Alex,

I’d be inclined to agree with you but it turns out that BP, despite its British origins, has been very well linked in with American politicians and regulators. The headlines are all trumpeting its connections with Obama and the Democrats (i.e. Rahm Emanuel’s apartment) but the Minerals Management Service under Bush was hardly a model of effective regulation either. Even today, the government is helping to shield BP even as Obama talks about “kicking ass.” See this NYTimes article today: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06.....wanted=all

So, no, I don’t think that it is true that BP just didn’t “pay off” regulators like the others did. I think they were playing with the big boys all along.
