Bill White, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Texas, posted the following on Facebook about his opponent in the upcoming election and current Texas Governor, Rick Perry:
Perry today said that British Petroleum "historically had a very good safety record from my perspective." Asked about the oil spill, he said, "there are going to be things that occur that are acts of God that cannot be prevented." He also said, "I don't think that a big wave came along at a very inopportune time . . . but I don't know that." See below the report by an panel headed by James Baker on safety at BP, after the explosion which killed 15. A big wave? An act of God?
