No sooner had President Barrack "talks a lot" Obama declared that he too wanted to drill a lot more offshore oil wells than the BP disaster began. The blow-out killed, murdered really eleven men and BP milked the hope they were alive as long as possible to distract from this unprecedented capitalism made ecological catastrophe.
It was a blessing really, that Obama's reactionary and stupid energy policy blew up in his face. On the other hand it seems that Haliburton did the actual last minute very dangerous and negligent things that made the oil well blow up. Was the sequence of Haliburton executed actions merely crimnally negligent, just the result of BP, Haliburton and other profiteers in the Gulf trying to gulp down their big bucks so quickly that they started to choke on them? Or did Dick Cheney tell his Buds in Haliburton to create an oil spill so that Obama would have a "New Orleans"-like political catastrophe? Given the negligence hours before the oil well blowout we have to wonder if the dangerous manuevers with the well were ordered by an evil sorcerer and real world conspirator, Dick Cheney.
Obama is obviously trying to distance himself from his own pro oil comments and now says he wants to play the regulation game, if only the Republicans will let him. I don't know if he really wants regulation or not but he sure was not proactive before the disaster in cleaning up any regulatory agency, as far as I know. He is also pretending he has nothing to do with the oil spill, much as Bush pretended that New Orleans was not a matter for federal concern until he was forced to do something by the popular uproar.
Obama should not be able to distance himself from his own words in this matter. This is the policy he endorsed and he should be scrutinized and critisized for it.
