I think what we are seeing is the result of a decade or more of pro-energy policy with minimal oversight and downright corruption. While it's convenient to blame Obama, it would be like blaming Bush for the economic collapse - the result of years of economic policy, not the actions of any one administration.
You're right.
However, "let's be clear," Obama was supposed to CHANGE the "decade or more" status quo.
I don't recall that Obama said, "The Bush Administration and Dirk Kempthorn has done a wonderfiul job with DOI, so I'm appointing Ken Salazar to just keep things running the way they've been running."
BTW: With Salazar, Obama also continued the historical trend since 1989 (NO CHANGE) of appointing Sec of Interiors from states that HAVE NO COASTLINE!!
