Barack Obama has a great dilema. Oil spill is not his/Dems fault. Its not an act of God (ala Katrina). It is not a problem caused by no one, it was CAUSED by BP, and BP should clean up/has best expertise to do so.
PLUS, he is always atatcked as Socialist, big government, takeover, etc. and has tired to lose that label. Plus govt doesn't have expertise to take over spill, and if he takes it over, CW is that he "buys it" politically.
That Said, BO the guiding principle since taking office is that whatever you do, the Repugs will ATTACK you.
BO should forget political caution and TAKE OVER all releif/clean up efforts, use BP, bill them for sevrices, but BO and ARY/NAVY should step in, take over, and run the shots, even if it just ordering BP around. This is the instance when weakness and caution will be detrimnetal.
