For those of you who want to make political hay from this, you can place the blame on both parties equally, they both are on the take from whoever has the bucks. And you know it so stop with the bullshit
"His administration," obviously, referring to Bush's. Also, Bush's father got his start in the oil industry before entering politics.
Here's a good, tho incomplete, list of connections between Bush's administration and Enron, specifically. It would be unfair, however, to place all of the blame on him; the government has been failing to protect the American people from the oil industry for decades. The Republicans were simply more motivated by private gains and the Democrats were just spineless.
@Melcalrrt Actually, it would be more reasonable to blame Bush than Obama because his administration had very clear ties to the oil industry. Many of his staff went on to be appointed to boards positions of oil companies due to their connections. Democrats generally get elected by people with environmental interests and they, like all politicians, work to be reelected.
It's not about Obama, it's simply that 1) he's not in bed with oil and 2) he actually took action.
I don't understand why they can't weld a sleeve on the pipe that is leaking oil with an open valve on it and then just turn off the valve...it is too late to lay blame everywhere, it just needs stopped!
@ksjazzguitar not true ,the government should protect its people from a flood of oil from bp that threatens well being of costal people and the little fish!!!!!
