And since I know when you say government, you really mean Obama. So he's making his second visit to the region to get a firsthand account of the damage. Not that he really needs to, but this is to simply appease his critics.

But what would you like to see him DO to alleviate this disaster?

Well we have a bunch of engineers, scientist, contractors, etc... on the federal pay roll now so lets take the best of them and let them figure this thing out. Maybe they can't help but the more brain power we have thinking of a solution then the quicker we will stop this leak. I mean we can send a guy into space so lets get some of those brains working on this problem.

How about Obama asking for people in this field to gather to do some brain storming to try and help BP figure this out. Just flying over the oil spill once a month does nothing.
