Gee, remember the outrage over Bush meeting with Energy Company executives in secret at the White House? Remember all the cries of collusion between these companies and the White House to increase profits while milking the public? http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/breaking-anti-lobbyist-obama-administration-recruited-left-wing-lobbyists-to-sell-bogus-green-jobs/
Wait. Green jobs? A failure? Se. Sensenbrenner is looking into the coverup as well:
I guess they tried to hide the decline. |

Funny George, I don't remember you being so outraged about it then. Why the sudden change of heart? |

I think George's point is more about the double standards involved. |

Of course not. Those meetings occurred in 2001. I joined here in 2005. In fact a quick search of "oil secret" here reveals only one post on the subject. http://s10.zetaboards.com/The_New_Coffee_Room/single/?p=8289786&t=7154345
No change of heart at all. So, let me throw the question back at you. Are you outraged by this? Were you outraged when Bush did it? Edited by George K, Mar 7 2010, 11:16 AM.

As I said, the original story broke in 2001. For me to have commented about it back then would have been...impossible. And by the time the story was finished in late 2005, I had a grand total of about ... 15 posts here. So, your request for my opinion on something that was off the radar by the time I got here is problematic. Edited by George K, Mar 7 2010, 12:28 PM.

In order for there to be a double standard from George, there first needs to be a standard. I've seen no posts from George expressing his approval or disapproval over Bush's meetings, and I've seen no posts from George indicating his feelings over Obama's meetings. The only point I've seen him make is the one concerning the reaction to Bush's meetings, and Obama's. And there is a discrepancy there. |

True, he might have been just as outraged as the editors of Moveon.org At least (as you point out), I can't prove otherwise. |
