I have been wondering why the Obama admin seems to be panicking over
the BP oil spill. Now it turns out that Obama was the recipient of
the largest amount of BP money. According to the Washington Post,
here is what BP got in return:

"The Interior Department exempted BP’s calamitous Gulf of Mexico
drilling operation from a detailed environmental impact analysis last
year, according to government documents, after three reviews of the
area concluded that a massive oil spill was unlikely."

How 'bout that? Anybody surprised?


I haven't seen anyone besides Limbaugh and Palin in a panic over the BP
spills. Do you actually have a point, aside from the one on the top of
your head?

Maybe they didn't take the money from BP for promises.

guess canuck doesn't know that it was dick cheney who elminated the
clinton regulation forcing oil companies to put acoustic switches on
the blowout preventers.

saved BP 500K. i'm sure they appreciate it.
