Joe Barton Apology
Loading...
Uploaded by rocknroll0011 on Jun 17, 2010
Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) apologized today for his apology to BP, but not before Vice President Joe Biden and other Democrats could blast him for his remarks sympathizing with the oil giant that caused the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Other Republicans in Congress are even calling for him to step down from his position as top Republican in the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
During a congressional hearing this morning, Barton suggested that BP's $20 billion contribution to an escrow fund for damages from the oil spill came after a White House "shakedown," and he apologized to BP CEO Tony Hayward for the so-called "shakedown." He was referring to BP's agreement, at the urging of the White House, to make the contribution to an independently-run fund.

This is absolutely absurd!! Are we going to apologize to Toyota for treating them badly when we the brakes don't work. Should we apologize to Osama Bin Ladin for treating him unfairly after 9/11. Fire this moron!!!!
