The donations were from individual employees and NOT FROM BP - I expect this to be cited as a HOAX by the mods immediately.
Thanks and lets try and keep things FACTUAL !

Obama received $77,000 from BP during the 2008 election cycle - the largest single contribution EVER given by BP to ANY candidate!!! Last time I checked, BP was a FOREIGN company and foreign companies are forbidden from contributing to candidates. So, what gives!?

The only thing I see with that though is use that in the political arena come next election when, say, Pepsi employees form a group/PAC etc and they donate boatloads to a canidate.

$77,000 isn't measly-in my opinion,
Okay, Pepsi doesn't form a PAC, it's employees dontate the money. Don't you think that the common folk are still going to associate that with Pepsi?
I think what we are missing here is who the employees are and what positions they hold with BP. It if is the cleaning people from the night shift great. If it is all company execs then I think they were most likely directed or instructed to do so. We'll see.
I think you're smart enough to know the answers to those questions.
