Imagine if Bush were president right now, and it was revealed that his chief of staff had lived rent-free in the home of one of BP’s consultants...
We already knew that BP and its folks were significant contributors to the record $750-million war chest of Barack Obama’s 2007-08 campaign.
Now, we learn the details of a connection of Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago mayoral wannabe, current Obama chief of staff, ex-representative, ex-Clinton money man and ex-Windy City political machine go-fer.
Shortly after Obama’s happy inaugural, eyebrows rose slightly upon word that, as a House member, Emanuel had lived the last five years rent-free in a D.C. apartment of Democratic colleague Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut and her husband, Stanley Greenberg....
Greenberg's consulting firm was a prime architect of BP's recent rebranding drive as a green petroleum company, down to green signs and the slogan "Beyond Petroleum."
Greenberg's company is also closely tied to a sister Democratic outfit -- GCS, named for the last initials of Greenberg, James Carville, another Clinton advisor, and Bob Shrum, John Kerry's 2004 campaign manager.
According to published reports, GCS received hundreds of thousands of dollars in political polling contracts in recent years from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

You don't suppose ol' "Deadfish" concocted Obama's feeble, yet humorous, tough-guy talk on NBC, do you?

That was disgraceful and embarassing.
obama does not play the role of tough guy well.

It was funny because Obama has not stop campaigning since himself.

There HAS to be a connection to Bush, Cheney and Haliburton in here somewhere. Blacken and the MSM told me so.

why does this matter? seriously the right wing posters sound more and more like whiney babies with every new post. The oil spill happened because BP didn't follow regulations as well as it could and the government agency in charge didn't back up those regulations. Fire the agency head, review the regulations, allow BP to be fined much more money and be on the hook for all the clean up and payment of lost income to gulf fisherman. Why do we have to dance around saying oh so and so took money from this person, give me a break. This has been happening for decades and now it's an issue? Gosh 333 you're sure you aren't a democrat? Cause you sure whine like one. :'(

Did it ever occur that maybe this admns' pathetic response maybe a result of its conflicts of interest?
