So Exxon's lobbyists and givers of gifts put out a lot more cash and benefits to members of Congress and the Democratic party than did BP? So much for democracy and The American Dream.
Over recent years, involvement in two wars, and questionable support for Israel, America’s influence in the Middle East is not perhaps what it once was.Its supply of essential Arab oil is no longer as secure as America might wish.The oil spill, tragic in its own way, has been nonetheless a God-send to long term American interests. All that strategic planning by the the ‘good ol’ US of A’ is working out perfectly.Obama’s intervention in the BP incident has knocked down the BP share price, so now an All-American company can walk in and pick a bargain. More of the world’s oil resources will come directly under American controlled power and influence.And we should be surprised at this takeover, …because?
Good morning John. I'm not surprised because Obama's recent behaviour has shown just how confident he is in achieving his goal, which you explain so well.Publicly destroying people's reputations will now be common place in business. Gone are the days when it occurred behind closed doors.
Obama is all about colour, Subrosa. As ever, the colour of money!
Unfortunately that's the way it works these days Demetrius. That's why people sell their souls to get into politics.
Yes indeed OR but what concerns me about this is the public vitriol he spewed about the BP management - once he became interested of course. I've never heard of such behaviour from a US president.
100 billion pounds could be in reach of an Arab consortium. Exxon would be more interested in BP oil reserves than the company. Exonn found out the hard way about clearing up oil spills.But if Exonn could split BP the company from its oil reserves and leave BP to clean up the mess (caused ,allegedly by US drilling companies)that's a different story!
Lots of speculation around Apogee isn't there? But one thing's for sure BP will have changed hands by this time next year.
Well, what's the special relationship for if you cant fleece your "friends". Wake up UK you've been framed - again!
Hate to say it Dram, but you're right.
I see the prospective US purchasers, not just Exxon, don't have good safety and environmental records either.It just confirms the deceit and hypocrisy of the Obamination.
You're right Fairfacts. In fact it was just yesterday a reader sent me a few links about Exxon's history.But that won't matter to the US. They want the company. They've put their front man out to ensure the price drops low enough to make it worthwhile.
