President Obama said Friday that responsibility for the cleanup rests with BP, the owner of the lease, but that the government would assist communities affected.

Another reason I don't like Obama, stop pointing fingers and get it fixed. The US government makes billions of dollars on oil per year and they have problems spending a fraction of that to fixing "the oil company's" problems.
6. U.S. crude oil production in March 2010: 5,532,000 b/d (of which 688,000 b/d was
Alaskan) (March 2009: 5,472,000 b/d). U.S. production of natural gas liquids in March
2010: 1,849,000 b/d (March 2009: 1,850,000 b/d). [API]

(January 2009: 60.4 billion cf/d). [DOE]-http://www.api.org/statistics
Now considering that, this is what states pay per gallon in cents on gas products. We are not talking about any small amount of money.
It's this type of destruction based on the dollar that's ruining our planet, government has far to much investment to be a true representation of our needs and we are definably not the only thing on the Earth with needs.
