British media is making sound like the US is anti-British

pelosi obama refer to british petroleum constantly. There is no such company. BP shares underpin a lot of pensions in the UK and the constant attack and threat of taking the company bankrupt has killed the share price. The withholding of dividends over the threatened confiscation of funds by obama has put a hurt on the UK.

don't agree, calling something by it's old name is not anti-
anything. There's a skyscraper in Houston that's called the Williams Tower, but everybody I know still calls it the Transco Tower, which was its name until 1999.
http://en.wikipedia....ki/Williams_Tower Likewise Kentucky Fried Chicken isn't the name of that company anymore, it's KFC Corporation. If BP shares underpin a lot of their pensions, then that's a major financial mistake the pension planners made and the British Media should be going after the planners for fucking that up, not after the USA for wanting to make sure the cleanup is funded. |
