Emanuel links fall elections to GOP support of BP
President Barack Obama's chief of staff is warning about what might happen if Republicans�who have defended BP over the Gulf oil spill�were to run Congress after the fall election.
Rahm Emanuel says the GOP philosophy is to paint BP as the victim. He says Obama will make clear to voters the fundamental differences in how each party would govern.
Emanuel tells ABC's "This Week" it would be "dangerous" if the GOP held power in Washington.
He says GOP lawmakers and candidates are attacking the administration for demanding that BP set up a $20 billion compensation fund.
In breaking news, fire = hot and water = wet.
The GOP complaints over the $20B fund are: #1) - the US Government has no authority to tell any company, let alone an English one, how to manage its money and #2) - there is no accountability for this government run fund.
There is no guarantee that the $20B will be given to the people whose lives are impacted by the spill. There is no guarantee that it will not be used to pay off Obama's supporters, union groups and campaign contributors. This is another perfect example of government corruption -- like a small version of the Social Security meltdown...
