From the magazine issue dated May 17, 2010:
- At times BP has enlisted powerful Washington types like Leon Panetta (now CIA director), George Mitchell (now Obama's Middle East envoy), Christine Todd Whitman (the former EPA administrator), and Tom Daschle (the former majority leader) to serve on its various boards of advisers and "independent" panels. In his rounds on Capitol Hill last week, Hayward was escorted by a former aide to Ted Kennedy who now works for the Brunswick Group, a powerhouse public-relations firm recently hired by BP to help it deal with the oil-spill crisis.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL OF THESE PEOPLE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MS. WHITMAN, ARE DEMOCRATS.
Do not believe the hype that tells us that the republicans are the ones in bed with the oil companies. Do your own research and make informed decisions. Neither party has any claim to the truth.
