Partial Owner Of Deepwater Horizon Declines To Testify, Receives 'Executive Of The Year' Award Instead

..............

Two of the four oil companies on the hook for the Gulf cleanup tab have rejected a Senate request to come testify about their efforts to make residents and businesses whole. The hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.

The CEOs of Anadarko Petroleum and MOEX Offshore have cited scheduling conflicts. Anadarko CEO James T. Hackett, however, does have time this week to be in Houston to accept Oil and Gas Investor's Executive of the Year award, handed out Tuesday

***"Last year this leading Houston-based company generated a 68 percent return to shareholders, while cutting costs and spending during the downturn," reads the announcement of Hackett's award.

This a-holes need to be treated as the criminals they are. Not doing so only encourages them to think they are above the law and can shield themselves with the corporate cloak of invincibility.

7. Is it clear enough yet?

There's a definite hand on the tiller, running this country. Hint: It has nothing to do with "elections" or "elected officials."
