We do not currently have an entire agency to deal with solving this problem given the depth and water pressure. Your analogy is apt in once sense -- dealing with anything at that depth can sometimes be as hard as launching men into space (or at the very least can certainly be on a similar level).
I am not going to blame Obama for not snapping his fingers and having magic dust settle to solve a very intractable problem. You can blame him for allowing the drilling in the first place (to the extent that he could have blocked it), but it is silly to the extreme to blame him for not solving this problem at the snape of his fingers.
