Inasmuch as the industry was deregulated and the MMS was turned into a corrupt mess under his watch, yes.
Inasmuch as Obama campaigned on correcting the mess that Bush put us in, then did absolutely nothing at all to fix the MMS and regulate companies like BP, it's his fault too.
But the real issue is that the most dangerous oil company in the world, with more Gulf safety citations than every other company combined, did its thing unchecked, and destroyed my home's coast.
BTW, before yall start with the inevitable flaming, please notice I effectively spread blame on two different administrations (and I could share some of it with Clinton, Daddy Bush and even Ronnie) and the corporation involved as well. I'm not playing partisan games. The only people fooling themselves are those who think the incompetent shills with an R next to their names are better than the incompetent shills with a D next to their name, or vice versa.

Government SHOULD NOT be regulating anything. Government regulation forces higher prices in the regulated industry. Instead of regulating the industry, the government should be guaranteeing the public that companies in the industry that do bad things will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If the punishment is severe enough, regulation becomes unnecessary as the companies will be self regulating.Originally posted by PaulDel:

Raptor, you got it right, the real cozy realtionship between MMS and the oil industry that occurred during W's watch. BUT, Obama did nothing to "change" it as promised. You are also right that everyone in the chain since Ronnie had something to do with it. It started with RR's pronouncement that "government is the problem" and that spread all the way to government shouldn't be regulating anything, safety or otherwise.
And I'm totally shocked that your totally shocked this thread is still here.Originally posted by Lamareagle2:
