Shocking that an elected official in the US could apologize to a company whose actions have decimated the environment as badly as the BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill. But alas, Joe Barton does it. Not only does he apologize to BP’s Tony Hayward but equates the attack on BP to a “Shakedown.”
Joe Barton is the Republican congressman representing the 6th District of Texas. That would be the four counties South of Dallas/Ft. Worth. He’s held that position since 1985. Before being elected to congress, Barton was a consultant for the Atlantic Richfield Oil & Gas Company, also known as ARCO, a subsidiary of BP OIL! Not to mention he’s recieved over $1.4 million in campaign contributions from the oil industry. Now you know the rest of the story.
