WASHINGTON – Last week, it was oil executives who faced the wrath of lawmakers eager to find blame for the massive oil spill spreading in the Gulf of Mexico.
On Tuesday, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and other federal officials will come under questioning for what the government did — or did not do — to prevent the oil spill, and how they have responded since oil started streaming into the Gulf last month.
Salazar, who oversees the federal agency that monitors offshore drilling, will testify before two Senate committees. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson and Coast Guard Commandant Thad Allen also will testify at separate hearings, and oil company executives are back for a second round of questions.
The hearings come amid the first high-level resignation related to the oil spill and a decision by President Barack Obama to name a presidential commission to investigate the cause of the rig explosion that unleashed millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, where engineers are struggling after three weeks to stop the flow.

He is to blame. Period. No question or questions.
Yeah when I laid that one on a local lib who always balmed bush for whatever happened he nearly exploded. But fair is fair. Barry is in charge Barry gets the blame hahahaha!
BP screwed-up.
Yep and Obama gave them a green light.
Bottom Line:
Obama's Fault!

Obama’s model rig? The leaker

Zer0 won’t answer questions. It’s curious that his nannies are isolating him from the press. Is Zer0 sick?
Can he walk a straight line or touch his nose with his eyes closed?
Freedom of the press day and he can’t answer questions.
Barry0 is officially in mourning because the U.S. is now a bigger human rights violator than China thanks to Arizona. He’s too choked up to answer any questions.
We do know one thing for sure-—the buck NEVER stops with this poser.
From the 'most open administration in history.'
snicker
I wonder if Laura Bush is going to come out in support of obama on the spill.
Every time the racist Ozero and his putrid henchmen fail, it is more nails in their coffins. Keep hammering those nails, their coffins will be in the ground soon enough!
1. Pres_ _ent Obama received the MOST money and kickbacks from BP.
2. Pres_ _ent Obama personally ordered BP not be require to comply with Regulations.
3. Terrorists Abdulhakim Muhammad, Faisal Shahzad, and Nidal Hasan each spent a night in the Lincoln Bedroom.
4. Pres_ _ent Obama will willingly release his birth certificate like all real Americans.
#1: Why did you grant BP a “special exemption from a legal requirement that it produce a detailed environmental impact”?
Since you gave BP “special status” ... You Obama are responsible for this spill!!!!!
Otrina, Otrina, Otrina, Otrine!!!!
The Obama regime doesn’t answer questions. Neither did Hitler’s.
Ask repeatedly of the regime in the whitehouse:
“What do you think you did wrong, Obama?”
As with Goldman Sachs, it’s all about the money when it comes to the Won.
Democrat Senators to Interior Secretary Salazar...”How did the Bush Interior Department and it’s toadies allow this to happen?”
I seem to remember BP using this rig in its advertising last year as an example of their technology expertise and committment to safe, environmentally conscious drilling practices.
