To hear Madam Pelosi and crew, it was those horrid Republicans that pushed oil companies far out into the Gulf to drill. Those capitalist running dog pigs wanted Big Oil to have to expend huge amounts of capital instead of letting them drill on land at less expense and less danger of problems.
Now Demos don't want the Repubs to see what they've wrought when actually they really really want them to see. See?

It's a good idea until you ask which responsible person they would be sent to for reprimand and punishment. Obama? Yeah, him and Rahm Emanuel.
