I thought this thread was about the GOP apologizing to big oil for the "shakedown" by the White House?

It's completely absurd and indefensible that anyone would defend Rep. Barton and a party that has repeatedly stood in the way of legislation that would reign in the banking and securities industry, the healthcare industry, and now Republicans have the gall to apologize to BP for poluting our shores and putting thousands of Americans out of work. They didn't like the president requesting BP set up an escrow fund for $20 billion, but on the other hand they want him to "step up" and be a leader. So typical. I bet the people of the Gulf region don't think this is a shakedown, especially while this clown Tony Bolony is attending Yacht races. I really hope they stick to their Jimmy Carter talking points as the economy continues to grow (three consecutive quarters) and jobs continue to be added.

And while we're on the subject of apologizing, would someone please produce a link, a clip, or text of Obama apologizing to anyone anywhere about anything?
