The reson that our government let this happen is because the U.S. government employees are just as clueless as Obama is. Our government has become staffed with senior level GS ratings and no clue about what they are doing or what they are regulating. Democrats need to either ride bicycles to work or have a windmill strapped to the top of their cars. Just watch, foreign governments will cause gas prices to go up to around $7 per gallon, for which Obama will blame Bush. We have a IDIOT for a president. He is an amatuer.

If we can put those lines that far under water why can't we fix it? Why didn't they think about that when building the oil rig,and why would our goverment even let this happen? We can't even put a new roof on our home without permits and inspections you would think they would be more precise on someting of the magnitude of an oil rig.Our gulf will never be the same in our lifetime not two or three years.Just red tide kills the gulf for atleast 2-3 years.
WHY??????Does our Goverment constantly lie to the public I am in Pasco county and our water quality is down and smells of oil.In Hernando county people swimming in the Gulf (My Family) all had diarhea for two days.Is it really safe.

Why can't they use tankers equipped with giant hoses placed at or very near where the oil is leaking out and use vacuum / suction. They could then transfer the oil and water to other tankers to transport it to any of the refineries along the coast. Seems like an awful lot of oil going to waste that could be sold and the money used to go toward clean up and restoration.
