Obama's appointees to BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling Commission are all Dem contributors

The President yesterday announced his intent to appoint five people to a BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling Commission. The commission was created by executive order.

Obama termed the commission “bi-partisan” yet it is interesting to note that according to an OpenSecrets.org individual donor search, all five of the academic appointees to the new BP oil commission are Democrat donors or Democrat candidate donors or donors to hard core leftist environmental groups or PACs or both over the past decade.

Frances G. Beinecke - $47,990 to Democrat candidates/causes/PACs from 1999-2009

Donald Boesch - $750 to Obama for America in 2008

Terry D. Garcia - $250 to John Kerry for President in 2004

Cherry A. Murray - $2,000 to Bill Foster (D) in 2008

Frances Ulmer - $500 to the DNC in 2004, $250 to the DSCC in 2004
