Oil Spill/Government Involvement

As many of you may know, there is an oil spill going on in the gulf of mexico. It has been spewing oil since late April and continues through May. In BP's "worst case scenario" about 90 million gallons have leaked into the gulf of mexico(May 26, 2010). The spill has been going on for over a month, and BP plans to take action today wednesday May 26, with a live feed to them shooting mud into the pipes. Should the government step in? Take over? Someone needs to step up. We cannot continue to let oil spill into the Gulf. I believe the government should take control of the problem since BP hasnt been able to shut it down. The government also should lay a HUGE fine on BP, not only for the problem, but the lack of urgency. BP built the oil rig, did they not know how to shut it off? BP needed to act quickly and urgently, and did not, Therefor the  Government should step in NOW.
