Rahm: ‘In Case You Forgot What Republican Governance Was Like, Joe Barton Reminded You’ Appearing on This Week, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel linked the Republican Party as a whole to Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX), who apologized to BP for the treatment it has received from the Obama administration: “Do you think that BP is the aggrieved party here? Do you think that Wall Street should be left alone and not have any reforms? Elections are about choices. Those are what is fundamental. There is a difference in our philosophies. And not only in our philosophies, how we make sure that American strengthens its economy. Joe Barton and the Republican — major voices in the Republican Party just told you their view. And in case you forgot what Republican governance was like, Joe Barton reminded you.”
