In more of an, I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine agreement, both Nobel Prize winning Barack Obama and Tony Hayward mutually agreed that having an “independent” third party dole out the $20 Billion escrow funds would serve both of their political interests best. So when Nobel Prize winning Barack Obama said today, “What this is about is accountability, at the end of the day that is what every American wants and expects,” what Nobel Prize winning Barack Obama actually meant was, at the end of the day, don’t even think about ever holding me responsible if, for some unforeseen bureaucratic reason, some oil spill victims don’t get fully compensated. Now that’s the kind of take-charge leadership America has been waiting for – or should I say, expected.
