Reply #52: This belongs to Obama as well as

[obxhead]

his predecessors Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush as well.

Yes BP took a shortcut and caused the blowout by doing so. What enabled them to do this though? The deregulation and lack of inspections by OUR government.

Obama passed drill, baby drill with a massive expansion of drilling areas in our waters. What did he do to prevent a disaster like this before hand? NOTHING. Not a single fucking thing. He didn't clean the MMS of the Bush cronies before doing so. He didn't even suggest in a single one of his fine speeches that we should better regulate the industry.

So while Obama didn't directly cause every reason this well failed is true, he sure as hell didn't do a single fucking thing to prevent it either. He's not even started to lead any kind of an effort to correct what is painfully obvious under regulation. Therefore he's just another spoke on the wheel that created this entire situation and is just as complicit.
