How Do People Feel About Republicans In Congress Apologizing To BP For The Gulf Oil Disaster?
When BP CEO Tony Hayward testified before Congress this morning, many expected to hear him apologize for the disaster his company has caused which is destroying the gulf of Mexico and the southern coast of the United States, and may also soon spread to the east coast. Instead, Republican Congressman Joe Barton was the one saying he was sorry — to BP.
In his opening statement, Barton, the top Republican on the committee overseeing the oil spill and its aftermath, delivered a personal apology to the oil giant. He said the $20 billion fund that President Obama directed BP to establish to provide relief to the victims of the oil disaster was a "tragedy in the first proportion." Because, as a typical Republican, he is more interested in representing industry and big oil corporations, not the American people he is supposed to represent.
Other Republicans are echoing his call. Republican Sen. John Cornyn said he "shares" Barton's concern. Republican Michele Bachmann said that BP shouldn't agree to be "fleeced." She feels making BP take responsibility to compensate those whose livelihoods have been destroyed by BP is a bad idea. Rush Limbaugh the king of promoting corporate America over its citizens, called it a "bailout." How about that for typical Limbaugh irresponsible and backwards thinking!? The Republican Study Committee, with its 114 members in the House, called it a "shakedown." BP is not eve and American owned company so these Republican are not even taking the side of Americans corporations over American people. They are taking the side of foreign corporations, careless foreign corporations who are destroying our nations coastline at that, over the interests of the American people!
This fund is a major victory for the people of the Gulf. It's a key step toward making them whole again. BP has a responsibility to those whose lives and livelihoods have been devastated by the disaster. And BP oil executives don't deserve an apology — the people of the Gulf do.
Now if we can just get the Republican Party to think about the needs of the American people for once and stop BSing us and selling the US out to corporations, foreign or domestic!
