Oil Spill Panel: White House Blocked Federal Scientists From Releasing Worst-Case Scenario For Gulf Disaster

Obama doesn't get a pass on preventing this spill, just as Bush didn't get a pass on preventing 9/11.

The problems with MMS and the potential for a disaster were long known.  Obama came into office after the MMS report came out, and he appointed Ken Salazar, a dude very cozy with Big Oil.

Obama & Salazar didn‘t do anything to change the problems that both knew about when they came into office. When they came into office, they already knew that the agency had experienced a s3x & drug scandal. They knew they agency had such a close relationship with Big Oil that the agency was holding golf & ski junkets paid for by Big Oil in exotic places around the world. They knew the agency, put together by Reagan's Secretary of the Interior James Watt in 1982, was dysfunctional. Nothing has changed since Watt created it, saying, "I‘m going to form this agency with my buddies from Wyoming."
