Senior Democrats on the panel — Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) — used a hearing on the Interior Department’s role to trace the disaster back to former Vice President Dick Cheney’s energy policy task force.
Waxman said that task force — which was assembled early in the Bush administration — set the stage for policies that pushed drilling at the expense of tough safety oversight of rigs and review of environmental risks.
“The cop on the beat was off-duty for nearly a decade and this gave rise to a dangerous culture of permissiveness,” Waxman said. “In many ways this history begins with Vice President Cheney’s secretive energy task force.”
Waxman said that under the Bush-era Interior Department, “the priority was more drilling first and safety second,” although he added that the current administration was also too hands-off before the spill.
Waxman said the Bush-era lease sale that included the tract where BP’s drilling eventually went awry should have been preceded by much stronger environmental reviews about the sale’s effects.
Markey also bashed the Bush administration.
“Seven years before this spill, the Bush administration exempted most Gulf of Mexico leaseholders from having to include blowout scenarios in their oil and gas exploration or production plans. Oil companies were also no longer required to say how long it would take to drill a relief well, and how a blowout could be contained by capping the well,” he said.
But committee Republicans noted that BP’s actual drilling of its ill-fated Macondo well was approved under the Obama administration.

Taken from the locked post.
The Rubber stamp is a good idea. Why didn't I think of that.
HERE ARE SOME IDEAS FOR STAMPS
1. BUSH DONE IT
2. DICK DONE IT (Sounds better than Cheney)
3. HALIBURTON DONE IT. . . . . . . . . .

Come on. He bears some responsibility for this mess. Trying to tie this back to something that Cheney did 8 years ago is silly.
Hey Wax-Man
If you really think Cheney broke it- THEN LET CHENEY FIX IT
and if it’s BUSH”S FAULT- LET BUSH COME BACK AND FIX IT
double dare you, pig-man
Pigs root with their noses.
And how many oil spills did Bush and Cheney have on THEIR WATCH ? ? These people are insane.
So, where were they for a year and a half?
They are that stupid.
WOW!! Talk about Mr. RATFACE...
