallstreet and the hc industry are bigger and more powerful than ever because of govt intervention(Obama admin) aka tax payer $$$

when losses are socialized and profits are privatized, thats corporatism,.,.NOT SOCIALISM

Bill is wrong on the BP funds and was rude to Ms Bachmann. He asked for her opinion, then loudly demanded she listen to his SPIN like some deranged MSNBC host. O’Reilly needs to study up on the rule of law and swear off the swinish behavior.

O’Reilly also needs to stop trying to find ways to slip his pal in the White House slack for being incompetent. Have you noticed how knowledgeable guests on the O’Reilly Factor have stopped trying explain complex things to Bill. It’s not hard to picture him wearing a dunce hat when spouting his own thoughts.

What is that smell? And, is anyone moderating this site.

I never thought I’d SAY this, but Bill O’Reilly is nothing more than a RINO just like ShepTURD Smith!!1 He needs to SHAPE UP or SHIP OUT to join the other LIBS over on MS-PEE-ON-ME!!1 He’s really missing the BOAT here … the new breed of TEA PARTY PATRIOT candidates like Rand Paul, Sharron Angle, and of course the SEXY and SANE Ms. Bachmann will ENSURE Republican LANDSLIDES in ’10 and ’12!!1 They are NOT EMBARASSING at all, no matter what the SOCIOFASCISTS and CHICAGO THUGS say!!1

that’s GolD kArl!!!2 GOLD!!!!@2

It’s great to see ones failures in the comic profession , use internet sites to continue to try .

Karl’s intentional ridiculousness provides a welcome break from the accidental ridiculousness of every single other person who comments here.

Note to Michele Bachmann:
If you cut off your thumb with a kitchen knife, do not–I repeat–DO NOT use a kitchen towel as a bandage. Yes, it may be an emergency where every second counts, but please, please follow the process and go get a gauze bandage, as it says in the manual. Sure, the towel is quicker, but that is not its purpose, so leave it alone. Don’t let anyone bully you into a make-do tourniquet either. I know you’ll do the right thing. Just don’t bleed on the floor.

To Felixw…. You are a moron.

It’s a pure fact that Dems try to do right by the people, while the Republicans try to right by the people with money.

Trying to make a case for businesses who try to get away with screwing their employees and the public in general to line the pockets of their senior staff and board members is insane. Regulation is needed to patrol them so that people don’t die on oil rigs when someone tries corners to get a job done a little cheaper. Can you imagine how much money Bp yields of any rig in comparison to what it cost to build a rig?

So you can take your far right, gun toting, Freedom Works loving behind and go get an education about why companies who hold the lives of people in their hands need to be regulated.

@ Karl_Spensen
lol….I can’t breathe. MS-PEE-ON-ME hahaha

Hawk, you think the Democrats do right by the people? Ask the people who lost their jobs this week from Obama’s moratorium on offshore oil drilling. Ask the people who can’t get a job because businesses are afraid to hire in such an anti-corporation environment. Ask the people who see their taxes go up next year. Ask the people — the vast majority of Americans — who begged the politicians not to pass this budget-destroying healthcare bill, only to see it force through via backroom deals and slimy political backscratching.

The only place where jobs have been created during the Obama administration is Washington, D.C., where bureaucrats and lobbyists are getting pay-offs and sweetheart deals. Meanwhile the economy is tanking, no one can find a job, and the government is spending its way to bankruptcy.

So much, for the people.

BP made the decision to put up the cash, so why question it?

So the oil industry is unregulated? What did the Sec. of the Interior say about that?

“Salazar has proposed creating an environmental and safety office within MMS that would be separate from its leasing and royalty division.

He also said, compared with the rest of the world, the United States has some of the most robust offshore regulations.

Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon, a coastal state with a strong environmental ethic, came out swinging, asking if the Minerals Management Service had simply taken the industry’s word for it that drilling was safe.

Mr. Salazar replied, “I think there is additional work that should have been done with respect to blowout protector mechanisms.”

“This incident should never have happened,’’ he said.

Mr. Wyden said, “Minerals Management basically accepted the assurance of industry that the chance of a blowout was too remote to worry about.”

But Mr. Salazar differed. “The conclusion that this is an unregulated industry is not correct; it is a highly regulated industry,’’ he said. “We have one of the most regulated industries in the world.”

murf – Are you writing from re-hab?

You know, I think BillO is finally getting embarrassed by the unhinged right wing loons like Beck and Bachmann. Most people dismiss Beck as the con artist he is, but Bachmann represent the US congress and is nothing short of a national embarrassment; like the tea-baggers.

Ted who still uses the ‘ teabagger ‘ term anymore ? How old are you ?

Bachmann and her fellow idiot congress members couldn’t recognize a drilling bit with two hands and two tries. They know zero about the oil industry and for them to act like they do is awful. Congress is an embarrassment They should just shut up.

murf – tea-baggers. What is the highest grade you completed?

dawgs, teddy like that black pres- he had his head in Obbama’s black ass for 18 months. dat teddy, he belief every ding dat Obbama says. dat white man is da bombb

Ever since O’Reilly interviewed obama he will not say a bad word about him or Mrs. O. He constantly defends both of them. I won;t even watch his show anymore. He needs to turn it over to Laura Ingram. He actually said that when Michelle said that she had never been proud of her country that she misspoke. PULEESE. That’s this admins favorite word.

BillSays – SO GLAD you’re back with your HILARIOUS “dumb black” routine!!1 As I’ve said before, as much as I hate GIMMICK COMMENTERS with some kind of stupid “schtick”, YOUR satirical point of view is not only FUNNY but it also makes an IMPORTANT POINT!!1 GOD BLESS you and your important work!!!1

OH! So you only watch shows that talk about their hatred for the President of the US? That’s real intelligent. Did you feel the same way during the Bush years? I kind of doubt it.

Hahaha good one Bania! How dare Karl call out a moronic racist! See you at the Tea Party!

Not that there’s anything wrong with that .

Bania , Karl if that’s his real name _ reminds me of a progressive Jordan O’ keefe and the shamWOW dude . The dude on the piano/ keyboard looks like he has warrants for his arrest … Oh and SKA sucks .

Murf,

You have left four comments on this thread, none of which relate to the main article. Start contributing or stop trolling.

This says a person with a troll name , for the love god you people need to live and let go . I appeciate your concern teabagger dude

Frances, the Swedish guy wasn’t talking about “the little people.” He was talking about “the small people. ” Y’know, the folks who live near the Gulf of Munchkinland?

She just simply can’t get herself to say Obama has done ANYTHING right. O’Reilly put her on the spot more than once trying to get her to admit something Obama did correctly or well, and she goes off into pointless tangents acting like she cares to solve any problems regarding this spill. But, no, it’s all about attacking the President. Has he handled the oil spill the best way? Certainly not… but you’ve got to find something positive in this whole matter.

And does she actually claim that a Democratic congress is going to “investigate” a Democratic administration? Who’s talking about investigating Obama? He didn’t commit any criminal acts… BP did. This woman is crazy… her main goal has always been to divert to attention from who/what the real culprit in everything is and put light on conspiracy theories and fake scandals to attack Obama. That has been evident since the very first day he was in office. If you want to get after Obama on something legitimate, go ahead, but this is ridiculous and a waste of time.

Murf,

The nicknames are used simply as identifiers. Either you are here to read and comment on the articles or you are here to troll. Which is it?

Example:

Michelle Bachman is an attention whore seeking the media spotlight. She is a disgrace to the congress and a credit to teabaggers.

Teabagger what are you here to do ? pick and choose a poster whose position you disagree with? Don’t worry about me bro , that pix you have is a sign of a serious homosexual obession with Bill . Did u take time out of your day to google that image ? Haha good times

That is just it. You don’t have a position on the article. You are a troll and a teabagger..

Teabagger

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyMPXV5CLNs&sns=em

Do you idiots know the difference between a tea-bagger and a tea-bagee? I’m starting to think alot of you fascinated with the word may be of the tea-bagee type.

Senator Ben Nelson (D) is also questioning the constitutionality of the $20B fund….and yet, silence from the media. It really is laughtastic to watch how the media works hand in glove with the DNC to focus their rage at republicans only even though there is some equal concern expressed by democrats.

Too funny.

That’s what happened when you put them on the spot.

Like Ben Nelson, the media is beholden to their corporate interests. They will only cover something that they know will generate ratings.

The hatetriots are mad because their tebagger mascot got semi challenged by Bill-O the clown, HA!

the real john t says:OH! So you only watch shows that talk about their hatred for the President of the US? That’s real intelligent. Did you feel the same way during the Bush years? I kind of doubt it.

I will admit I am a Conservative and a Bush supporter but I didn’t agree with him on everything especially the Border problem. Bush was trashed by the media and the libs from the day he was elected and it has never stopped. I did not vote for the current person in the WH and do not support his socialist agenda and would like the media to tell the American people the truth about him and his thugs. You are entitled to your opinion and so am I, doesn’t make yours right or mine wrong.

O’Reilly needs to stop defending Obama and get on the “right” side of issues again. Both he and Geraldo Rivera are casting the wrong “leftist” message on immigration in Arizona. Neither live here, neither have done their own research. They are welcomed to camp out in the southern counties of the state and see the as they “struggle to fill out their immigration forms while balancing their AK-47 on the laps”. Get the truth before broadcasting bullshit!

Too bad the media wasn’t working “hand in glove” (you know someone is an idiot when they mangle axioms and metaphors) wit the DNC during the run-up to the Iraq war of choice, or when eight years of lax regulation from the Bush administration led us to where are today.
Ever see Cat on a Hot Tin Roof?
Obama is the House Negro in the white jacket tasked with cleaning up Massa’s kids after they have destroyed themselves and their families though reckless, drunken, self-destructive entitled behavior.
And there is a lot to clean-up after eight years of junior’s foolish drunken excess.

Choked on a pretzel my ass. How about he passed out from being drunk?

Michell Bachman is the lowest of the low. She must come from a the last of the Jukes and the Kakikaks. If there is someone stupider in congress it would be difficult to tell. She has opened her mouth so often with ignorance and blazing blather they should impeach her. I can’t believe the people of Minnesota are the low class to continue her. The state is one of our best. They must like high crimes and misdemeanors and high jinks. Which is it? Bachman makes Sarah Palin look like a beauty queen with something to say. Michell is in the political world so deep in denial and lies, she makes the Mariana Trench look shallow.

Ever since O’Reilly was invited to the WH CHristmas party he has been drooling over the couple. If there is overwhelming opposition to any action taken by the WH, he will say ” Most folks agree with you” but will not state his agreement.
Both he and Geraldo Rivera are taking the wrong people to task. He is constantly suggesting he can chase down issues like immigration, for the WH. He wants soooo bad to be an advisor – he has sold out to the WH.

The only reason he is #1 is because of the timeslot. If they put either Laura Ingraham or Megyn Kelly on at 8pm Fox will do the smart thing. Make this baffoon a commentator on the local Fox channel.

Murphy0071 – If you are looking for a stupider member of congress look no further than Rep. Hank Johnson. Anyone that fears that Guam might tip over and capsize because of an additional 8,000 people qualifies as the stupidest person in congress.

It’s amazing how she contradicts her under pressure from Bill. She also states BP gave Obama money. I thought it was a fund for victims to be compensated. She is an idiot and a classic example of psycho talk.

You know, it really shows alot about how people like Michelle Bachmann think when they get put in situations like this. At a time like this when we have a serious problem in the Gulf, we should be able to overlook left and right and understand that Americans are being effected. No matter which side of the isle you sit on u should be able to see that. I personally understand that many people’s “personal politics” might not agree with BP ponying up money, but we should all understand that it’s the right thing to do for the people. So by all means feel free to make it about everything else than the point of the matter, and say it’s government overreach, or BillO has a bromance with Pres. Obama, but (and I really can’t believe I’m saying this), I think we could all take a lesson out of BillO’s playbook and get past the politics and realize whats best for the people of the Gulf, and I’m pretty sure that $20B is a huge step in the right direction…

Go to the Gulf. Go now. Take your family. Fill those hotels, restaurants and nightclubs. Hire a fisherman to take you out to see the damage. Buy Gulf of Mexico souvenirs. Swim in the hotel pools. Have breakfast in bed for a change. Buy some beach clothing while you are there, never know when you might need it. Keep the coffers full. Go to the Gulf now. Prove that BP can’t beat us up. Go to the Gulf.

These are the same people who want Obama to suspend the “Jones law” to bring in foreign supertankers to clean up the spill. So on one hand they attack Obama for violating the law (with regards to the $20 billion fund), and on the other hand they attack him for not violating the law. Basically, they attack Obama no matter what he does.

OMG!!!!! he really does live in his mothers basement!!!!
