I have stated many times (to be fair, perhaps in another thread) that I would have "fired" BP, and assigned responsibility for stopping the leak to a "team" or another company. Second, I would have used the power of the government to get all available equipment (tankers, skimmers, boom, etc.) in the Gulf in the first week. I would have clearly assigned operational control to a government entity, perhaps even the Navy. I would have flown in every expert in the world to the Gulf to review and give input. I would have told Congress to hold off on hearings until after the situation was resolved. I would have made sure the relief well drilling started within the first 2 or 3 days. I would have made sure that Gov. Jendal and I were on the same page, and that our communication was not via his news conference, etc, etc,etc.
