    Default President has been largest beneficiary of BP money in last 20 years

    "Obama received $112,374 from BP and its employees during the 2012 cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Obama has been the largest beneficiary of BP money in the last 20 years.

    The suspension does not apply to current BP contracts with the federal government, including the recent $1.37 billion in contracts awarded to BP affiliates in September by the Department of Defense."

    A spokesman for the Center for Responsive Politics confirmed Monday that "the $71,051 that Obama received during the 2008 election cycle was entirely from BP employees." The CRP spokesman also stated that "Obama did not accept contributions from political action committees, so none of this money is from BP's PAC. And corporations themselves are prohibited from donating directly to candidates from their corporate treasuries."

    Sarah Palin. Debunked.

    Funny Obama would suspend contracts to a company who bankrolled him.

    Research is hard.
