GOP Rep Trent Franks, in a quote buried in a Politico piece, appeared to say that Obama was “arrogant” in demanding the $20 billion escrow fund from BP:

Trent Franks (R-Ariz.). “Under our laws and Constitution, the president does not possess the power or authority to make such an arrogant command to a private company.”
