re: #951 Walter L. Newton

Really… last 10 years? Do you know this particular oil rig was cited more times during the Bush administration than the Obama administration, since the current administration never cited it and was actually going to give it an award.

I think that the Obama administration is engaged in a process of gradually increasing regulation of business, opposed every step of the way by the Republicans and to a lesser extent by centrist Democrats. It would be better if the process was more rapid, but that’s politics.

It doesn’t matter whether the individuals neglecting to regulate business are Democrats or Republicans. The fact is that deregulating business allows catastrophes like this to happen.
