So this is the real crux of this deal. An American company got beat out of the sell by P&O by DP World and because Eller couldn't win in the court of law, they simply lobbyied Warner who said he would look into it. That wasn't enough so he went to Schumer who made hay.

So an American Business lobbied the American Government.
So what??? There's nothing un-American about that!!!

so you won't mind if an American company lobbies in order to support NAFTA, as well as beneficial outsourcing deals to Mexico and India, right?
