Maher slams Obama on offshore oil drilling

On Real Time this Friday, Bill Maher called out President Obama for his recent and ludicrious support for offshore oil drilling. Maher quoted the president a few weeks ago when Obama said:

It turns out that oil rigs today generally don't cause oil spills. They are technologically very advanced.

Maher then pointed out if that were a quote attributed to George W. Bush, his audience would be laughing. He continued by saying that although he understands that in politics you have to compromise at times, this however was going way too far. An editorial in yesterday's New York Times criticized the Obama Administration for its initial handling of the disaster.
