President Obama has resently said that he doing everything in his power to deal with the recent oil spill. He met with officials involved in the clean-up of the spill in southeastern Louisiana. He said that the clean up will most likely take many days even with the best technology. Interior secretary Ken Salazar says that the spill may take weeks to get under control and that we should prepare for the worst. BP owned that well and is responisble for all the consequences of the spill. They are building a system to prevent leaking from spreading but it will be another 6-8 days to be put into affect. There are many people who are concerned with the long term results of the spill.
I think this whole deal is not okay. I am not completly sure how it happened in the first place. No matter how it happend, there should have been many safety and security levels that the rigs should have to go through. Something like this should never happen. There are already many obvious short term effects of the spill. Not to mention all of the long term effects that are bound to occur. Again, I don't see how something like this could have happend. I feel like something like this is preventable, but I am not familiar with the process so I could be wrong. I think it is better to be safe then sorry, instead of the situation that we are in now.. not safe and very sorry.
