It really must be nice to a federal government employee. First, you had SEC employees searching the Internet for porn while they were supposed to be watching out for the likes of Bernie Madoff and other banking criminals.
Now comes word that federal employees of the Mineral Management Service, the employees that oversee offshore drilling also had some ethical problems on the job.
From Yahoo News: "Staff members at an agency that oversees offshore drilling accepted tickets to sports events, lunches and other gifts from oil and gas companies and used government computers to view pornography, according to an Interior Department report alleging a culture of cronyism between regulators and the industry. In at least one case, an inspector for the Minerals Management Service admitted using crystal methamphetamine and said he might have been under the influence of the drug the next day at work, according to the report by the acting inspector general of the Interior Department."

I am pretty sure that if you look at other federal agencies, you will find the same kind of behavior.
If Obama does something to clean up these agencies, more power to him. If not, just more crap from the Obama administration. This does not excuse other presidents, they probably did not know but they should have known. But now Obama knows and he and his administration need to do something about these lazy ass and corrupt employees.
