Rand Paul: Obama's criticism of BP 'un-American'

Taking another unconventional stand, Kentucky's Republican Senate nominee Rand Paul criticized President Barack Obama's handling of the Gulf oil spill Friday as putting "his boot heel on the throat of BP" and "really un-American."

Paul's defense of the oil company came during an interview as he tried to explain his controversial take on civil rights law, an issue that has overtaken his campaign since his victory in Tuesday's GOP primary.

"What I don't like from the president's administration is this sort of, 'I'll put my boot heel on the throat of BP,'" Paul said in an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America.""I think that sounds really un-American in his criticism of business."

Other Republicans have criticized the administration's handling of the oil spill, but few have been so vocal in defending BP, the company responsible for the deep well and offshore rig that exploded last month, killing 11 workers.


..more..

Obviously, his degree isn't in subtlety.

but I bet he has ideas of someday doin' the presidentin' thing... :eyes:

Now, get yourself down to the gulf, Mr. Paul, 'cuz we all want your honest opinion on what's what down there :sarcasm:

Shit happens, crybaby Kentucky coal miners.

The more people will see just how flawed libertarianism really is.

60 minuties does a program on the deep water horizon
and exposes BP and Obama imho is not being tough enough
then comes Mr. "Conditional Racism" and morphs into Mr. "Stinky Oily"

not the other way around.

Thanks for the thread, G_j.

Good to see someone put on their big girl blouse and tell it like it is chap.


:rofl:


Need I add? :sarcasm:
