Wasn't it the Obama administration that give that particular rig a safety award just last year?
Deep water drilling in itself is a risky process but one that has been pretty much mandated by the left and environmental wackos.
A rig closer to the coast would have had the safety valve above water level instead of a mile down.
If they'd let us drill in places like Alaska we won't have these problems in the first place.

The fact is that BP had submitted a plan that they could handle a spill of a certain size to get the permit to drill.

Wonder if anyone actually read it? Nah.
