How does Obama demand 20 million out of BP with out a lawsuit or civil agreement?
Can Obama call me and demand 20 million?
Who's next?
Is Obama behaving like a Dictator?

Somebody needs to demand something out of BP LOL. WTF?!?!? So if Obama stays in DC and says, "we're monitoring the situation", he's not doing enough? And he looks weak. But if he gets too aggressive and says, "BP needs to do more!", now he's starting to look like a Russian from the 70s. I swear the man is damned in people's eye's regardless of what decision he makes. Something I got a kick out of, my father said. The conservatives in that area show how simple minded they are when situations like these arise. They hate big goverment and want big goverment out of their lives, yet when something like this happens, they start begging for the goverment to do more for them. My pop being an ol' school militant minded African American put it, "they're begging for assistance from a Nigga representing Big Goverment. Ya gotta love it!"

ROFL.
Matthew 11:16 -19 "How can I account for this generation? The people have been like spoiled children whining to their parents, 'We wanted to skip rope, and you were always too tired; we wanted to talk, but you were always too busy.' John came fasting and they called him crazy. I came feasting and they called me a lush, a friend of the riffraff. Opinion polls don't count for much, do they? The proof of the pudding is in the eating." MSG
Damned if he doesn't, damned if he does!
Lose-lose situation.

Let's say I decide to behave totally recklessly tonight... I get drunk... get in my car and run into a bunch of kids waiting on a school bus and kill them. Horrible...Horrible...
What if a mob comes to my home and demands I take all the money I have made last year and put it into and "escrow" account for their damages? Is that how it works? No, there is a legal proceeding that must take place. That is what bothers people. Should BP be help responsible and made to pay for every nickle of damage they caused, absolutely.
Like I said, If Obama can take BP's 20 Billion he can shake me down for my 20k.
I mean I wouldn't be opposed to an emergency legal action requiring BP to disclose and freeze assets till this is sorted out. But just shaking them down like thugs is crazy? If the IRS came to my house saying I owed them money, the first thing I say is show me the court order. If I was to pay the IRS voluntarily you better believe it is a settlement and I have it in writing I owe no more after this.

No. He is behaving like a President whose job is to protect his constituents. (Though I wish he would connect with his inner dictator sometimes.)
Your question and your analogy are ill-conceived, to say the least.

Substitute "police" (legal authority) for "mob" (vigilantism)for a start.
The President has done nothing criminal to BP - he is acting within his legal authority.
(Perhaps you should get a definition of the word "dictator" before you start tossing it around.)
