Pete, do you seriously believe he has nowt better to do than snoop around all the Federal agencies? I will say that he was naive to not realize that the last administration would have f**ked up enegy policy beyond belief. Remember all the bruhaha when the Duke of Haliburton called in Enron, Exxon, et. al. to the White House to draft the new energy policy in secret.

Yes, as I recall it was very similar to what Obama did with the pharmecuticals.

It's his JOB to run those federal agencies! The buck stops, well, now, with someone else?

And, of course, he's had virtually nothing else on his plate since he took office.

On the other hand, by the time Bush had been in office for a similar length of time he's succeeded in starting two wars! Now, there's a record to be proud of!

"It's his fault!"

"No, it's his fault!"

This gets everyone no where.

What the hell are we to do about it now?

Aww, chit, boys, we know this is The American Way- Make a bigazz mess of something, & blame the other side...Its enshrined in our system...Witnesseth almost all our industry-Labor & management BOTH sanctimoniously point fingers at each other, while Rome burns furiously, & finally, there's nothing left...This is just an extension of that basic philosophy...But SOMEBODY needs to get their thumb outta their arse & figure out how to fix it...And quit playing "Who Shot John"...
