Stopping the leak is one thing....Keeping it from reaching shore is a total different ballgame. The government is not only capable of much more but has an obligation. Oil is a strategic resource.

So if Obama 'triples' the number of workers cleaning up..that means what?....about 33 instead of the 11 shown here just a few days ago? Can we get some proper equipment too 'Daddy'?.....how bout a mop or two(instead of 1 rake,some plastic tarp,1 golf cart).....so we can clean up your mess? (eye roll)

Thee are thousands of private shrimping, fishing and oyster boats sitting idle in South Louisiana and thousands of people not working on those boats due to the BP blow out.

BP could put all of these people to work in the containment effort and keep the government out of it.
