Obviously you didn't read the OP:
HE oversaw the Mineral Management Services for 1.5 years, so if BP was operating so poorly and dangerously, HE had time to fix it.
Comon, at least learn to read before you pretend you know something.
whether or not he had time to fix MMS is immaterial. he certainly should have stepped in and thrown the govt's resources at the problem long before 5 weeks went by.
when the exxon valdez disaster happened, bush1 federalized the response after 14 days.
obama fucked up.
It's simply a lie that no federal resources were deployed for the first 5 weeks.
What Federal Resources were deployed?
