Wowser. Wow. Wow. Lotta poli-smack being laid down and lots of hating on "that bitch". Nice. Fact: Cheney and oil co CEOs crafted current regulation, and hand picked the staff at MMS. Policies and a staff that the Obama administration was clearly too slow to clean up. Jn addition to BP, the real villain here is the "drill here drill now" crowd, which hates regulation but runs from the the consequences of deregulation. This is the same bunch that is making sure our response to the financial crisis is purely cosmetic. After running the country - and the government - into the ground under Bush, these same cynics would like to go back to work with policies that have been tried and failed. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
