Where's the technology for this size mess?
We don't have anything that's going to make a difference here. That's why the well should have never been placed in deep water. Show me when and where we've had an oil disaster of this magnitude and the clean up technology that was used sucessfully... it doesn't exist... and to make matters worse, the oil is mostly on the seafloor... killing the seafloor is far more dangerous than destroying wetlands and habitats.

Take over the clean up and do what? Put out more booms? More oils soaking pads? And what about the death on the seafloor? Who do you call when there's a big oil spill? Who has the best and latest technologies? Oil companies! And they are distancing themselves because they don't know what to do either! Yet you somehow think Obama can come up with a fix. Really?
