Don't see how this a Dem or a Rep thing.

This certainly isn't a D vs. R thing. The improper relationships between the regulatory arm of MMS and the oil companies have been going on for quite some time, regardless of who occupies the WH.
I also don't think it's an "eco-freak" thing to not want peoples livelihoods drastically damaged or completely destroyed (fishing industry in the Gulf) or to see birds/fish etc. covered in oil and dying.
As with the improper criticism of the Bush Admin on Katrina, most of the criticism of Obama on Deepwater is without legs.
