Bush then went on to completely remove government oversight via MMS. Obama then sent Salazar to fix that disaster, and Salazar did nothing.

The far right is trying to blame this disaster on Clinton and Obama, and completely ignore what happened during the eight Bush years in the middle. That's beyond absurd.

What do you think of that Rolling Stone article?

I thought it was a bit slanted but very good. I'll readily admit that Bush was pro-oil but the left is trying to ignore DWRRA1995 and that this rig was signed off by an Obama directed MMS.
