Obama plans to create a commission to investigate the cause of the spill, evaluate industry practices and study government oversight.
Gosh, that’ll certainly help the situation now.
The response of the Obama Administration to the leak has been underwhelming, overly protective of big business, secretive, and apparently mostly focused with putting on a happy face irregardless of the facts.
Oh no! Not a commission! They’re in for it now…
No doubt you’ve seen John Robb’s post today. He’s right about the collusion: Obama’s attempting to avoid another Katrina media spectacle instead of cleaning house. What a disappointment.
Be scared, oil evildoers. the Commission will undoubtedly report back within a few years or so saying they need to do further investigation.
