Stimulus Proposal for BP Shareholders
President Obama this morning angerly warned BP that it better not pay out millions of dollars in stock dividends to the shareholders while it was “nickel and diming” the residents and business interests in the Gulf area.
When it was pointed out to the President that millions of people including retirees and pension funds depend on the dividend income to help pay for living expenses he immediately assailed BP for considering a dividend cut . ”My daughter interrupted a cabinet meeting this afternoon,” the President explained, “and asked, ‘Daddy have you paid the dividend been paid yet’?'” He promised her he would not let BP ”nickel and dime” the American shareholder as he outlined a six-billion dollar stimulus plan for all BP shareholders.

Dear Mr. Wry, I have spent most of my career as an attorney. I have never come across anyone in political life who was both honest and stupid, until now. The norm is usually dishonest and smart, occasionally dishonest and stupid. President Obama has set a new standard. You have pegged him correctly! He is the kind of guy you ask, “do you have two tens for a five”. He will give you two tens, probably not his money!…..I have several favorite quotes to live my life by: 1. I never vote for anyone, I vote against..2.Horse sense is the thing a horse has that keeps it from betting on people..and finally 3.A clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath!
