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?

Not I. Bet Lehmans didn't contribute too much. GM has lobbiests in DC
as I write, handing out government money. Even bet when Obama was going
to open up the new areas for drilling he had a company or two in mind.

Ever wonder why Obama hasn't addressed the congressional debt and money
mismanagement issue?

you mean just like bush did?
