“There is a conflict of interest many times when industry officials are appointed to federal oversight positions. Profit motive and public safety rarely coincide. To wit, the oil disaster in the gulf. ”
Oh Really?
Is that why Bush Cited the rig 5 times for violations but Obama gave them an award for safety?
Or why Obama REFUSED help from the Dutch who have experience in containing the spills?
While BP is responsible for their part in all of this, Obama bears a great brunt of the blame for FAILURE to mitigate the damage. 3 days into the situation he could have accepted foreign help and probably contained most of the mess to a small section of the gulf around where the rig was.
Try reality for a change.
