If Bush would have put the CEO of BP on his staff as his energy policy "czar" (I guess we've quietly disposed of that term since it hits a little too close to their agenda), the howling from left would have been legendary.
It wasn't the CEO of BP, but here are the Oil Company and Automobile people in W's administration, since you apparently forgot.
Cheney, CEO of Halliburton
National Security Adviser: Condoleezza Rice, of Chevron
Secretary of Interior: Gale Norton, lawyer for oil corporations
Secretary of Commerce: Donald Evans, CEO of Tom Brown Inc, large independent energy company; board member of Sharp Drilling, an oil industry contractor; and Non-Executive Chairman of TXU Energy.
Secretary of Energy: Spencer Abraham, lobbyist for automobile industry
White House Chief of Staff: Andrew Card, CEO of the American Automobile Manufacturers Association
Economic Adviser: Lawrence Lindsey, consultant to Enron (energy)
Oh, and btw, W had 36 'czar' position filled by 46 different people in his 8 years.
