From ABC News' The Note:
But one thing the President did not want to talk about at the meeting was the BP disaster, a Republican source told ABC News. And that, the source said, led to a pointed exchange with GOP senator Lamar Alexander from Tennessee.Technorati tags: politics Democrats news bp green environment Obama Barack Obama oil spill cap and trade Tennessee Lamar Alexander Republican GOP
"The priority should be fixing the oil spill," Alexander told the president, according to the source. "That's what any meeting about energy should be about."
But when Alexander tried to interject the BP leak into the meeting, the source said, the president told the senator, "That's just your talking point.”
Retorted Alexander, "No, it's my opinion."
