It's been 56 days since the explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon, and oil is still leaking into the Gulf of Mexico.
Today, we want to know whether you think the US government or BP [BP 30.67 --- UNCH (0) ] is more to blame for not stopping the spill thus far. Share your opinion:

Blame? lots to go around but there is nothing we can do to keep the govt shutting us down. Got to keep his ‘buds’ happy ya know.
I can tell you, the ones of us who live on the Gulf Coast are sick, sick as can be with no hopes being available to us, except surrender to the government.
lol bp for the spill..Obama for letting it reach land
This is a BOGUS poll! I couldn’t blame Bush. /s
IT’S THE CLEANUP STUPID
Right with the bp, but I really doubt there has been a president that could have kept it from reaching land.

Who’s to Blame for Not Stopping Oil Spill? (Freep this poll)
“
I’m amazed it’s almost 2 to 1, in favor of blaming the guvmint.
In an industry with guvmint regulation (Mineral Management Service)
that did inspection and gave their blessing to the Deepwater Horizon
as well as awards...
the guvmint has to bear a fair chunk of responsibility.
This episode goes along with the old saying of “who shall guard
the guardians?”.
BP was the “but for” actor in this tragedy...but Obama and Co. almost
appear to hoped to amplify the disaster by sitting back.
And letting it envelope states that generally have Republican/conservative
sensibilities, e.g., TX, LA, MS, Alabama and to an extent, FL.
Put plenty of folks out of job with a moratorium and get them on
the guvmint dole.
For Obama and Co., what’s not to like about this situation?
Having to give any NBC entity a “hit” goes against my grain.
he could have waved restrictions and let states get all the help they could find..lol some places they are just getting around to assessments...
and if Katrina was Bush’s fault for telling people to get out of harms way then its double for obama on shore damage since he is in charge of delays.
I got the same thing...hmmmmmmmm. They must not be recording votes coming from people on the Obama enemy list? LOL!
How would the states pay for it, or who would the states charge?
I never considered Katrina to be Bush’s fault.
