“After eight years of the Bush Administration’s cozy relationship with Big Oil, President Obama is working to rid regulatory agencies of Bush appointees burrowed deep into the bureacracy. The performance of these appointees indicates they are incompetent or placing the interests of the oil industry over the interests of their nation. The recent Inspector General report is a reminder of this legacy and the need to clean house.”
