ATP Oil Exploration Files For Bankruptcy, CEO Blames Obama DIRECTLY For Company's Collapse
They don't understand how things work under Obamunist Fascism, apparently. They obviously didn't pay off the right Democrats, under the table, like other Companies have done!


"ATP Oil CEO Bulmahn wants the world to know that the Obama Administration—and its illegal ban on deepwater drilling in the wake of the BP disaster—is to blame for the implosion of his company. Not him.

“It is all directly attributable to what the government did to us,” he rails. “This Administration has gone out of its way to create problems for my company, the company that I formed from scratch.” He’s more than angry.

Bulmahn, 68, has already brought suit against the U.S. govern- ment seeking damages ($68 million to start with) for the 2010 moratorium that shut down deepwater operations in the Gulf of Mexico for the better part of a year.

In an earlier case brought by ATP and rig company Ensco, Federal District Judge Martin Feldman ruled in May 2011 that the feds “acted unlawfully by unreasonably delaying action” on drilling permit applications. Still, ATP has a long, winding road to any hope of recovering damages from the government (which says it’s protected from claims by sovereign immunity)."

This company had other problems, as well, but Obama's ILLEGAL drilling ban is the direct cause for the bankruptcy.

HOPEY-CHANGEY, SUCKAZ!!!
You voted for this, but did you realize that in 2008?

Or did you think Obama was just kidding?

I bet there are countless other companies that are in the same situation. They do not want to say anything because they will be punished more. Just wait till Obama becomes a private citizen again, then it will all come out.

These companies are probably the "small enough to fail" companies that will be absorbed by Exxon/Mobil or BP since they have O'bammy's nuts in their palms. Why would these companies think there's such a thing as free enterprise in the USA, they should be familiar with the game rules....their campaign contributions were too small.

He's put many small businesses under in this Great Nation. He's a tiresome boor and an pseudo-intellectual thug. Of course, he smiles a lot, tells dumb mother fuckers what they want to hear, and keeps a lot of people focused on 'what Bush did.'

If he gets reelected we are more fucked than ever before. Of course, the alternative is a vanilla version of the mocha wonder.

Speaking of delusions,
You can't really believe that, regardless of party, creed ,color or whatever.....that anyone making it to the presidency, is there for your benefit(?). The position is bought and paid for in advance by the biggest campaign contributions. These contributors are not your friends or have your best interest at heart, it's all about power and money, which most likely you have neither.

I'm sorry for those who are affected. I've worked in the oil and gas industry too. It's volatile, big paydays, then big downturns.

"Jobs" is not sufficient reason to risk another Deepwater Horizon disaster, any more than it's a sufficient reason to frack our deep rock structure and weaken the land we live on and use.

He's permitted a few new nukes.

That seems to be the idea, our baseload is served by nukes rather than coal. The coal plants are deemed too dirty, the nuke plants that create Fukushima risk are not.

ok, so we should have just let them keep drilling while one of the worst oil spills of all time was going on in that area? Fuck that.

The right thing to do was to shut down drilling until they figured out was going on. It would have been irresponsible to allow operations to continue as normal without knowing the details of the situation.

And listen, if you can't make it in the oil business right now, then you have no reason to be in business.

Boo hoo...

There are ways to, as you put it, "dig, strip, burn etc" safely and using environmentally sound methods.

Industry does do this.


The trouble is, people like you think things like computers and cars just magically appear. Either that or you desire the destruction of america.


Or you don't understand that someone has to produce something tangible and that wealth ultimately comes from raw materiels.

Or you are a tax feeder who doesn't understand that in order for you to keep on tax feeding the producers have to produce. If you kill the host then you, the parasite, will die.


But then most parasites aren't intelligent enough to make that connection.

Right now the regulatory, tax and permitting burdens make it nearly impossible to do anything.

Keep it up and we'll all (except for the elite) be living in squalor and misery.

Of course that is obama's intention. And romney's too for that matter.
