Its just as much this administrations failings as any. All the blame cannot be laid as the feet of any one administration. They have all taken money from the large oil interests. It is the oilfield culture that is the main problem. The people making the decision to push their subordinates into shortcuts are immune to repercussion of those actions. MMS agents are more interested in coffee and a news paper than what is happening on the rig. Just paperwork! No real inspection. And many cases no real world experience to know if something is not as it should be.

I'll get off my soap box now.
