What do you do when something goes wrong? Blame George Bush!

I’m not an expert on oil spills, but from what I’ve been reading about the Gulf oil spill, it looks like BP is 100% responsible for the damage. I don’t think many reasonable people would disagree. Of course, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is far from reasonable:

“Many of the people appointed in the Bush administration are still burrowed in the agencies that are supposed to oversee the [oil] industry,” Pelosi said when asked if Democrats could have prevented or mitigated the crisis by keeping a closer watch on the industry.

Added the Speaker, “the cozy relationships between the Bush administration’s agency leadership and the industry is clear…I’ve heard no complaints from my members about the way the president has handled it,” Pelosi stated.

So, to summarize, even though Democrats have controlled Congress for nearly four years, Barack Obama has been President for 18 months, and many (or most) of George Bush’s appointees are long gone, he still shares responsibility for what is happening in the Gulf. I have a feeling that a housekeeper in the White House could drop a plate, and somehow, whey would find a way to blame George W. Bush.
