Oil Leak in the Gulf of Mexico. We can put a man on the moon, but we cannot put a plug in a leaky pipe. Crude analysis (sorry about that)! Apparently BP are doing their best to resolve the problem, but it's not good enough for the President.
Just a thought. Why is it that the biggest oil using country in the world, who want and need oil 'at any price', allow the oil companies to drill deeper than ever before, but (big BUT) when something goes wrong, and the (environmental) price for their oil usage gets too high, they get all filled with righteous anger and indignation? I can't help but wonder if there would have been the same Presidential intervention if the oil company was 'Exxon' or another of the US oil giants?
The USA needs the Gulf of Mexico oil, otherwise it becomes more and more reliant on the Middle Eastern Arab States oil countries, and they would not want that. So, the result? The USA will make a lot of noise over the mistake of a 'foreign' oil company, which is the politically easy thing to do, and when the dust settles, go back to drilling deeper than ever before! And all will be well again, because the USA will have their oil supply back to feed an insatiable appetite. Reducing the need for oil doesn't seem to be an option!
