Now that President Obama has emphasized corporate responsibility on the part of British Petroleum, I would imagine conservatives everywhere manning the battlefields and declaring that the Gulf oil leakage was not man-made, but rather part of a global process that has been naturally occurring for time infinitum.
“I’m ashamed of what happened in the White House yesterday,” Representative Barton (R-Texas) said in his apology to British Petroleum. “I think it is a tragedy of the first proportion that a private corporation can be subjected to what I would characterize as a shakedown — in this case a $20 billion shakedown.”

Obama was taking practical steps in dealing with this oil spillage catastrophy. The response of this Republican Texas Representative was simply one of being a faithful servant to the oil industry.
