Does the federal government have the superior knowledge, and resources to fix the oil spill that BP can't?

Aside from inspections and regulations enforcement the Fed was responsible for any shoreline protection. The fed is directly responsible for the absolute failure on both of their lawfully designated responsibilities. Obama, as he acknowledged is directly responsible for this failure, however, he has done nothing but photo ops and pointing fingers every since that acknowledgment.

The only extent to which the gov is responsible is that they didn't check close enough to make sure these idiots had all required precautions in place. If what I'vee read is correct a $500,000 pieces of Equipment could have avoided this entire catastrophe. Penny wise and pound foolish.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
