Palin, right this one time
Excerpt:
In an interview a few weeks ago with Greta Van
Susteren, I noted that based on my experience working with
oil execs as an oil regulator and then as a Governor,
you must verify what the oil companies claim -- because their
perception of circumstances and situations dealing
with public resources and public trust is not necessarily shared
by those who own America's public resources and
trust. I was about run out of town in Alaska for what critics
decried at the time as my "playing hardball with
Big Oil," and those same adversaries (both shortsighted Repubs
and Dems) continue to this day to try to discredit
my administration's efforts in holding Big Oil accountable to
operate ethically and responsibly.
Mr. President: with all due respect, you have
to get involved, sir. The priorities and timeline of an oil company
are not the same as the public's. You cannot
outsource the cleanup and the responsibility and the trust to BP
and expect that the legitimate interests of
Americans adversely affected by this spill will somehow be met...
