Obama's Gulf War –
No Credit For Blackmailers Is BP's check in the mail? Would you buy a used car from a BP exec? Those billions they promised? Do they plan to renege If we won't allow them to continue to spill With their Transocean buddies on a Transocean rig? Why would they want to if Transocean's to blame? Hasn't Transocean cost them billions of bucks? If BP's to blame, why's Transocean willing To lease once again to a bunch of dumb clucks? Or are they such liars they don't plan to pay, After going on record to promise they would If we set no limit on how many they kill? Can't anyone see that they're up to no good? The oil they supply is a very small fraction Of the oil we are wasting but think that we need. What better way to begin cutting back Than to make sure their profits are mere chickenfeed? Call their bluff. We don't need them, their spills and their threats. We'll pass more legislation that will settle their hash. The blackmail they threaten should teach us a lesson: Before they drill again, let's insist on hard cash.
