I don't know.... this whole thing seems like a joke, a president with any concern for "the environment", like obama boast he does; would surely take any help he could get if he was really for the best interest of the U.S. and the world.....They got to learn when to put the 'rules' aside and use some common sense. If they had a president which had enough balls to do this, and say screw the books, lets do what we need to do to fix this problem, whether he/she be Republican, Democrat, Independent, or another minor party, then something may be getting done to help resolve the problem. But no, as of now, the problem is only intensifying and anything that is being done to help the problem, president obama is canceling for one petty reason or another.......It honestly seems like he is trying to maximize the destruction of this disaster as much as he can. One of the governors from the southern states was creating sand traps to contain the oil, however, obama told him to cease, because it was too close inland. Then you have that incident with the U.S. Coast Guard and the barges that were being sent to the scene -- that were capable of vacuuming the oil, and draining the water with a 98% efficiency rate -- although, obama made the Coast Guard halt them to "check and make sure they had all the necessary safety equiptment." Really? Really? What is more important....
