I really dont know the whole story about this oil spill except for all the pictures of it on the news. I dont think any President is responsible for it and I place all the blame on the oil companies. Does anyone really know what caused the explosion and why they couldnt cap it immediately. These companies are rich, rich and rich and should have emergency plans in effect when this sort of thing happens. I dont understand why they couldnt cap it. They shouldnt be drilling out there if they cant control the oil should an explosion happen. Then you could buy your oil from Canada and not one of those middle eastern countries.
