0bama Biggest Recipient of BP Cash

[Cerise]

0bama pretends to look tough by "going after BP" when he is in bed with them.

While the BP oil geyser pumps millions of gallons of petroleum into the Gulf of Mexico, President Barack Obama and members of Congress may have to answer for the millions in campaign contributions they’ve taken from the oil and gas giant over the years.

On top of that, the oil giant has spent millions each year on lobbying — including $15.9 million last year alone — as it has tried to influence energy policy.

During his time in the Senate and while running for president, Obama received a total of $77,051 from the oil giant and is the top recipient of BP PAC and individual money over the past 20 years, according to financial disclosure records.

Seems the the Obama administration let BP push this rig out to make hole while letting them skip the enviro-impact studies.

Campaign money well spent.

Now that changes things.

Good. I can agree with him on this.

Oil is natural but ugly. There is the impact study for all, forever.
