Snip- The oil giant brought its top brass, and even came armed with a top Clinton administration Justice Department official, Jamie Gorelick, whose name was floated as a possible attorney general pick for Obama. The White House side of the conference table in the Roosevelt Room was stacked: Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, five Cabinet secretaries, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, Attorney General Eric Holder and top presidential advisors. Both sides had their lawyers on hand.
Obama was scheduled to spend 20 minutes in the meeting. He entered the room with an entourage: Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and her coordinator for claims oversight, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Commerce Secrertary Gary Locke, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, and senior advisor Valerie Jarrett.

I can see them trying, with Gorelick's help, to start down the road of "we want to make it up to everyone and green is the way to go...so here...we'll be the first oil company to admit that what all the oil companies are doing is wrong and we want also to be the first to help transform the world economy to a green one".
I just think going green and making billions from doing so has been in BP's thinking for awhile, evidenced by their involvement on the cap and trade bill, and the spill might be the catalyst (they think) to do it. Don't think it's gonna work but my tin foil tells me this is the kind of game they'll try to play.
never let a good crisis go to waste
Bump!
Thank you Glock!
And before they left he met with BP gold.
A 20 billion dollar campaign contribution shakedown.
To be administered by one of Ubama's "impartial third party" czars.
You gotta give the man some credit. He does have brass ones.
nobama is such a feckless oscitant. There...I used the “word for the day”
“Being an oppurtunistic A hole is not a crime.”
