So are you saying the problem is with how they did it, not that they did it at all?
My basic criticism is that the measures people tend to complain about are emergency measures, not common practices. The system in the U.S. should be overhauled to ensure the same kind of foolishness doesn't happen again. I'm not about to disparage a government's knee-jerk reactions when the blame is instead on the overall governance of the industry.
By the time the Obama administration did something, it was already too late. It's like applying CPR when instead you're going to need a triple-bypass or, worse, a transplant.
Don't blame the person giving CPR if it isn't enough and the patient's condition worsens. Look forward to the surgery.
