BP BAILOUT? GOP Leader Says Taxpayers Should Help BP Pay For Oil Spill

Genius. Minority Leader Boehner says taxpayers should help BP foot the bill for cleaning up the Gulf.

I think the problem here for BP is that at least with the banks there was a good argument that the collapse of one or more major banks would cause a systemic and catastrophic shock to the real economy. Not seeing that with BP getting in money trouble.
