WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration says the cost of cleaning up a giant oil spill off the Gulf of Mexico will fall on BP PLC, the company that operated the rig.
White House spokesman Nick Shapiro says President Barack Obama has directed his administration to aggressively confront the oil spill. The military is working to determine how its array of aircraft, ships and equipment might be able to assist the cleanup operation.

Why does Obama hate big business?
I think BP should pay for the cleanup.
I also think US law should require remote operated valves on oil-rigs that operate in US waters.....but it doesn't.
Excellent suggestion. Why do you think that is? Did Obama deny us this protection?
