Which word did he use that could even be considered saying BP wasn't responsible? Or standing up for BP in committing the Oil spill? Which words did he use that even came close to "I am so sorry someone made you clean up your mess"?
I am ashamed that Rep Barton caved and Knuckled under. I am the ONLY One On this Board that I know of who is really effected by the oil spill. It Directly effects my business, not some Oh that's a terrible thing *wring hands* *whine whine whine* about something that you don't know about or has anything to do with you or really effect your life. |
Firstly, John, who are you talking to now?
To speak on what I could understand of what you said, about him saying specific words...let me clarify why people take this as him defending BP. He said he was ashamed that the Obama admin. got 20 million from BP to repair the damage (which is a fraction of what it would take btw). He said he was ashamed of that. Ashamed that the government wanted them to pay for the mess they made. Why would someone be "ashamed" of that? Wouldn't it make you ask "Why is he defending BP in this?" or "Who pays his bills?". I have a feeling he has oil interests or ties that will eventually come to light.
Anyways later on, apparently he too saw the danger in what he said, because he then apologized, saying he holds BP responsible. But then, if he holds BP responsible as he said in his backtracking, then again, why would he be ashamed for them being held responsible? Either he is or he is not. He seemed to say one thing then say the opposite afterward. Are we clear now?
