This Week's Stupidest Idea: Gov't takeover of BP



As reported here, Bill Clinton's former labor Secretary said, "We have a national emergency on our hands," Robert Reich, President Bill Clinton's labor secretary, wrote on his website Monday. "No president would allow a nuclear reactor owned by a private for-profit company to melt down in the United States while remaining under the direct control of that company. The meltdown in the Gulf is the environmental equivalent."

Reich said a federal takeover of BP is the only way to provide transparency, guarantee competency and ensure Obama is in charge.

Oh Really?????????

1. BP is working night and day to stop the flow and is the only one with the technology to do so.

2. What does Obama bring to the table to improve on BP's effort?

3. Does Obama want to directly grab the reigns of such a disaster? That is not his typical "M.O."

Oh, but the prospect of this is so tantalizing to the left because it would be the realization of another dream: Gov't control of the Oil Industry, another enemy of the State and downtrodden workers everywhere.

More leftist liberal tripe.
