Or, more likely they're concerned about Obama's willingness to allow some

to make the claim that Obama has more invested in Big Oil than the big oil
men Bush and Cheney, you've got a tough road ahead.

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?

Which is dirtier, the Obama admin or oil?
Corruption, corruption, coruption.

you guys DO know that it was cheney who elminated a clinton era rule
requiring blowout preventers to have acoustic switches, right?

that would have prevented this whole thing. but cheney wanted to save
BP $500,000.

how'd that work out?
