(http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100622/ap_on_bi_ge/us_gulf_oil_spill) he has a personal financial stake in this matter – is it any wonder that he lifted the ban?

It is obvious that the other deep water platforms are not in trouble and probably never will be. Blanket decisions are not required and the resulting unemployment is not worth it.
