The first few weeks the only ones that realized the extent of the damage and had the technology to see it was BP... and they were hiding all the evidence.
The Coast Guard Admiral in charge is the exact same guy that Bush put in charge of Katrina.
What you Obama haters can't seem to grasp is the U.S. does not have the technology or capability to deal with this. It never has. Blame every administration that ever allowed drilling to take place because they are all equally at fault if this is your logic.
It does not matter if Ronald Reagan were still alive and in scuba gear. It would change Nothing.
As for Bush being on it in 24 hours, please. That guy was in a coma his entire presidency. Cheney woke him up a couple times to mumble "War on Terror" and then let him go back to bed.
Neither of them is responsible for the spill. They are both responsible for the aftermath of the spill. Frankly they both need to man up a hell of a lot earlier to put a full court press on this mess. Both were acting like whiny little **** ants.
Tony Hayward is the CEO of BP, but judging by some of the comments I've heard, my impression is that there are some Americans who blame President Obama more than they blame Tony Hayward.
OP, this is a stupid poll. Everyone knows Obama is the President of the U.S.A., and not some fly by night oil company. jeez man.
Did it ever occur to you that the Americans who blame the prez are using this forum? and the people you call Americans are the far right wing goofies? Looking for any flaw in this administration, and willing to place blame for anything bad that happens upon it.
If anyone watches the news, they know who or what company screwed up big time. MMS has been a screwed up Government agency for years and years, this just didn't start happening when Obama was elected.
Oil companies are experts at lying and deceiving, we've learned that now.
If you claim Obama is, please list WHY. I'd love to see the logic behind that one.
I went with "Not sure". I like the idea of a guy who puts in the effort to cast a vote, yet votes "Not sure". I went one better, taking the time to write a post about it.

What's funny is that most of them won't vote in the poll or comment on this. If they can't blame something on Obama, they'd rather not participate at all. They're loath to blame anyone but Obama for anything bad that happens.
Does anybody think Tony Hayward is being manipulated into appearing as such a SOB as he is? One could say the same for Obama. Them going on golfing trips, yachting, making flippant insensitive remarks and doing nothing but stall any attempts to prevent as much environmental damage as possible or to end the spill. Nobody is as stupid and uncaring as these two are appearing to be. Start following the money trail. They want us to stop producing oil and to run the prices up and they'll bleed us white( tax payers, consumers) financially in the short term and screw us financially. Bush couldn't have pulled this off any better, Obama is the perfect patsy to try to get us to fall for this. But his popularity is tanking far faster than anybody had thought it would and people can't take much more of this government incompetence run amok. This is going to come back to bite a lot of people, people who think they are beyond justice.
And WTH is the Green Party?
BP's problem but in a disaster in our federal land that is Obama's responsibility.
They both failed us.
Obamas is going to get all of the blame because he has on several occasions turned away help that was offered that would have been a different result had he not make such stupid decisions.
This is in our federal waters, Obamas responsibility.
Hope we do not have another disaster and Obama and his followers wait 60 days to get anything started.
Just to make clear, the Deepwater Horizon IS NOT in our FEDERAL waters. It's in our Exclusive Economic Zone, which every country has, and is allowed to explore and license under rights to others, but those waters are INTERNATIONAL WATERS. Not U.S. water.
And the administration has NOT turned away help that was offered, that was either free, in kind or of the sort they need. That is a huge and grossly incorrect statement taken from FL Sen. LeMieux. Not all the help was free, not all the help was what the US/BP needs(ed). There have been 18 countries that have offered to either sell us supplies, or contract us people and ships to use to help clean up...at an escalated price. Some have also offered to help clean up the oil, if they can keep what they p/up. The administration has accepted help from Mexico, Norway, Canada, and Qatar.

how obama "god" that he is, could have anything to do with this spill is only based on partisan wishful thinking.
