I definitely agree with you that the government should have played a much greater role in stopping the BP oil spill. The thing I cannot believe is the amount of time they let millions of gallons of oil pour into our gulf. If BP had the ability and man-power to stop the spill right away then I would have understood the government letting BP have most of the control over it. But the spill went on for almost this entire summer. If the government had been paying closer attention they would have known that BP could not keep the oil from reaching our shores with the resources they had and would have sent more help much sooner.
There are millions of brilliant engineers and scientists in the United States. If the government had taken the initiative to hire and gather them together to figure out how to plug the leak, I truly believe this disaster could have been stopped much sooner.
