How much blame does Obama deserve for the oil spill?

I'm going to go on record of saying at least a bit. He doesn't deserve blame for it spilling in the first place however it then becomes about how you handle it. I actually don't believe he is handling it that poorly. He has appointed a guy in charge of the operation who has been dealing with these types of situations for the last four decades and at least according to him he had a meeting about it at the white house on day one.

However even he admits that the relationship between BP and his administration was his fault along with the lax mood towards critical violations. So he does in fact get some of the blame.

Of course he didn't cause the spill, no rational person believes Obama caused it. It has been his handling of the issue which has exacerbated it however.

Really, you mean such as the Obama administration's stonewalling of Governor Jindal?

Yeah he does deserve some because he went the drill baby drill route and let bp drill he should have went green so it's both his and bp fault.

I don't see how Obama would have anything to do with this.TAMKFan
