Gee, take a trip down to your old fishing spots this weekend and report back if a few politicians blowing hot air is worse than this environmental disaster that will linger for years.

The government is putting the cart before the horse here. I agree that they need to get chewed out but not until we stop the flow and clean-up. It's very unproductive to focus time and energy on these hearings (while the oil is still flowing)when the feds could be spending MORE time figuring out the best solution to fix this problem. We all know who is responsible but we can worry about pointing figures afterwards. It's like if a man is on fire...burning alive, is the firefighter or anyone going to question the burning man... "wait a second, how'd this happen? How long have you been on fire? did you know this was going to happen?" before they attempt to put the flames out??

We all know that the feds are not experienced in this matter and they are only getting in the way and causing MORE delays and problems.
