They haven't. You didn't even take the time to check out their
history. You're the only person that I have heard that is apologetic
for BP. Unbelievable.

Apologetic? I don't believe their history is as bad as you make it out to
be.

$20 billion may not cover it.

Last night Rachel really let Obama have it because of his lack of
action in the Gulf crisis. Apparently she thought his speech didn't
make it.

Now I ask you, if a raving left wing radical like Rachel Maddow can be
critical of Obama, why can't the lefties around here do the same?

I can't deny that BP has a terrible safety record and they are to
blame for the Gulf oil spill. However, they clearly aren't bad enough
that Obama wouldn't accept their campaign contributions.
