| Pelosi says BP lacks of integrity |

| [Iran Press TV Latest] US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has strongly criticized BP over the Gulf of Mexico oil leak which has turned into the biggest environmental disaster in the US history. "It is clear that there was a lack of integrity on the part of BP," Pelosi told reporters in the White House driveway upon emerging from a congressional leaders meeting with President Obama on Thursday. "That's right. You heard me. And they've got turkeyneck. And they use too much botox! Pelosi questioned BP's authenticity about "the adequacy of their technology, the sufficiency of blowout prevention and the capacity to clean up." Pelosi has also called for a suspension of BP's dividend to ensure that compensation is paid to oil spill victims. BP has come under fire by US officials for failing to cap ruptured under water well since April 20. The BP oil leak started following an explosion at the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon oil rig which left 11 people dead on April 20. |

| #10 @whatadeal: focusing on the leak would be 'solving a problem' and that is something nancy has even less expertise in than 'integrity' |

| #7 Pelosi has also called for a suspension of BP's dividend to ensure that compensation is paid to oil spill victims. The US Speaker of the House is calling for defacto government seizure of private assets because the arbitrary pay out figure ($75 million) previously set by government may be inadequate. And BHO is already looking to broaden the definition of “oil spill victims” to include employees of the energy sector affected by his decision to arbitrarily suspend offshore exploration. Something tells me Hugo Chavez may soon suffer from uncontrollable laughing attacks. |

| #5 Pelosi actually knows a great deal about lack of integrity. She is experienced and expert in this matter. Or in other words "Pot calling the kettle black." |

| #3 See also, Obama blames "British BP' According to Bloomberg, BP has been selling billions of $ of current oil production and buying far future (10 year) oil futures* (commodity producers normally do the opposite) even though these futures are at a $10 premium to current prices, which indicates to me BP are preparing for the worst case of abandoning their US operations entirely. *Turn on the taps, produce as much oil as soon as possible and to hell with maximizing the long term production. |
