Nice going, Mr. President! Thanks for grabbing BP by the short hairs. Thanks for making them put Gulf Coast restitution and restoration on the lay-away.

In a half-hour meeting, President Obama got the BP buccaneers to plunk down a $20 billion deposit against liabilty claims. He also squeezed them for $100 million against lost wages.

The GOP has spent weeks throttling a bill to raise oil drillers' liability to $10 billion. The president ran the table on BP and their GOP button men in a thirty minute meeting.

Now that's Large Dee Democracy for ya.

Thanks, President Obama!
