Just 10 minutes into the congressional testimony of BP CEO Tony "I'd like my life back" Hayward he got what he and BP deserved.......a heart felt apology from GOP Rep. Joe Barton of Texas on behalf of the Republican right wing.
For those who don't know who Mr Joe Barton is ...Aside from being a congressman representing the state of Texas, he is the highest-ranking Republican on the Energy and Commerce Committee, a firm conservative who has a long record of backing oil industry interests, and the politician that has recieved the most campain contributions from the oil industry since 1990.....
"I'm ashamed of what happened in the White House yesterday," Barton told Hayward, referring to a $20 billion account funded by BP to help pay damages from the spill and calling it a "shakedown" of the company by the Obama administration.
So forget about the millions of Americans who`s lives have been affected by the negligence of BP, forget about all the American wild life and ecosystems destroyed by the worst oil spill in human history........Lets instead apologize to BP.
