The EPA mandates 15 parts per million of oil in water output... A Whale emits 25 parts per million... this is all about 10 parts per million of oil... instead... we get 100% of what is escaping right now and it is staying in the Gulf. The only reason that they are delaying this all is because obama wants it that way. They delay and block at EVERY opportunity... not just in this case.
Ask yourself this... if Bush were President right now, would the government be an impediment to this cleanup or a partner in this endeavor... and why?

No. GWB would have been on the phone with the Saudis and other countries experienced in oil cleanups, from Day One. He'd have waived the Jones Act and any other horse-manure laws and regulations that impede cleanup efforts.
