The third part of our response plan is the steps we're taking to ensure that a disaster like this does not happen again. A few months ago, I approved a proposal to consider new, limited offshore drilling under the assurance that it would be absolutely safe — that the proper technology would be in place and the necessary precautions would be taken.

That was obviously not the case on the Deepwater Horizon rig, and I want to know why. The American people deserve to know why.

Uh ... how many times was this company cited by the Bush administration and how many commendations did 0bama give them? And how much money does he receive from BP?

I think the American people already know why, Mr. PRESENTdent.

You were saying ...

Uh ... how many times was this company cited by the Bush administration and how many commendations did 0bama give them? And how much money does he receive from BP?

I don't know exactly how it splits between the Bush Administration and the Obama Administration -- but 760 safety violations plus more dead workers of BP (back during the Bush Administration) -- means that BP has been busy violating safety protocols for quite a long time now and racking up a slug of those fines and violations through both administrations -- plus killing their workers.

It looks like to me, that they're a criminal organization. And the other oil companies don't like it either, because BP has given the industry a "black eye" -- someone that those other companies have not contributed to (expecially when you see that Exxon has only one violation to BP's 760 violations).

I don't know how much either administration has received from BP, but I would imagine that BP sent in money to both administrations quite liberally.
