Gulf of Mexico/BP Oil Spill

It's all a pretty big shit fest. I think blaming Obama is kinda stupid, though. The fact of the matter is, there should have been things in place (like a relief well) to prevent this from happening before it happened. Also, we should be a lot better prepared to handle this sort of situation when it DOES happen. A lot of people claim that this is an unusual thing for us to have to deal with and we don't really have a lot of technology to fix this problem a mile under water. My question is, if that is the case, what business do we have drilling a mile under water? This is all just extreme lack of foresight or caring.
