Reply #71: That is the governments responsibility. What does BP have?

They are using our Coast Guard, our Navy, our fishermens boats. Yet BP calls the shots. All, as you and others have so succinctly put it, so Obama doesn't have to take responsibility, so he can't be blamed.

There are plenty of countries that would love to loan us their expertise and equipment.

The clean up effort has been a major clusterfuck and it will cost Obama. You are looking at this the wrong way.

Would you rather have him fall flat on his face trying to blame BP, or would you like to give him the power he has to lead this.
