Obama BP meeting: No Interior Secretary, but lots of lawyers
washington examiner ^ | 6/16/10 | Byron York

Posted on 06/16/2010 9:15:37 AM PDT by Nachum

The White House has sent out the list of attendees for the president's meeting with BP executives. Other than the president and vice president, the people from the administration were: energy/climate advisor Carol Browner, economics adviser Larry Summers, and the domestic policy adviser Melody Barnes. Along with those three officials were three lawyers: White House counsel Robert Bauer, White House lawyer Don Verrilli, and Tom Perrelli, the number-three official in the Justice Department.

Adm. Thad Allen also attended. Missing from the list: Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, who was singled out by the president in last night's speech for not doing enough to reform the Minerals Management Service, which is a part of the Interior Department.

One interesting note from the BP side. The White House says five BP executives were in the meeting, plus one outsider: Jamie Gorelick, a lawyer with the firm Wilmer Hale. Gorelick, of course, is a former Clinton Justice Department official who walked away with $26.46 million after a four year stint at Fannie Mae from 1998 to 2002. Gorelick is now representing BP.

Good grief---how is it that THIS woman is involved in every disaster that befalls this great country of ours??????

Does the Cabinet have any responsibility in this administration, or does it just show up for occasional photo ops?

Anyone who could engineer 9/11 and then officially investigate it with no concern about truth is perfect for this situation. BP knows they are dealing with the “Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight.” They are gonna fight fire with (a bigger and smarter) fire.

Socialists, stonewallers, Global Warmers and more lawyers...

The Lib/Dem way of solving issues, sue and blame.

Obie and his crew are abject, utter failures and our coastline suffers from their incompetence.

Salazar? Napolitano? These are far-Left ideologues who hate capitalism and prefer a State-run bicycle economy where the fat, idiotic bureaucrats act as gatekeepers to private and public resources, including money, food, energy, transportation, manufacturing, mining and even real estate.

They want 100% control like Stalin.
