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?

What happened to that cruise to the Bahamas? Boat collapse?

Just like Obama was the largest recipient of money from Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac and they failed, here he is getting bribed by an oil
company.

I know you are trying to conjure connections of evil, but you're really
not equipped for it.

There is no need to "conjure connections" when they are part of the FEC
record.

what's funny is watching the right spin this as if their guys aren't
bribed. hell, the right wingers on the SCOTUS just ruled a few weeks
ago that companies were free to bribe 'til their heart's content

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

Panicking now? Yesterday according to the right he wasn't moving fast
enough.......

Or, more likely they're concerned about Obama's willingness to allow some
drilling, based on the pseudo claim that oil rigs are safe. If you're trying
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.
