Perhaps BP and their faulty practices that led to the leak could have been monitored more consistently, infractions punished, violations repaired, etc... and these are probably the responsibilities of a national regulatory agency. Although the POTUS may be part of the structure of a failed regulatory agency, I don't believe that makes him personally responsible for any single incident. <br /><br />His mission now should be to see that national regulatory agencies that protect our environment and the harm industries cause are better managed in the future. If these agencies are responsible for assisting and regulation the cleanup they should do that. The responsibility for the incident falls directly on the leaders of BP, however, and their failure in following laws, regulations and safety procedures that should have prevented the leak. It is SO standard in any industry to have Standard Operating Procedures and backup plans in place should SOPs not be able to be fulfilled or fail - what happened?Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05858538104932562046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948868926194285120.post-75321674189647365832010-06-13T23:58:59.606-04:002010-06-13T23:58:59.606-04:00During church service today, a leader prayed for P...During church service today, a leader prayed for President Obama to know what to do to stop the oil leak. No mention of BP management.<br /><br />I guess the author of the prayer believes President Obama is responsible for stopping the leak.Jeff Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17064765953077110377noreply@blogger.com
