Halliburton did not construct the rig. Transocean owned and operated the rig and leased it to BP. Halliburton was a contractor who poured some of the concrete. The government had no say in whether it was a No Bid contract.

The Bush admin fined BP in 2007 for safety issues associated with their deep water rigs, the Obama admin gave BP safety awards in 2009. BP donated the most money to Obama over a 20 year period and the Obama admin gave BP exemptions from doing impact studies. Once the spill occurred, the Obama admin relied on BP for info about the severity of the spill and did not immediately deploy the appropriate burn strategy resulting in a much larger disaster. Days after the spill, the Obama admin approved two BP projects with the same exemption.

This info needs to get out there. The hard core Left will have no choice but to abandon Obama.
