I agree.

I agree with this also. In fact approval to drill this particular site was issued under the Obama administration, though it was very early on. Still, I don't know of any major changes in drilling regulations since Obama has been in office. The only differences I heard between Bush's and Obama's offshore oil plans were ones of geography, not regulation. Regardless, I don't blame Obama for this oil spill.

I know, and there are plenty of things he does deserve blame for. I just think it is funny that apparently absolutely nothing happened before he took office, and there was no one else in government while he was in office.
