Spoken like a true Republican. Please, please Wall Street we didn't elect all these Democrats. Don't leave us. Everyone will be fine. I mean really now, when are the citizens simply going to shut up and leave BP alone.

It is called PANDERING to Big Oil.  For absolutely no reason at all. 

They are our leases, NOT, theirs. 

The loop above was two days ago, trying to convenice the public they actually need the oil that is offshore.  But, as soon as Barton had to face BP execs he collapsed into a pleading of forgiveness to Wall Street. 

That was absolutely amazing. 

Republicans don't have backbones, they sit on wallets that hold them upright. 

Barton is at least honest.  Only a few days ago, the third term Republican Mayor of New York City was pandering to BP as well.  They don't care about the abuse the American taxpayer has to take for including Wall Street as a partner to the USA economy, just so it doesn't effect their dividends. 

It is a real eye-opener to realize how corrupt Republicans SINCERELY are.

The Republicans that criticized Barton only did so for 'political' reasons.  Apologizing to BP is political harry carry.  They don't want to appear WEAK on pursuing BP and being appalled at the lack of safety or even the concern for safety in this industry.

Perhaps Barton should send an apology to the families of the eleven dead employees that BP didn't care about either.  Just the price employees have to pay for pumping oil 42 miles offshore of Louisiana.

HUMAN RESOURCES is the proper title for citizens working as employees to Wall Street.  Human, oil, gas it is all the same thing, right?  Whatever happened to PERSONNEL and the BENEFITS that supported employees?  Tell me that?

Under pressure from Republican leaders who threatened to remove him from a ranking committee position, Rep. Joe Barton (R-Tex.) late Thursday retracted his apology to BP CEO Tony Hayward for the way his company has been treated by the U.S. government -- a comment that had drawn heavy criticism from both parties.
