The Obama administration, from Politico again: ‘BP and its employees have given more than $3.5 million to federal candidates over the past 20 years, with the largest chunk of their money going to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Donations come from a mix of employees and the company\u2019s political action committees — $2.89 million flowed to campaigns from BP-related PACs and about $638,000 came from individuals. On top of that, the oil giant has spent millions each year on lobbying — including $15.9 million last year alone — as it has tried to influence energy policy. During his time in the Senate and while running for president, Obama received a total of $77,051 from the oil giant and is the top recipient of BP PAC and individual money over the past 20 years.\u2019 Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm. And there\u2019s a website out there called Mediaite, and on their posting of this story: ‘You can see where this is going… likely straight to Rush Limbaugh\u2019s radio show!\u2019 I didn\u2019t make it the lead \u2019cause I didn\u2019t want these guys to be a hundred percent correct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
