Obama Needs To Use His Bully Pulpit To Force Congress Into Raising The Liability Limit.......

[global1]

the Menendez bill that keeps on getting stopped by the Repugs. He needs to hammer them and let the American people know that it is the Repugs that are preventing that from happening. We all know that if and when BP is successful in stopping this gusher that they will do everything that they can to limit their liability and tie this up in litigation for decades. So Congress needs to act now to get this liability limit raised - and it should be unlimited liability and BP should be held accountable for every aspect of the damages that they've foisted upon us.

If Congress doesn't do this - a question - can Obama use his Executive Order powers to raise it himself?

1. An answer: no.

Too many people left the polling booth in ‘08, saying to themselves ‘That’s done! Now we have our Bush—and he better start yelling, and breaking shit, and stuff.”

Ex con-law profs don't break shit.
