The former clause in the header is obvious, but Obamiacs keep trying to deny the latter.
Nonetheless, it's true, even as The One pushes for tougher fuel economy, including first-ever standards for semis, which deserves a true kudo. But, at the same time, Der Neolibbenfuehrer, with such fuel standards, we won't need to rush after all that deep-sea oil!)
As for BP? You knew it was lying when it claimed its siphon hose was recovering as much oil as it first claimed, and still somewhat claims, was the total leak flow. The lies have gone downhill from there, as has Team Obama's attempt to hold BP in particular, or offshore drilling in general, to account. (Include Interior Secretary Ken Salazar at the top of Team Obama's liars.)
Meanwhile, the human life toll, the wildlife toll, the ecosystem toll, the economy toll? As Bob Herbert notes, BP writes it off on its ledgers — again, as Team Obama continues to cover for it, and for offshore drilling in general.
And, sadly, as Joe Conason notes, this all undermines the myth of the all-powerful "Left." Sure, a few of the Gang Green enviro groups are finally getting stirred up, but, what took so long?
