GOP Rep. of Texas APOLOGIZES to BP for Obama 'shakedown'


GOP Rep. Joe Barton of Texas — the ranking member on the House Energy Committee — made a decisive splash in his opening remarks. A staunch conservative who has a long record of backing oil industry interests, Barton apologized to BP CEO Tony Hayward for the "shakedown"  the Obama White House pulled on the company. (Barton has received more than $1.5 million in campaign donations from the oil industry, according to Open Secrets, a nonpartisan watchdog group.) You can watch the video here—the apology occurs at the 1:45 mark:

I dont know but it seems GOP, Texas, and big business, especially as related to the oil industry are all in bed with one another.One big happy family.Can anyone say Corruption?? , conflict of interest????.

I'm so sorry that Texas is the laughingstock again because of our representative that we elected. Obviously he isn't in his right mind or thinking of TEXAS.BP Texas, I can understand how he could be confused about who he supports, BP or TEXAS.
