If Obama can't secure the borders or contain an oilspill, why doesn't he at least stay out of the way of the governors who make an effort?

Somehow, and I remain curious just how, the recent oil spill has been laid at the feet of President Obama. The fact he had virtually nothing to do with the drilling or the accident which caused this tradgedy has apparently escaped those critics who insist on continuing to place the blame on the...
