Actually Jason, Obama Is Short on Drama

From reading the above and other of your responses there is nothing the President can do in this or any other matter that would satisfy you. I voted for him. I was born and raised in Louisiana and lived there until Katrina happened. My family still lives there. We have people in our family who make a living off of the rigs in the Gulf. We have friends who made a living off of seafood in the Gulf. There is nothing a President, governor or mayor can do but press the same industry that made the mess to fix it. Unfortunately, that fix will take time. Petrochemical accidents are a sad but factual part of life in an area and state that depends so heavily upon that industry for jobs and revenue. Louisiana took the risk. Louisiana pays the price.



We all are responsible for the greedy oil companies being so successful and greedy. We depend upon fossil fuels that are harder and harder to find anew. Until we conserve and wean ourselves off oil more incidents like BP's mess will occur.



Finally, the President has accepted REPEATEDLY the responsibility for the BP mess even the it was the MMS of the Bush agency that had run amok. Truth is you voted for the other guy and he would have been a lot worse than Bush.
