President Announces Oil Spill Commission

It's a good start.

Adding... You know, the commission isn't the only thing the administration is doing. I'm getting kind of sick of the snarky kneejerk reaction: Oh! A commission! That'll stop the leak! The commission is only one aspect of the government response at this point.

This is an impossible situation. The Deepwater Horizon was located in international waters. BP is a British company. I would suggest just nationalizing BP if it weren't for, you know, England. In all seriousness, I'd like to know what else, exactly, the administration could be doing right now to solve the crisis.
