No I'm saying that 30 years experience or no experience, neither one seems to have a clue on how to deal with the crisis.

I don’t expect BO to have a clue so thats not disappointing. He’s never had a clue so the expectation is low.
I would wager BP could easily have handled this spill if it were on land or in shallow water. Environmentalists have forced drilling deep offshore which is making this much more difficult.
I don’t really blame BP for having trouble fixing it, its a tough problem. I blame them for taking shortcuts leading to the disaster and not being prepared.
BP is doing the best thing, drilling the relief wells. Hopefully they won’t cut corners this time. lol. In the meantime, they’re trying to capture as much oil as possible. Could have they done better. Most likely, but 0 is orders of magnitude more incompetent.
I work at a large BP research site many miles from the Golf.
Please reaccess your views on BP. Their talent pool is wide and deep.
There are engineers from other company’s from around the globe working here.
Having worked at the U of C and Argonne National Labs they all have a similar ‘feel’.
From my low level view it appears that BP plays nice with others, example: Lacking space for a command center they moved in with Shell.
At a recent update meeting the presenter was so stressed I thought she might collapse. The people here care.
