While concluding that last spring's Gulf oil disaster was "not Obama's Katrina," a commission led by former Florida Gov. Bob Graham nevertheless heaped blame on federal regulators, BP Petroleum and the oil industry in general.
In what likely will become fodder for upcoming lawsuits, a stinging federal report scheduled for release next week shows that shortcuts, mistakes, questionable technology and overall poor management led to the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
Buttressing Floridians' complaints about Washington's response to the giant BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, a federal commission blasted the Obama administration for initially underestimating the scope of the disaster, and then overreacting politically.
