You mean as compared to Obama and every other Democrat trying to blame Bush? It doesn't take a lot of throwing to get Obama under the bus on this. He waited too long to respond and didn't show a sense of urgancy. He should have been in all hands on deck mode within a week of the accident.
Problem is, if Obama and Crew would've been out there the first week, and said, "OK BP, you obviously don't know how to plug this leak. The Federal Government is taking over the operation, we'll bring in some of OUR people to fix it, then send you the bill." Every Republican and Conservative in this country would start screaming, "There Obama goes again! Trying to tell a big business what to do. Another stinking government takeover. Tell Obama to keep his Socialist fingers out of BP's business!" This oil spill disaster is a 'no win' scenerio for Obama, no matter how he would've handled it..
