1. The government should take responsibility for supervising BP stopping the leak.

2. BP should be responsible for stopping the leak. The Government should be...
responsible for everything else logistically, and BP should be responsible financially.

5. A combo of post one and two ---
The Government should be overseeing what BP does to cap the leak. BP has shown themselves to be incompetant with the clean-up of the leak -- we need to take that over and charge them for it.
