I'm not sure what the story is here, but somehow Democrats feel they have the right to look into the amount of money BP (NYSE:BP) spends on advertising.
For the three months since the Gulf oil spill, which started on April 20, BP spent over $93 million on advertising, three times what they did the year before.
And the point is what?
The idea of wasting time on how much BP is spending on their advertising is ridiculous and irresponsible, when we face real issues in this country.
I'm not sure what they're even revealing this information to the public for, and what it has to do with anything.
BP has already spent billions on claims and the cleanup, including the money put into the compensation fund. Do lawmakers think because BP is responsible for these areas they have a right to interfere with other operational aspects of the company? They don't.
According to the House Energy and Commerce Committee, BP said they're spending was "to keep Gulf Coast residents informed of issues relating to the oil spill and recovery and to ensure transparency during the recovery process."
From the advertisements I've seen from BP, that's an accurate statement. So again, what in the world are the Democrats making a big deal about this for? They have absolutely no say in what BP spends on advertising, and thankfully they'll be losing big in the upcoming elections as they've attempted to take over the United States and its private sector in a few short years.
