Ever since the oil spill there has been many questions arising about President Obama`s administration. Now there is halting approval for any new deepwater drillings and suspended the drilling of 33 new wells. The reason behind such a decision is based on the idea that it might cause another disaster. The basic question comes down to whom is passing the information to President Obama that causes him to make such decisions. Definitely he has some people commission to recommend some options to him.

He needs a reality check. No matter what we say about climate change or going green currently we still need the oil. It is the main source that keeps everything moving for now. The idea was to halt the operations for 6 months. Now let`s look at the cost factor here. If the U.S. does not get enough oil from its own land, it will have to buy more from foreign lands. The cost per barrel might go up. Once that happens the oil will be refined and sold to the public. Cost of petroleum or diesel will increase to cover the overhead cost. Who will have to bare the costs in the end? You might think that just because they are new oil projects it might not affect us, well it will.

BP has been lying about oil leak and they did not have viable solution at all. Is Obama looking into this seriously or is he just looking away. It is not necessary that BP needs to do the clean up. The U.S. government can take charge of the situation. Why does the President even bother letting BP handle the situation when they can`t even manage their own industry. The government should not have allowed BP in the first place to be in control of the situation and let commissioners from the U.S. government just sit and watch. Already this situation has caused a tragic suicide of William Allen Kruse, a 55 year old who was an Alabama charter boat captain. He was despondent over the spill and its aftermath which stressed him a lot and eventually leading to suicide. Could it get worse? Yes, now Louisiana has rain that contains oil and water.

What about Tony Hayward? Simple he does not care. What about the top executives and chief operators? Well they simply lied and are waiting for someone to do something. BP is completely lost on what to do that they are just buying time by downplaying the claims on the oil leak. The people living in Louisiana are depending on the government. The government is pointing its finger at BP. The first thing they have all to do is to be on the same side. Currently, they are all on different sides and are causing problems to one another. All of them need to be united. Everyone in this situation is awaiting one another for an answer or a solution. There are people who are doing something to prevent the oil leak from getting worse but they are getting opposed.

This situation is going to get worse. There are possibilities of more people being driven to suicide and more wildlife just disappearing.
