Rep. Joe Barton to BP: "I apologize."

Uploaded by repoweramerica on Jun 17, 2010
On June 17, BP CEO Tony Hayward appeared on Capitol Hill to testify for the first time regarding the oil spill disaster. Unbelievably, the ranking committee member, Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX), apologized to the BP CEO, calling it a tragedy that a private corporation was being forced to pay back Gulf Coast victims.
It's absurd, and we need to make sure that our elected leaders will not get away with putting the interests of dirty energy companies ahead of all the rest of us. Please share this video with your friends and tell them to support our efforts to end our addiction to fossil fuels and transition to a clean energy economy.

@bd1965 What's funny is that after Barton finishes, Tony Hayward tells him in so many words that the fund was the right thing to do and Barton is the one out of line.
