If you'll read further back you'll see what I think of the whole thing and I'm not the one who said that I thought "boot heel to the throat" was over the top.

  Please tell me "ME" where and when did Obama make that statement "Putting the heel of his boot on the throat of BP" was said.

  I have researched all over the place and I can't find it.  I did find that Rand Paul said the statement and put it in the context that Obama said it or thought it.

  You are so persistent about getting everything right, I hope you didn't screwup and would make people think you were nuts.

The Troll  :zzz: waiting for you answer. :dark: :seeya2:

And this is so important because?  He won deal with it.

  I don't want to deal with it and I don't give a damn that he won.  If those dumbass Kentuckians want the Regal, Rich Boy, Racist, Ron's baby boy, that's their problem.  Once he gets to Washington, he'll just walk lockstep like the rest of the Republicans do.

  I still want to know where you got that Obama said he want to "put his boot heel of the throat of BP.  Did you SCREW UP again.

For the last time.....I am not the one that said he said that Rand Paul is the one who said he said that.   Do you need me to turn this up?   :finger01:

No, I need you to explain how you can claim you are not the one saying the POTUS made a crass remark, when you ARE the one that posted this comment:

What he was saying is he heard nothing that indicated they weren't going to pay for the oil spill so why say something as crass as he was going to put a boot heel to their throats like he was going to have to force them to pay.

Rand may have made up the quote, but you are the one who called it crass. It doesn't matter how big and bold and underlined you make your denial. You typed the words.

Let me clarify it then....If he made the remark it was crude and crass.  Now are ya happy?   :rolleyes:

Sure, so long as you comprehend the person making the crude and crass remark was Rand Paul.  Still think it's crude and crass? You used to say who said something mattered more than  what was said. Is Mr. Paul allowed to make up crass remarks?

  The remark that Rand Paul made was not only crude and crass, it was stupid.

  What does Rand Paul think of the oil spill and BP.  Well, accidents happen and that EPA should have no control over BP sprays on the oil spill and what BP does about the oil clean up.

It is rude and crude and here is who said it.

Rand Paul Calls Obama Administration's Criticism of BP in Oil Spill 'Un-American'

Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul kept talking Friday, this time saying that the Obama administration's harsh criticism of BP in connection with the Gulf oil spill sounds un-American.

Paul, who got in trouble this week for seeming to suggest he had issues with the 1964 Civil Rights Act forcing government's will on private businesses, said he was offended by the Obama Cabinet's vow to put a "boot heel on the throat of BP." Rand told ABC's "Good Morning America, "I think that sounds really un-American in his criticism of business." It was actually Interior Secretary Ken Salazar who said he would "keep the boot on the neck" of BP to make sure the oil company met its responsibility to clean up the mess in the Gulf caused by the blowout of one of its deep sea wells.


"When does my honeymoon period start? I had a big victory," Paul said in an interview with host George Stephanopoulos, relayed by the New York Times. "I've just been trashed up and down and they have been saying some things that are untrue. And when they say I'm for repealing the Civil Rights Act, it's absolutely false. It's never been my position . . . "
Rand Paul
Paul, who won the Senate GOP nomination in Kentucky over a more established candidate, is a favorite of the Tea Party movement and the son of Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a libertarian who ran for president as a Republican in 2008. Rand Paul, an eye doctor, is making his first bid for public office -- and getting a hard lesson in how fast a careless comment can roar through cyberspace.

After saying earlier this week he supported the 1964 law but also thought business owners should have some say in how they conducted their operations, Rand asked Friday why no one was grilling Sen. Robert Byrd, 92, about his opposition to the Civil Rights Act more than 40 years ago. Rand also had a comment on the West Virginia mine disaster which left 29 coal miners dead. Coal mining is also big business in Kentucky and the accident was "very tragic," he said. "Then we come in, and it's always someone's fault. Maybe sometimes accidents happen."

Here we are still spewing oil into the ocean over a month later. Last week this "top kill" procedure was supposed to take place by Sunday. . . Then on Saturday it was Monday. . . now they are saying Wednesday. .

Soon it will be August and the relief wells will be completed. . .  :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:
