The repugicans are opposed to BP paying compensation for oil disaster

And are we surprised?
Seriously, who is advising these people? Oh, yeah, that's right, BP. Never mind.

Batshit Crazy Michele Bachmann:

"The president just called for creating a fund that would be administered by outsiders, which would be more of a redistribution-of-wealth fund," […] "They have to lift the liability cap. But if I was the head of BP, I would let the signal get out there -- 'We're not going to be chumps, and we're not going to be fleeced.' And they shouldn't be. They shouldn't have to be fleeced and make chumps to have to pay for perpetual unemployment and all the rest -- they've got to be legitimate claims."

repugican study committee: (you're joking right)

“BP’s reported willingness to go along with the White House’s new fund suggests that the Obama Administration is hard at work exerting its brand of Chicago-style shakedown politics.
