BP's (NYSE:BP) Liability $80 Billion?

Reports that government scientists have asserted the amount of oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico on a daily basis could be as high as 40,000 barrels, would put BP's (NYSE:BP) liability at a staggering $80 billion.

Of course these numbers can't in any way be trusted, as government scientists are no different than saying a pimps' prostitute. They both are for sale and do what is told them.

Even the numbers thrown out by the scientists are suspect, as first they hit out at BP for understating the amount of oil leaking into the Gulf at the early stages of the accident, then they now say the spill is from 20,000 to 40,000 barrels a day.

Which is it government scientists? Is it 20,000 or 40,000? The numbers are so far apart as not to be considered credible in any way.

What these so-called scientists are saying in doing is attempting to paint BP in a bad light, but at the same time cover their own worthless rear-ends by using these types of numbers.

Even the 20,000 a day is in line with the original estimates by the government, which were from 12,000 to 19,000 barrels a day. So how does that remain the same on the lower end, while expanding to outrageous numbers on the higher end. Seems like they aren't scientists, but government mouthpieces doing the bidding of their masters.

If those numbers were even close to being accurate, BP would probably be finished as a company, and more than likely the reason they're even seriously being thrown out there is in order to extort more money from BP, or portray them in the light of needing to be taken over, which is what some Democrats have been drooling over to do.

It could also be an attempt to arrest the growing discontent of the British people over how BP has been treated by Obama and his administration, which have brought statesmanship to a new low by their street talk and methodology, rather than respectful dialogue.

Democrats and Obama know they're being watched closely on the financial side of things here, as they've already devastated the country and its financial future in 18 months.

Now they would want nothing better to get control of BP and extract billions out of them in order to keep a distance from spending more in an attempt to take care of the circumstances surrounding the oil spill in the Gulf.

I'm primarily referring to the ridiculous notion that BP should pay for the decision Obama made to impose a 6-month moratorium on oil drilling, which will devastate the region which is so reliant on oil to move their economies.

Obama and the Democrats are unbelievable trying to make BP pay for the unemployment benefits of those Obama has put out of work.

Why this is such an outrage is the oil rigs affected by the moratorium have already been inspected and cleared, and there's simply no reason to keep them from resuming operations.

The whole idea of the moratorium was to take a breather and be sure there weren't other possibilities of an accident happening. Now that that has happened with 29 of the 33 oil rigs still in the Gulf, there is no reason to resume operations and get people working again.
