Don't worry, Obama accepts responsibility of the oil leak. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama
Misquoted the article... Obama takes responsibility for FIXING the leak. Not for the leak itself. Difference there.Don't worry, Obama accepts responsibility of the oil leak. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama

http://renovomedia.com/politics/obama-top-recipient-of-bp-campaign-contributions/Obama said that he had been in charge since the beginning and BP had been taking orders from the FEDS since the well blew out. It seems to me that this lets BP off the hook for everything after day one.
That deserves a *face palm*

Obama Top Recipient of BP Campaign Contributions-
BP and its employees have given more than $3.5 million to federal candidates over the past 20 years, with the largest chunk of their money going to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Donations come from a mix of employees and the company’s political action committees — $2.89 million flowed to campaigns from BP-related PACs and about $638,000 came from individuals.
During his time in the Senate and while running for president, Obama received a total of $77,051 from the oil giant and is the top recipient of BP PAC and individual money over the past 20 years, according to financial disclosure records.
