Oh, well that explains everything.

I knew you'd see it my way.

Thank God he's from Chicago.  Way better than being from Texas.  No corruption in Chicago, no siree bob.

Stupid is as stupid does.  So Obama is Al Capone?  By your logic he must be.  They are both from Chicago.

He's not Italian.

You don't really know that.

Then we basically agree. We see more and more by the day that BP came away stronger as a result of the 20b dollar deal. That makes Barton's apology ridiculous and insulting. The idea that the cutthroats at BP could be 'shaken down' by a two bit face-man like Obama is ridiculous. My impression of the BP execs is that they could leave Obama naked in a barrel in 2 seconds flat. I do agree with Infidel that the contributions are relevant campaign issues. That would definitely taint Barton, but the largest recipient of BP cash is Obama.

I can tell just by looking at him.

I'd suspend the 5th Amendment for that.

Seriously, what one thinks of BP &/or its execs is not the point.  Either the Constitution is The Constitution or it's toilet paper.  Between the Kelo decision & this, I don't see what's to prevent ChavezObama from taking anything he wants from anybody he wants.

wonder how the founders reacted to the gradually expanded notion that natural individual person = corporation...besides rotating in their graves at an increasingly rapid velocity until there long ago ceased to be any remnants therein remaining.

i also wonder how any serious man or woman of authentic american conservative political persuasion who would in any other circumstance claim to be fully supportive of state vs federal sovereignty and just as fully opposed to judicial legislation is somehow able to accept--much worse endorse--the bizarre notion our constitution affords the same rights and protections to corporations as it does natural persons.

next thing ya know the 5th amendment will be voided by enemies of freedom forcing corporate entities to incriminate themselves.   

I see, so only Italian Texans love oil?  You know there is a saying "quit while you are ahead".  In your case, I would advise you to stop while you still are breathing.  You are only making yourself look more stupid by each post.  As evidenced by your stupidity with the following:

I am sure you pigeon hole all your races to fit your bigotry.

just for the record, please cite precedence for your channeling of the founders. (as if you can cite anything).  Or is this just another case of bee pee?

What does oil have to do with Capone?

Why are you jumping to a conclusion? Do you think skin color is the only thing I could be referring to? That's on you, not me.

To simply state that someone is black is not hatred of blacks, but to interpet that statement as racist is racist.

So was Eliot Ness.

It's so sad that you can't see past the color of his skin.
