BP (NYSE:BP), Oil Industry, Battling New Drilling Restrictions

BP (NYSE:BP) is targeting its Democratic friends and connections in order to minimize the fallout from the oil leak resulting from the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig.

While the oil industry outraged by BP's accident, as it will cause them many problems and public relations issues in the future, they still backup and agree with BP concerning not having drilling limits imposed on the industry.

BP is using its Democratic connections particularly to attempt to influence the outcomes, specifically Hilary Rosen and Tony Podesta, who are working behind the scenes on BP's behalf.

Rosen was a former Democratic congressional staffer, while currently an editor-at-large for the highly controversial HuffingtonPost.com. Rosen refused to respond to the story.

Tony Podesta is the brother of former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta, who is now the head of a liberal think tank, and led the transition team for Barack Obama.

BP has also gone to bed with Democrats and radical environmentalists connected to the climate-change hoax and its legislative goals, which it has backed up in a manner which raises a lot of questions as to their motives.
