The vice president calls Rep. Joe Barton's comments 'out of touch.' AP Close

Vice President Biden said Thursday that Rep. Joe Barton s accusation that the White House had arranged a $20 billion shakedown with BP is outrageous.

I find it incredibly insensitive, incredibly out of touch, Biden said at the White House daily briefing.

There's no shakedown, he added. I find it outrageous to suggest that if in fact we insisted that BP demonstrate their preparedness to put aside billions of dollars ... to take care of the immediate needs of people who are drowning.

Gulf residents don't have deep pockets, Biden said, adding that Barton's comment was astounding.
