More Unpopular than BP?

June 12, 2010

Guess who is still more unpopular than BP?

Felix Salmon posted this chart displaying just how much BP’s brand has tanked since the start of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in April. But, I find the real shocker in Salmon’s chart is not BP’s drop. The real kicker is that the company responsible for the nation’s largest environmental disaster, you know, the one where up to 84 million gallons of oil is resting comfortably in the Gulf of Mexico, is still more popular than Goldman Sachs.

With all the discussion about BP and this administration’s inability to properly deal with the problem, it appears people have not forgotten about Goldman Sachs and their irresponsible behavior either:

While I agree, there was some serious mishandling on Wall Street, I have to wonder: Is the rush for financial reform because of the American people’s public outcry? Or is the Left keeping the public outraged in an effort to quickly pass financial reform?
