I guess she forgot that her father and grandfather have had a long-time personal, and financially beneficial relationship with Occidental Petroleum. Her father accepted trips on Armand Hammer's private jet, along with constant campaign contributions. Al Gore also received, and may still be receiving regular payments from a Tennessee land deal his father brokered with Hammer years ago. As well, Gore pushed to let oil companies have access to publicly held land in Casper, Wyoming, and the Elk Hills field in Bakersfield, California. This land had been held as emergency reserves by the U.S. Navy since 1912. In October, 1997, the Energy Department announced that the government would sell 47,000 acres of the Elk Hills reserve to Occidental.
These people are such hypocrites, it's pathetic.
