Here is the rest of the exchange that has MSM going bonkers.
WALLACE: Governor, I want to pick up on the point that you just made, which is that you did, as governor of Alaska, go after oil companies, including B.P. in several cases. How do you think the Obama administration has handled the oil spill so far?
PALIN: Well, I think that there is perhaps a hesitancy to — I don’t really know how to put this, Chris, except to say that the oil companies who have so supported President Obama in his campaign and are supportive of him now — I don’t know why the question isn’t asked by the mainstream media and by others if there’s any connection with the contributions made to President Obama and his administration and the support by the oil companies to the administration.
If there’s any connection there to President Obama taking so doggone long to get in there, to dive in there, and grasp the complexity and the potential tragedy that we are seeing here in the Gulf of Mexico — now, if this was President Bush or if this were a Republican in office who hadn’t received as much support even as President Obama has from B.P. and other oil companies, you know the mainstream media would be all over his case in terms of asking questions why the administration didn’t get in there, didn’t get in there and make sure that the regulatory agencies were doing what they were doing with the oversight to make sure that things like this don’t happen.
Awesome interview.
She has had a great weekend.
Go get ‘em, Sarah! ... :-)

I did not notice the Associated Press as being one of the funders of the CRU. Perhaps the CRU get enough from British Petroleum and Shell Oil and other companies interested in demonizing and then taxing CO2 to make the Nuclear, Liquefied Natural Gas and Food to Ethanol businesses more cost competitive. From the CRU web site, look at the bottom of the page. http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/about/history/
From the Climate Research Units own web site you will find a partial list of companies that fund the CRU. It includes: British Petroleum, “Oil, LNG” Broom’s Barn Sugar Beet Research Centre, “Food to Ethanol” The United States Department of Energy, “Nuclear” Irish Electricity Supply Board. “LNG, Nuclear” UK Nirex Ltd. “Nuclear” Sultanate of Oman, “LNG” Shell Oil, “Oil, LNG” Nuclear Installations Inspectorate, “Nuclear” Tate and Lyle. “Food to Ethanol” KFA Germany, “Nuclear” And the climate scientologists have the audacity to claim that the skeptics get funding from ‘Big Oil’!

I loved this part of the question - Palin went after oil companies, including B.P..
Maybe Obama didn’t because they gave him $$.
