What I don’t like from the president’s administration is this sort of ‘I’ll put my boot heel on the throat of BP.’ I think that sounds really un-American in his criticism of business. …. I think it’s part of this sort of blame game society in the sense that it’s always got to be someone’s fault instead of the fact that sometimes accidents happen.
— Rand Paul (TB-KY), criticizing President Obama’s criticism of oil giant BP, because in Paul’s world, it’s not lax regulation, poor oversight and purposeful negligence that caused the worst oil spill ever, it’s accidents.
