Obama Vows End to ‘Cozy’ Oversight of Oil Industry

From the NYT: President Obama angrily denounced the finger-pointing among the three companies involved in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill as a “ridiculous spectacle,” and vowed on Friday to end what he called the “cozy relationship” between the government and the oil industry that has existed for a decade or more.

In sharp remarks during an appearance in the Rose Garden, Mr. Obama announced a review of environmental safeguards for oil and gas exploration to prevent future spills. He said that he “will not tolerate any more finger-pointing or irresponsibility” from the industry or the government over who made the mess or how to fix it.

I bet this comes up a lot in the campaign.

He also said in NYC last night that the Republicans were like bad drivers who had gone off the road and, while we are getting things right, want to have the keys back.

Good.

He also revived the "get a mop" line.
