The ties that bind. Remember Rahm Emanuel's rent-free D.C. apartment? The owner: A BP adviser
LA Times ^ | June 7, 2010 | Andrew Malcolm

In case you were tempted to buy the faux Washington outrage at BP and its gulf oil spill in recent days, here's a story that reveals a little-known corporate political connection and the quiet way the inner political circles intersect, protect and care for one another in the nation's capital. And Chicago. We already knew that BP and its folks were significant contributors to the record $750-million war chest of Barack Obama's 2007-08 campaign. Now, we learn the details of a connection of Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago mayoral wannabe, current Obama chief of staff, ex-representative, ex-Clinton money man and ex-Windy City political machine go-fer. Shortly after Obama's happy inaugural, eyebrows rose slightly upon word that, as a House member, Emanuel had lived the last five years rent-free in a D.C. apartment of Democratic colleague Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut and her husband, Stanley Greenberg.

It SEEMS these very people accuse people on here discussing the facts; of being trolls and question how long they have been posting to FR...rather than discuss BP being in bed, having sex and not wearing a condemn with the Obama administration.

I seem to remember reading a statement by DiLauro implying that Emanuel was practically sleeping in a dresser drawer in her apartment, not really "renting."

Then I came across this, regarding her illegal basement apartment.

Rahm did NOT want to be Chief of Staff...he insisted he was NOT going to take that job, he wanted to be SPEAKER, and publicly said so and said he was NOT going to be CoS to Obama!! Obama OFFERED HIM SOMETHING of GREAT VALUE or THREAT to take the job!! WHAT WAS IT???? hmmmmm

This conservative will never defend BP
they price fixed propane in 2004 and screwed home heating users bigtime
and the $320 million penalty they paid went to the US govt, not the users

Beautifully stated!

This is the guy who said he wants his life back...

What about the 11 men you killed?

What about the ways of life you have destroyed?

What about the animals you have killed?

What about the Gulf of Mexico that you have fouled beyond the point of descritpion?

Go to Hell, Tony Hayward, you lying son of a bitch.

I have no proof, but my gut feeling about the Deepwater Hozizon affair is that it was sabotage, perpetrated by some BP-insiders who were friendly to Obama and to the climate change/anti-capitalist agenda.

That’s not so uncommon. I hear Rush report things that are nowhere to be found online [except perhaps his site]. Not saying they are wrong, but he has sources from way back.
