He gave them the Coast Guard who does what BP says. They own the Congress who plays like the Globetrotters vs. the Washington Generals. They have stacked the Federal Courts and Courts of Appeals with Republican Judges who stop any big verdicts that get through. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is one of their primary arms, funneling money where needed so when someone gets out of line, they step in and get them out. The U.S. Chamber has started a few newspapers that are free and given out to prospective jurors. After the first year in print, they realized they needed to sell advertising, not to make money, but to look like a legitimate paper. The rest of the media, you cannot get a negative story written about BP on the Gulf Coast b/c of how much advertising they are spending there. The National media has yet to come down and do follow up stories, I wonder why! The Republican Governors on the Coast have all been bought. Not a peep out of them demanding BP take care of their constituents. The whole game is already rigged but no one will say it! It has already happened, wake up America!
