AP reports that a rule change put in place by the Bush Interior Department in April 2008 exempted BP from filing a plan on how it would handle a blowout scenario such as the one flooding the Gulf of Mexico with oil today.
Halliburton cemented the well that days later blew up and because of the lack of any effective regulatory policy from the GOP, BP was not required to be prepared for it. Again, if this is Obama Katrina it's only because he should have known the GOP and their big oil cronies would sell out the whole region to make an extra buck.
