I've been in a position where someone owes me a sizable piece of change and ya' kinda do have to waltz with them to a certain extent to get anything out of them... That's what Obama is doing here with BP... He's pounding them just enough so they don't quit on the deal, go banrupt and tell everyone to go screw themselves... It's a fine line... Pound too hard and get perhaps nothin'... Don't pound enough and get nothin'...

If he get's the $20B before BP goes Chapter 11 then it will be a success...
