Uh, yeah, right. He just invited the BP CEO over to the White House for a
beer, a few drinks with Eric Holder, some nice discussions and made the CEO
an offer he couldn't refuse.

Please, even an Obama apologist can't be this dense or ignorant of "the
Chicago way"



If a republican had done it, it would be praised as "speaking softly and
carrying a big stick" and don't try any BS like a republican would never
do anything like that.

Suuure. if a Republican had done this, it would have been the lead story
each night, every night on every main stream news show, above the fold on
the NYT, front page in Time, Newsweak, etc with headlines shouting:
'EXECUTIVE ABUSE OF POWER!? PRESIDENT LEVIES FINE, ASSESSES DAMAGES WITH NO
JUDICIAL JUDGMENT!" This story would have led, would be played by the
opposition, used in campaign ads, and would not have gone away until someone
was indicted or fired over it.

You're arguing from a false premise. Republicans don't do things like that.
