I don't belive they should get fined as they are trying the best they can to stop it.

Also who would fine them?
Hmm... The accident was caused by pure negligence though. That is my main gripe. These companies keep finding ways to drill deeper, but are not prepared for the disasters that can happen because of it. It's like the lit a city on fire and only had a bucket of water on standby to put it out.

BP was not the only company invovled though, and the main culprit here is a company called Transocean. Although BP allowed the oversight on safety because they just didnt care. A lot of blame to go around.

To those blaming the president. What is it that he can really do? One of the things I have been reading is that if he gives aid to BP that it could possibly get rid of their liability. Not to mention that the only people who have the technology to fix these problems... is the oil companies themselves. We could send in the coast guard, the navy, the air force... w/e, but they wouldn't know what to do to fix the damn leak.

I wish everyone here would do a little bit more research before throwing around crazy accusations. There is a lot more going on under the hood the what the media cares to tell you.
